Windows 10: I have 100% cpu usage and I found the culprit, The systems idle manager.

I looked into windows process explorer and I found that system idle process is taking around 90-100% cpu usage, and I don't know what to do to get it down...

CPU usage 100% but system idle process says otherwise

Hello, So I was copying a large group of files (400 gigs) to an external drive, it was about 150 gigs in when the PC crashed ( i believe due to MSI usb speed up), i've since removed the MSI program but CPU usage stays at 100% from the moment the PC turns on, however system idle process shows it's using most everything which is good, and PC perfomance is normal and unlike if CPU usage was actually 100%, but I can't figure out how to fix this, any suggestions or tips would be so helpful, I've attached screen shots showing 100% usage but every program running doesn't add up to near that and system idle showing everything mostly idle. Thanks!!!!!

 

CPU Usage 100% and idle process is 100%

My CPU usage shows permanently 100% in task manager (in "Processes" tab) even my system idle process (in "Details" tab) is almost 100% and the CPU runs hot - fan is permanently on - CPU speed (in "Performance" tab) is always a bit above maximum speed!!!

Task manager showing 100% CPU usage at idle.

Task manager is showing 100% CPU usage at idle. If you look into the details to see what if anything is really using that much processing power and it shows "system idle process" at 99-100% when at idle. This is normal I know but task manager should not
be including "system idle process" when its calculating CPU usage. This is causing my CPU to ramp up and my fans to stay at full speed at ALL times.

Things I've tried:

*Re installing windows. (multiple different ways and at different times throughout the diagnosing process)

*Removed all ram and just a single stick (multiple different known good sticks) & and two sticks

*Removed GPU

*Cleared cmos

*Bios Update

*Multiple different bios setting and power settings

*Adjusted all windows power settings plugged in and on battery (tho this is a pc)

I'm at a loss. There is no performance loss but having my CPU automatically overclock and fans at full speed all the time is not going to work.

Oh and on a weird side note, few nights ago was working on fixing this issue like usual and ended up accidently leaving the computer on all night (which I don't do because I don't like leaving the CPU overclocked it see's about 50-60c at idle) when I woke
up and went to turn computer off CPU usage was at 1-4%...!!!! I was shocked and thought that some how it must have updated widows and fixed the issue. But issue came back next re-boot.

SYSTEM SPECS:

Mother Board = z77a-gb65

CPU = i3 3240

RAM = 16g (4x4g 2 corsair 2 pny)

GPU = Gigabyte GTX 970 G1

Thank you to anyone that can help...
