i use both task manager, msi center and hwmonitor to check my cpu temps and activity and it shows different cpu usage in each





msi center shows 1% usage

hwmonitor shoes 2% usage

and task manager shows 100% usage

can someone tell me whats wrong here idk why it is doing this

i use :
ryzen 5 5600g

b550 mag tomahawk msi motherboard

apparently some software is conflicting or something idk

also wmi provider host is showing like 25% cpu usage idk what this is and i googled it and it said i shouldnt stop it so idk

i should also mention i made this computer myself on christmas day so all the parts are not that old other than my gpu is a gtx 770 by msi

Hi Zac,

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.

1 and 2 percent difference may be explained by different rounding in these tools. Task manager may show incorrect CPU load values if there are minor incompatibilities in the BIOS. Please check for BIOS updates.

And check CPU load with Process Explorer. This tool shows correct values. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/...

 

CPU and GPU usage at 100% until task manager is opened

Recently, I have been seeing that my CPU temperature is extremely high (80C) during idle or browsing internet and this changes when I open task manager to check what is using my CPU so much. As soon as i open task manager, my cpu usage goes down from 100% to 6-10%.

I am familiar with the bug from windows that causes the CPU usage to be at 100% when you open task manager for a split second before it can read the temperature and that's why i use msi afterburner to read my CPU and GPU usage as well as temperature.

During idle, when my laptop is plugged in and left unattended without task manager open, but with msi afterburner open, my CPU temps go crazy while my CPU usage gets rocketed at 100%. This also happens with the GPU sometimes.

I have read online about this and someone said it could be a virus that uses crypto mining software to hijack my hardware. This is a big issue as when i am doing my work it constantly causes interruptions if i dont have task manager open.

I need help to fix this and how to prevent this from happening in the first place I have run multiple virus and antimalware checks which have not changed anything yet.

thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
