    Random freezing and crashing to black screen, PC still on, and extreme Service CPU usage


    So I've got two weird issues my PC has been experiencing recently. Last few months actually. One, is there is a random Service in the Task Manager that is randomly taking up like 8% of my CPU. This started sometime in the last few months I think. I can end the Service and everything seems to be fine.

    Second, I keep getting random crashes. My PC will freeze for a few seconds then it crashes and the screen goes black but the PC itself stays on. Sometimes a weird loud droning noise in my headphones accompanies this crash but not always.

    Ryzen 1800X, Asus ROG Crosshair VI Extreme latest BIOS, 16GB TridentZ DDR4 3600 RAM running at 3333MHz CL14 using a Stilt profile built into the motherboard BIOS, XFX Vega 64 LC GPU, 20.2.2 Radeon driver, Samsung 850 Evo SSD with OS on it, 500GB HDD for files. Windows 1909 i think.

    Random Crash/Freeze on Build 10130


    Hello everyone.

    I have been running the Windows 10 preview for the last few months and other than a driver issue here or there, did not experience any real problems. However, with the last update to build 10130, I have been experiencing a random crash/freeze that manifests itself in one of two ways:

    1. If I step away from the computer and come back before the monitor is set to go to sleep, I will come back to a frozen cursor, unable to do anything.
    2. If I step away from the computer and come back after the monitor has gone to sleep, I will come back to a black screen, unable to do anything.
    In both cases, I have to hold the power button in to shut down the computer for a restart.

    Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated.

    TiWorker.exe spikes in CPU usage and causes crash

    I have done those, but I still have freezes and crashes. Doing the SFC /scannow resulted in a freeze in my computer. I believe the high CPU usage may be causing crashes. Would it not be possible for TiWorker to trigger a crash because of the massive spike
    in CPU usage caused by it? These crashes and freezes have only occurred in the last few days, and it seems weird to only crash while TiWorker spikes in CPU usage

    Random CPU usage spikes

    On my computer, the process "system" (ntoskrnl.exe) likes to randomly max out cpu usage, which crashes graphical based programs (games, stops youtube) and blacks out the screen for a moment once it is done. I have googled the issue but does not bring any
    solutions. It uses barely any network or disk usage and just seems to max out the CPU just for the fun of it. It is also a system32 program so I can not delete it without the large possibility of it causing boot issues

    If it helps I recently upgraded the computer with a new CPU, Motherboard and got windows 10 pro.
