CPU constantly at 100% in task manager

That is exactly what I did previously. I tried setting max to 80% to test and task managers cpu displays constant 80% instead of 100% on the performance tab and 80% above the cpu column in the users tab. Sadly it has no effect but thank you for the suggestion.

 

CPU @ 100% in Task Manager.. but in error


Sailindawg, did Resource Monitor show some silly high % use, in the millions/billions? Does the 'Details' tab in Task Manager show 'System Idle Process' normal? It does sound like you have the same issue, I've still not fixed it. You might be lucky and a BIOS update works for you as it has others, I'm stuck on the B2 stepping which means I can't upgrade the BIOS *Sad

MrPumpkin, what process does task manager say is using the most CPU usage?

 

CPU constantly at 100% in task manager

Something to try. Not a guaranteed fix.

Just updated to W10 now cpu at 100% all the time

Check the first screenshot here to see value before the fix:
FireFox displayed too many times in the Task Manager

Check here to see the real value when task manager wrongly showed 100% CPU:
