Windows 10: Undergoing high CPU usage. Need Urgent Help.

Hi,
So two weeks ago I had an issue related to High CPU and RAM usage. I was able to fix High Memory usage or memory leak but unfortunately CPU is still spiking up. I have tried doing everything that I could but unfortunately i'm not able to read the trace I got from xperf.


Before this, I wiped my entire hard-drive, reinstalled windows 4-5 times (even after reallocating partitions) and checked malware. My cpu has a bad dimm slot though but before realizing, I had no issue with high cpu usage or memory. I even cleaned my cabinet and reapplied thermal paste.


I did make my pc work twice during after cpu spikes but starting after shutting down, cpu spiked up again. I always saw ntoskrnl to be the issue although if ntoskrnl calmed down, I had problems with any program that I start, ntoskrnl spiked up my cpu anyway. Plus I experienced a strange thing that whenever my cpu got stable, memory started to leak and vice versa. Another thing that I noticed is that whenever I start up my task manager (even after closing it and waiting for few seconds before opening back up), I saw System interrupt using up 100% of my CPU for a second or two before it showed ntoskrnl taking up 25-30% cpu usage along with diagnostic process service and wdm.


Please do have a look at the trace in the link and let me know the issue.

Ram - 32GB (came down to 16 due to bad dimm slot)

Also if you need any other info, please let me know.

high cpu usage

After downloading windows 10, anytime I run any programs, I get high CPU usage. It does not matter whether it is google chrome, task manager, playing games, whatever. Anything seems to spike the CPU usage. I have already run malwarbytes and my antivirus
programs and find no viruses. Any suggestions? Thanks.
