Windows 10: Why is my laptop heating up during idle

My laptop fan would start blowing crazy even during idle, using HWmonitor i found the cpu usage was always above 50% even when i’m not doing anything and temperature was around 70-80c, Everytime i open task manager the CPU usage would drop to about 3-10% and my laptop starts cooling down. It seems like some program is running in the background which stops when task manager is opened

Processor speed non-stop at its boost speed when plugged in on idle, causing the laptop to heat to 99C

Hello, recently when I plug in my laptop CPU goes to it's boost clock (~3.4GHz) and laptop heats up to 95-100C which causes throttling, on idle nothing open.

When it runs off battery CPU is at it's normal clock, and the temps are great

I have tried:

• Clean Boot
  
• Changing power plan
  
• Changing the CPU boost to disabled
  
• Updating Windows
  
• Updating AMD drivers
  
• Updating BIOS
  

My specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3550H

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650

RAM: 8Gb (8x1)

HDD/SSD: 2Tb HDD, 256Gb SSD

Edit: CPU draws 11W on idle

Any help?

Thanks.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$
