          does anyone know why my cpu just randomly goes to 100% whenever i do anything. 2nd time this has happened. I just start my pc today and its fucking lagging whenever i do anything. Last time i just opened it up and tried to clean it a bit and it randomly worked again even though i basically did nothing. This time it didnt seem to work...

            Try replacing your thermal paste? Sounds like a cooling issue. You can download HWMonitor to verify whether it is or not. If it's overheating and you've cleaned up the fans and stuff, the next step is checking the thermal contact points.

              ^can confirm, something like this happened to my pc last year. Fan seemed to be running the same as usual, but my PC was really slow, and things were always overheating. Just remove the old paste with some rubbing alcohol and replace it.

                Any vid guides?

                  which process exactly causes 100% load? i never heard of just ANYTHING causing max load

                      pretty sure it's not a temp issue
                      constant high cpu load causes overheating, but not the other way around

                        Like when i open chrome or dota or guild wars it goes to 100% for a bit. Stays really high like 90-100 in games and 70-100 in chrome and everythings lagging

                        ywn

                          Tbh just before i left home it seemed to work again

                              Im not home rn so ill see later if its still fucked

                                win+r -> resmon -> CPU if you don't know how to open it
                                is still called resmon in win10? it probably is, it even looks the same as in win7

                                just open it in the background and when everything starts lagging again take a look at what process(-es) has the highest load

                                  I have win 7

                                  one syllable anglo-saxon

                                    well then its definitely resmon

                                      Cant u do the same with ctrl alt del?

                                        When i did it there the highest process was either a game running or chrome if no games were running. But it wasnt really using more than usual. I even clicked the show all processes and there was nothing in particular using a lot

                                          what cpu u have?

                                          ywn

                                            Like i5 4k or smth

                                            twitch.tv/afeect

                                              It kinda sounds like thermal issue, prob check sth like hw monitor while running sth like aida 64 stress test for 5-10 mins or doing multiple cinebench runs for 5 mins and post a pic here with ur temps. Maybe ur paste is all dry n shit.

                                                  Ill see how it works when i get home

                                                  twitch.tv/afeect

                                                    It's this shit u see in the middle, except your cpu won't be cut in half x) And if it feels dry af and just falls off, it's time to change it asap. Normaly it feels like ur tooth paste when it's new :d ur gonna find urs between ur heatsink and cpu.

                                                      But before u start all this shit check hw monitor while stress testing ur cpu to make sure it's thermals and not sth else.

                                                        it doesnt sound like thermal issue at all

                                                        obviously task manager doesn't measure cpu load by temp, if it says cpu has 90-100% load then either cpu does have 90-100% load or something makes it (and the OS, since everything lags) think so

                                                        if it was just temps his computer would just shut down eventually

                                                          no it wouldnt, your cpu just downclocks, that explains higher load and lag, I've overclocked mine to 5.3Ghz on stock paste and I was reaching 105C on cores and guess what was happening some of my cpu cores started downclocking to 4.7ghz or some shit to lower the temps and pc didnt shut down at all.

U can also go into ur bios and lower ur core voltage a bit if u have stock intel cooler. But for now just check thermal paste. Remove ur cpu cooler and see if the paste is dry and buy some decent one for gods sake it costs like 7$ but lasts so much longer and gives u much better thermals.
