Hi all,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but i need help asap.
New to the PC Building ventures, so i've built my pc (specs listed below) but i am having problems with my CPU usage in task manager it
just goes sky high. This occurs, when i'm using any interner browser (chrome, ie...) watching youtube or any video, or just randomly
any windows services will hit 60-95% and drop. Fan just runs and makes a constant semi-loud noise.
I have attacehd a picture, when windows was installing updates and at random times hit 98-100% for 10 seconds and then dropped
instantaneously.
Initally i installed Windows 8.1 and had the problem, now i've down a clean install of windows 7 and i'm having same problem.
I read online that removing the cpu fan and putting it back on would do the trick, not realizing after i had done that the thermal
paste may get messed up. What shall i do??? Should i remove once again and clean up and re-apply thermal paste?
Yes, i have all drivers installed and up to date.
I have no idea what is causing this problem, on average what should the average cpu usage be?
