I have had this problem for a good few month now and have started a thread before but with no real solution....
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18452661&highlight=usage+username_lettuce
Basically i started to notice that my CPU was reporting a 100% usage in programs like RealTemp, CPU-Z, EasyTune 6 etc even though i wasnt stressing the CPU at all other than browsing the net, i have all the correct CPU settings enabled in the BIOS (c3/c6/c7,C1, EIST etc)
I have worked out how to remedy the issue but only for short periods!. Basically if i go into Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Power Option and if i select 'Resort default settings for this plan' for the active power plan then the CPU Usage stops being 100% used and goes back to normal levels, it even works even if i havent changed any settings in the power plan from default!.
I dont have a clue what would cause the CPU usage to be lock at 100% and by resorting default settings would help cure the problem for a while even if i havent changed any of the settings for the active power plan from default??
