    All Programs have a VERY HIGH POWER and 10% or less CPU usage issue

    I will use shot cut, and press S to split the video, or do other small stuff with ANY program. The system 100% locks for 5 to 50 minutes. CPU and RAM never get above 50% usage.

    But power usage goes from VERY LOW to VERY HIGH and until it goes away from VERY HIGH I cannot use the system for anything.

    Also takes a good hour to boot past the bios to windows.

    NOTE: I can play video games on it no problem, but anything not video game related windows 10 doesn’t like.

    Problem started when the system was 6 months old (It’s a IBUYPOWER gaming desktop that ran $2000).
    Fresh reformat/install of windows ten did not fix the problem.

    Ibuypower just responded to my tech request from a month ago to say "we are sorry but we need your sn to help you)… 1 month turn around time in my book means they have such $%^&*stuff they are swamped with user complained so, I am coming to you guys to see about getting actual help.

    Ideas?

      Hi,

      Try performing a clean boot in Windows and see if the same behavior occurs. Have you installed the latest drivers for your video card and chipset? Are you overclocking any components? What build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

      Also, please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions, thanks.

        vger, you are as broken as star trek the motion picture.
        16gm of ram in a $2000 gb gaming system doesn’t change how a low resource system works yet not impact video games like doom eternal. Read the OP

        I already did a full 100% fresh install of windows 10 reformatting and reinstalling everything.
        Nothing is over clocked as I dont need that.

        system details?
        OS - Windows 10
        CPU - Intel Core i7-8700k CPU @3/70GHZ 3.70GH
        Ram - 16GM, probably nothing special, what ever was normal in low end gaming rigs last year.
        Graphics - GeForce RTX 2080 (like I said, low end for last year)
        Storage 1tb ssd for OS, 4tb normal hd for programs and the rest.

              Are you using Windows 10 build 2004? Have you updated your motherboards BIOS to the latest version? Did you install all the latest drivers for your motherboards chipset and video card from NVIDIA’s website?

              Have you tried setting the power plan in the control panel to high performance?
