CPU usage at 100% while doing nothing

[MrEnglishMan]

So basically my CPU fan broke, I bought another installed it correctly (double checked everything on it) and i thought everything was fine, I start using my pc again as normal. Remember i have not installed anything new or changed anything other than the fan and the thermal paste. Randomly my cpu is jumping to 100% and everything now seems to take up boatloads of my cpu usage. And i’ve tried everything to fix it.

Specs: Windows 7 64bit home premium
CPU is a I5 2500k @ 3.30GHz
GPU is a EVGA GTX 970 SSC
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8P67 PRO REV 3.1 (LGA1155)
12gb of ddr3

Please go HERE and download the portable version of Speccy. Save it to somewhere you can find, locate the file and as it comes as a Zip file use your favorite unzip application to decompress it. Open the newly created folder and double left click Speccy.exe if you have a 32 bit system or Speccy64.exe if yours is 64bit. If you are not sure what your system is click HERE.

Speccy will open and after a short wait will display a summary of your system specs.

BTW: once you have finished with speccy and no longer want it removing it is easy because it is a portable app with no install. Simply delete the downloaded file and folder you created when you decompressed it. Gone:thumbsup:

Says my cpu is running at 95c, Is there any reason why it is doing that? The fan should be able to keep it very cool.

posting that Speccy report will help us help you.
it’ll show all things that could be causing your issues, like; Services, Processes and Scheduled Tasks.

[MrEnglishMan]

Checked all that already, Also checked the temp in bios and MSI and they’re pretty much the same i’m 100% certain that its not a process or anything

Hi MrEnglishMan. When your CPU usage spikes to 100% what does your task manager show under the process tab?

[aashimagupta]

Go in task managers’ detailed process list and see processes from all users. Could be something like the .NET framework recompiling stuff, often takes hours to complete on PC. wait for it to finish
