100% CPU usage

[Allan_Thorsteinsson]

Hi

Im trying to play PUBG, but my CPU is running 100% even with low resolution, I think i have played it before with higer resolution.

I have an cpu i5-9400F, 16gb ram and RTX 2060 gpu.

I just made a fresh install but it keeps getting to 100% even tough my GPU is only running at 50%

ANY advise?

I just made a fresh install

Did you also clean install the system drivers and starting with the most important drivers of all the chipset.

Is it only PUBG that you have the problem with.

[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Can you post the brand and model name or number of the power supply (PSU).

Download then run Speccy ( free ) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.[/COLOR]

Can you also answer the above for us.

One thing that we can tell you even before looking as the Speccy report;

the psu is a corsair VS550

CV = Corsair Value and should never be used anywhere near any add on GPU, it is rated as – Tier D • Only for iGPU builds the original Value Series version btw was worse still and rated at – Tier F • Replace immediately

[Allan_Thorsteinsson]

i used “snappy” to update the drivers so it should be ok.

just tested sniper elite and the cpu was around 90% so i gues this is what to be expected.

tried PUBG again and still 100%

Nope.

Once Windows has been clean installed you must then install first the MBs chipset drivers then the storage/SATA drivers and third the graphics drivers, the drivers can either come from a disk provided by the motherboard manufacturer or downloaded from their site and saved to a flash drive etc, this is a must and Windows should not be allowed to check for updates before it has been done as more often than not Windows installs the wrong drivers or in the incorrect order and this can cause all sorts of problems.

The reason why this procedure is so important, the chipset is what enables the MB to be able to communicate with all the hardware + are the first drivers that Windows looks for on boot.

You make no mention of the PSU which if it has not done so already will brick your GPU and potentially other hardware if it goes bang.

Your build needs a minimum of a 550W or above Gold efficiency rated PSU from one of the following, Corsair RM range, EVGA, Seasonic or Super Flower, seven year warranty minimum but preferably ten.

i upgrade the bios form a file form asus homepage, and Graphics drivers form nvidia.

i cant solve the PSU as for now, but will look into it…does this psu eccect performance or just bad quality…it has been going for 5 years

[phillpower2]

The PSU is the most important of all computer components, it is like the human heart and look what happens when that has issues, short version, that crap PSU has and will still be damaging your hardware and the GPU being the most power hungry tends to suffer first and the most.

We can’t do anything more than advise you as to how a computer needs to be set up or on the importance of having an appropriate power supply, it is entirely up to you now whether or not you act on the information provided.

Thanks for you input, and i will strongly think about changing my PSU.

Other than update recomendation, which i do appreciate, I have hoped for som input og experience in how the usage can be this high…either crappy processor, or some setting i havent tested or thought about.

but thanks for the time you used.

We can check things On the software side.

MinitoolboxScan.

Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop.
Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator.
When the program opens Select ALL
Click Go
Attach the log or copy and paste.

done…

Prolly not the best idea, you should always get drivers direct from the manufactures website starting with chipset first.

We can do this but keep that in mind, that one or more incorrect drivers may be installed, and your machine may never work correctly. Although they are installed and working, doesn’t mean they are doing what they need to do correctly.

With that in mind… Let’s jump into it.

HI

Thanks for you effort, and i have looked i through. I was a little hesitant running unknown scripts on my PC so i looked other places for solutions as well.

i appreciate the help, and having an updated system is ofcourse the basic, and i know you guys mean well, but i dont think exchanging my PSU wouldnt solve my problem (110% cpu usage)…even thoug it proberbly would be for the best for the mashine

but before really diving into to above mentioned i saw som youtube of what i think is regarding the same issue i have “CPU bottlenecking”

[MEDIA=youtube]WMbZp6Slo4Q[/MEDIA]

I did som ingame adjustment and it is better now not perfect but better (playable), increasing work tasks to the GPU to give breathing space for the CPU…im no expert but this might be a solution to similar problems with others…where the ingame CPU is struggeling.

again thanks a million for your input and help, much appreciated.

You could give my instructions a shot. There is a restore point created in each set of instructions. You could simply revert back to that point, if there is something you do not like. If there is something that I know how to do, is to squeeze performance out of a machine. (y)
