CPU usage at 100% while doing nothing

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.

1. Click on the file menu.
2. Then click Publish snapshot.

A dialogue box will ask you to confirm, select yes.



Another dialogue box will open

1. Click Copy to Clipboard.
2. Then click Close.

Now that your link has been copied please paste it into your next post. It should look something like the example below

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

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

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
