My CPU utilization on my laptop is permanently at 100%. Even after restarting etc. I have no applications or anything else on the PC. I have completely reset it and still the task manager shows me 100% CPU utilization. When I exit the program that uses the CPU the most, another program immediately takes up this space so that the load is really constant at 100%. Hardware damage can be excluded because it has been checked.
An I7 7th is installed
gtx 1070
16GB RAM
I can't even play some games on the lowest settings.
Have you ever checked the energy setting?
Then something is broken.
According to the service where the PC was checked, nothing is broken
Yes have everything on performance
Yes then go deeper into the settings. You can also set how much the CPU is used from minimum to maximum.
I guess you have the settings there minimum and maximum always at 100%
If you know your way around you have to change it to advanced power settings. There's a + for processor power management.
Maybe you have malware on it, so I recommend installing a virus scanner and scanning the entire hard drive.
Which scanner is the best?
Kaspersky has a free virus scanner that is good.
Otherwise this one: https://www.pandasecurity.com/ it should be good, but I don't know.
Where can I find this?
Otherwise have a look in the task manager. Which programs are always at the top under the CPU tab that use up the PC so much.
What cpu do you have
If you tell your computer that it should run everything on top performance, it will do that too.
Go to the energy setting; there whether the advanced settings, look for the point processor clocking and set the minimum processor load to 10 or 20 percent.
Then when you reboot it should work. If not, limit the maximum CPU performance to 50 percent. So you will be able to see whether the settings are accepted by the system at all.
Then you can adjust everything as you need it. Another important point is the cooling policy. Here you can choose between active and passive. Active means more heat equals faster fans, passive means more heat means less processor clock speed. You have to decide for yourself what is best for you based on your applications.
πππ
Oh, that's the way it is with passive and active, I don't quite understand it, thanks for Dre clarification.
I thought it would be active with the CPU and passive based on the warmth of the PC π
Well if he burns with a 2000 CPU, it doesn't get any better with 2.5 GHz and crammed programs π¬ OK i7 should do it, but I wonder how he manages to play with a graphics card 1000 or 2-4 GB at all. Maybe he means the GPU?
Well, our answers were similar π it took me until I got what is what π€£. But personally I would only passively cool the laptop, because the fan is annoying π. But I'm also absolutely not a gamer.
Yes, well, but that you won't travel much with a 1000 gpu these days should also be clear.
Usually there's too much garbage on the computers anyway. "Monitoring programs" for CPU, RAM, hard disksβ¦ Everything just eat up resources. And Windows itself needs too many resources anyway. That's why I love Linux π€£π€£π€£
Mmh so for me everything runs under 0.3% almost without doing anything except RAM which is at 16% π
Osore I can finally recommend you a program that takes over the settings for you, but what I'm currently using is a bit too aggro with the settings.
Take a look at Ashampoo winoptimizer 16 which is free! At least it was.
Haha, no thanks. Ashampoo is also such a software company π. I have 3D CAD architecture from them.
No, don't worry, I have my PC under control, I run win7 prof, 16gb 2x256gb sdd, 1x1tb ssd and a frozen system.
I can't complain, this configuration has been crash-free for many months π€£.
For a while I used Debian as a host and only worked with VMs (boot times under 10secπ) but unfortunately I need programs that run unstable under VMs, hence W7 π
Look in the task manager under "Details". "System idle process" (I don't know whether it has a German name) should cause the majority of the CPU load (especially if nothing is running). That's because if the processor is not doing anything, it might freeze otherwise. He always needs something to do.
That's not true⦠Idle is not counted towards the processor load. The CPU can even stand still in today's systems.
Which WIndows?
Presumably Windows has processes running in the background that are supposed to ensure a faster start etc. I don't have the names in my head because I hardly ever work with Windows anymore, but Superfetch was one of the processes.
These processes also stop at some point when they have finished their tasks.
If you want to turn this off, you search for "Superfetch" on the search engine and look at the instructions that describe it.
OK. I didn't know that, I read it once.
At least you should see in the details which program loads the CPU. Or in the process. Depending on.
