high CPU usage while idle

sirliam99 · Dec 4, 2016

My I5-3570 uses ~30% while idle and the ram is also at 30% according to task manager. Also while playing Battlefield 1 it only uses 80% max. I tried running windows defender and malware bytes, I also uninstalled a few programs but the problem continues to persist.

here's whats happening: https://gyazo.com/e91b77d0ecc73e62f561695d0103ad39

You can run resource monitor (windows key + R and then write "resmon"), go to the CPU tab and there you can see with more detail which process is taking this big part of your cake.

The problem comes when the processes are dllhost.exe, svchost.exe or a windows s**t like that, cause is more difficult to find the real issue, sometimes is just downloading updates and stuff.

here is what I found

i looks like windows defender and malware bytes was using the most of the CPU but it stopped using resources right after I snapped this screen shot. Right now my CPU is sitting at 5-10% so I guess problem solved? I'm going to try out BF1 and see if it runs smoothly.

so I played BF1 and It was getting ~90 usage which helped my performance a fair bit.
