Howdy,
Hoping anyone can assist with a CPU issue. Been running this build for roughly 5 months now with absolutely no problems. Few days ago, upgraded to Windows 10 creator or whatever they were calling it, which caused an infinite amount of issues. Today I reset to an older windows version using whatever default function exists on windows to do so. Since doing this, my CPU has been encountering all types of issues. It only idles between 3-4%, but as soon as I launch any game, it spikes to 100% almost instantly. Nothing particularly cpu intensive either (Dota 2 is causing it to hit 100%) while my gpu is hitting no higher than 38%. Even a game as simple as Binding of Isaac caused it to hit ~60% cpu utilization, which is definitely wrong. The cpu utilization gets so high that it seems to actually interfere with the internet, resulting in massive amounts of ping and even making it difficult to load a webpage. If anyone could recommend any fixes to this, it would be much appreciated.
For what it's worth, the specs are:
MSI Z170A mobo
Intel Core i5 6600k
Nvidia GTX 970
Thanks for any and all help
