Dammit, my gaming pc suddenly has 100% cpu usage, need HELP

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

what are my options brehs?

if I wait until windows 10, will that update cure the problem?

should I reformat to factory? if I do this is there a way to keep my game save files?
whats the best port of call the fan is going crazy cpu usage on a 100 and this is as soon as I start the pc.

whats strange tho is graphic intense gamers like assasins creed will still run fine once I get into the game, but apps like chrome n IE will hang.

run malwarebytes and check for malware. Sounds like you might have a virus. 100% is not a good look

Dammit, strange thing is I don't even download much stuff. would the windows 10 upgrade fix this? I did a virus scan using Microsoft scanner and it came up with nothing.

Mal ware bytes.

Right click your tool bar and go to task manager.

Look at your resource monitor. It will tell you what process or program is eating up your cpu.

Sounds like malware though

Like others have said download malware bytes you prolly got something running in the background that wouldn't even show up under processes.

And no, the upgrade to W10 won't fix it since it'll be an in-place upgrade

once I find out, how do I know if its safe or not to delete?

Find the process taking up all your cpu power and google it. It'll probably let you know it's a virus.

will ccleaner get rid of that?

also is there a way to save my game saves incase of restore?

Look it up before you do anything.

When you go to resource monitor. Click the cpu tab. Sort by cpu under processes. Whatever number has the highest percentage is your problem. If it's like svhost or something u need to run that malwarebytes.

I mean u should run mb anyway Then check again. Disconnect from network when u run.

If it's not a windows process it's safe to delete

open up task manager and see what process is spiking your CPU

Cccleaner is for removing temo and cac files.

Dont be lazy. Download and run mb and add free bit defender for added Antivirus protection if you don't have any protection.

Malwarebytes

Free bitdefender is the other program u need if u have no antivirus.

U need a mail address to register free bitdefender so use a disposable email address from www.mailinator.com

These days u need to wear 2 jimmies. An antivirus and a malware scanner
