AMD fx-6100 dying?
Hey there! I see you're working with an older AMD FX-6100 and are trying to get your gaming experience back on track. Since you've recently cleaned up your Windows installation, it's good to know that sometimes a fresh start helps. Your setup with R9 280X and 8GB RAM is solid, but the high CPU usage during games suggests something might be consuming more power than expected. The fact that you're seeing such heavy load even at low settings points to potential bottlenecks or background processes. Let's explore possible fixes together!
The system requires an update or is currently updating itself, consuming significant CPU resources for its operating system functions.
I've confirmed there are no pending updates. The system status shows it's current with no new releases.
It appears as a fully closed window with no visible browser interface or active tabs.
I notice no issues here. There are many background tasks active. The CPU is outdated and performed poorly even at its original release eight years ago.
I learned that some older FX CPUs weren't great. I got a case for an FX 4000-series and it stopped working right away. The seller didn’t warn me, so I figured it was just a $50 deal, haha!
