Complex scenario involving 9700k
Complex scenario involving 9700k
Open Windows Explorer again. In Task Manager, press the stop button to initiate a restart.
This model is placed in an unusual position for Intel, yet it excels in gaming.
It seems like you're dealing with an uncertain situation. Consider removing the NZXT software. I experienced a similar problem with my 7700k where it would load fully at idle, but the issue resolved after resetting the system.
It looks like the first image shows several processes running, which is unusual for simple tasks like a slicing tool. When those specific jobs finish, usage drops. It seems the task manager might be giving inaccurate readings. Two different monitoring tools agree on low CPU usage, but the issue is likely with Task Manager itself. A quick search suggests many people are seeing problems with Task Manager's CPU stats, often just advising to ignore them.
No success finishing the tasks here. I think it should be handled by the task manager; otherwise, hwmonitor should take over. Is there a problem with the board sending wrong voltage signals? My main thought is a hardware issue, possibly needing a new CPU placement.
