CPU usage suddenly jumps high, preventing the operation of previously functioning games.
CPU usage suddenly jumps high, preventing the operation of previously functioning games.
My computer’s configuration includes: a Prime x470 pro motherboard, a 550W, 80+ Bronze power supply, a Ryzen 5 2400G with integrated Vega 11 graphics, an AMD RX 580 (8GB) graphics card, two Corsair Vengeance RAM slots with 8GB of memory each. I’ve observed that my central processor is consistently overheating and generating problems with performance, preventing me from playing standard games like Vanilla World of Warcraft, Minecraft runs at a very slow 5 frames per second, League of Legends fluctuates between 5 and 45 fps at the lowest settings and frequently crashes, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare fails to connect to online servers or launches at all. Fortnite exhibits similar problems, failing to connect or run properly. I’ve attempted numerous troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling drivers for all components, disabling the integrated graphics card (which improved things slightly), ensuring the HDMI is connected to the GPU and not the motherboard, and exploring all solutions I’ve found online. I require assistance.
What is the power supply unit’s brand and model?
Could you provide the CPU and GPU temperatures and resource utilization while playing the game?
What are the RAM, SSD, and HDD usage levels during gameplay?
Run a malware scan on the system.
The PowerSpec 550W, featuring an 80+ Bronze certification and ATX form factor with non-modular capabilities, exhibited performance issues during a low-configuration Minecraft playthrough. The frame rate averaged 5 frames per second while the processor consistently operated at 100% capacity, with the graphics card maintaining a stable level of 1%, occasionally peaking at approximately 5%. System memory utilized roughly 45% of its 16GB capacity, although hard drive activity could not be determined. A complete malware scan with Avast was performed.
A DirectX diagnostic report revealed that my system was utilizing “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter” instead of the intended RX 580 graphics card – this could be relevant. However, when checking Device Manager under “Display Adapters,” it indicates that “Radeon RX 580 Series” is recognized as the graphics card and reported as functioning correctly.
Here’s a summary of the report:
Processor temperature: 35 degrees Celsius.
Graphics card temperature: 48 degrees Celsius.
Additionally, the HDMI cable linked to the display is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard.
Certainly, by utilizing the system monitor and “Open Hardware Monitor” to observe resource consumption, I’m seeing that my central processing unit’s activity is typically between 65 and 70 percent, maintaining a temperature of approximately 35 degrees Celsius. However, when a new application is launched, the CPU temperature briefly increases to 40 degrees Celsius before returning to a steady level of 100 percent utilization.
