Odd Cpu behavior
Odd Cpu behavior
Hi guys, this ones a little hard to explain but ill give it my best shot. After using my pc for a while i will stop and let the pc idle, but my cpu will sit at about 50c. as soon as i hit to open task manager the cpu goes idle and the temps will drop down to low 30's like it should, in HW info i can see something is keeping some cores at 100% usually 1 or 2 but as task manager opens they will like i said go idle and temps drop to where they should be, Im not sure if its windows or the Mobo that is causing it as it changed cpu today and the old and new are doing exactly the same. as i cant open taskmanager to see whats doing it i am out of ideas, with the new cpu (3600X) ryzen master will report its stuck at 4200mhz or there abouts until i open task manager, then it drops to like 8-900mhz. i dont have anything open or running except the usual windows defender amd radeon software and Logitech G-hub
Seems there might be an issue. Need to check malwarebytes or adwbytes.
I also have Malwarebytes installed, but I’ve disabled all unnecessary programs to check for potential issues. It’s strange how opening Task Manager brings everything back to normal.
It was my initial reaction too, though it seemed like the OP was suggesting this setup is fairly recent. It's important to scan for malware, especially if you're installing a fresh operating system—it looks unusual at that stage. @LeeCope3 If you check Resource Monitor, does the computer show similar patterns or can you locate the resource consumer?
