Processing maximum load while two applications are running
I just set up my i9900k using an Aorus Z390 motherboard. I tweaked the BIOS a bit and ended up going back to the default settings. But when I run games like Rainbow Six Siege, my CPU usage jumps straight to 100% while the game runs at around 80%. Is this an issue? If so, what you could try would be really helpful! I’ll do my best to answer your questions quickly.
It's clear something isn't right. My 9900K paired with an R6 processor doesn't deliver the performance it should.
Don't see anything unusual. Restart your BIOS options. Choose XMP profile F5 and confirm exit. Then check your CPU performance.
I attempted this but remain fully operational during gameplay. The visual effect occurs each time I engage in Siege mode.
remove the CMOS battery, disconnect jump pins, erase the CMOS memory. If that fails, reinstall the BIOS—this sounds suspicious, possibly malware or multiple antivirus alerts. Have you recently added any updates like Speccy, CCLeaner, or Avast? They can restrict performance like no other. Also, check if you visited unusual websites around the time this occurred. The fact that you’re seeing 280 processes is concerning. You might need to reinstall Windows 10. If the issue persists, back up your files now—especially important documents, memes, and personal data.
If CPU usage isn't increasing, you might not need to worry. I've disabled certain apps via privacy settings, and I'm running Windows as lightly as possible. If everything seems fine, try basic steps first. This note was added around the point where the YouTuber discusses privacy settings, since most extra processes are usually found there (especially in background apps).
I’ve reinstalled Windows and still face the same problem—will updating the BIOS help?
Sorry, I wasn’t as precise as I should have been. It’s still fully functional, but after about three minutes my CPU fans started getting really loud. I noticed this only happens in Siege, where I play more intense games like Horizon 4 and Destiny 2, which run smoothly at around 20-30. I’m not sure what’s causing it otherwise.
