High performance settings keeps my cpu usage at 100% at all times

Hi i recently reset my gt73vr, i chose to clean all drives. After the process my laptop cpu is at 100% always even at idle. I never had this issue before i reset my pc so this is very unexpected since resetting the laptop should most likely clear all the bugs and issues. I switched my power options to balance mode and it immediately went down. I was always on high performance mode before and my cpu usage never locks to 100% unnecessarily.

Heres a vid

 

Close the Origin process and see what happens.

Clearly the problem is with Origin and not the power settings. It's just amplified by the power setting (the power setting is basically a red herring).

 

It has nothing to do with origin bro, when origin is closed its still at 100%

 

Reinstall windows.

 

I got it yesterday with the Windows update - everything was about locked. But after a hard reset it went away.

 

You re installed windows and cleaned the drives?

 

No, just forced shutdown and it was back acting normally. No idea what was forcing that 100% on CPU as even Task Manager was running like in molasses taking tens of seconds to open.

 

Reset the power scheme to default, that should do the trick. It worked for me on 3 different machines that had exactly the same issue.

 

damn just like that bro it went away. Thanks

 

I know it's almost magical right ^^ enjoy the laptop!

 

Btw, reinstalling windows is what triggered this issue for me on my gt72vr and my bf's 10 year old pc. And clearly this guy's lappy too! Completely unrelated systems aside from sharing common culprit - new windows 10 installation. On the gt72vr it actually happened twice - on clean windows install AND after reverting to factory settings. It seems sometimes the power schemes get corrupted on fresh install or restore and resetting all offending power schemes to default is the only solution (took me a few hours to figure it out last year).
Also, the real cpu usage isn't actually 100% but it will keep the cpu in a very active state, causing higher idle temp as well. It's just a bug ^^ for me at idle the highest usage was system, if firefox was opened, then it immediatelly switched to firefox etc. Nothing to do with any of the involved programs.

 

Ha - yesterday I got my old GT70 (8.1) to go to 100% (or at least 97% ) state - this time it was Adblock plus crashing on IE 11 so it was easy to fix. But are the latest Windows updates causing these oddball situations - who knows; never happened before... Yes, CPU did go towards 90°C

 

That sounds like a crappy situation, glad you got that sorted out. Anyway, yeah windows 10 updates bring up the worst in crappy software. I noticed that when software is decent and not integrated into windows directly, there are usually no issues at all. For example when you look at the support page for my old asus, the drivers go up to year 2012-2013. In fact, all but one of those drivers still work - and that is the realtek audio which got massively screwed by one of the previous windows 10 updates.
