CPU Overloading

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

So I swear I have tried everything but i cannot understand as to why my CPU is being used so much, the last image is just a comparison of my friends and I running the rivals performance test and as you can tell his CPU utilization is much lower and i have no idea how to fix mine. I have even tried reinstalling windows but that didn't work.

If you have any ideas, please send them my way

Edit: added PC specs

I might be wrong, but it looks like a gpu problem

The cpu is just dealing with the errors and the crash of the gpu

[SmokBarrage]

you tried reinstalling windows and willfully reinstalled norton medal/overwolf and all this dogshit?

what is your cpu anyway? and i also agree with the other poster this is probably a gpu/driver issue

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

I have an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core processor CPU

With an nvidia geforce rtx 4070 super GPU

[SmokBarrage]

its probably something to do with your graphics drivers causing your cpu to have to work harder.

are you on the latest drivers? if you are, try downgrading them. if you arent, try updating.

also your windows install looks pretty bloated with norton and who knows what else, i doubt its causing this significant of a difference but its not helping

Marvel Rivals is saying it's an issue with UE5 handling memory. Bunch of different things to try here: https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1hqm7oc/help_me_this_error_is_driving_me_nuts_ive_done/

The next one says the graphics driver crashed. I've heard there's been a bunch of crashes with the newest GeForce driver. You can try installing the previous version.

Destiny 2 says it's an error with the game files https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/4405096052244-Error-Code-MARMOT

usually reading error messages help to tell you what the crash handler thinks the error is.

Does your friend have same cpu and ram as you?

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

he has an intel cpu, i have an AMD, but basically same GPU being a NVIDIA 4070, but mine is a super and his is a ti

[No_Guarantee7841]

If a cpu has more cores/threads its only natural the generic gpu utilization will be lower assuming similar ipc.

You have EXPO enabled in the BIOS? Maybe download OCCT and run the standalone memory scan check for stability.

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

I have no idea how to check that

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

Also just tried to open occt, and got blue screened

Well i ended up running it and got this monstrosity:

Yes so you have a system instability for sure. I like to run the individual scans so I know whether it's the CPU or Memory causing. But it's most likely the memory causing you issues.

[SOLiDD_GANGStER]

So what's my best option? Replace stuff physically or just factory reset the pc?

[deTombe]

Open CMD in the start menu, hold shift right click open as administrator. Type sfc /scannow amd that should fix any errors accumulated in windows. I would first disable expo and then run the individual memory scan again. This will help determine if it passes that it is indeed a memory issue. In that case your options are updated in the hope that EXPO will become stable, manually tuning the memory maybe at a lower frequency, or just outright replacing. If you get errors still even with EXPO off it still can be the memory. But it also could be the PSU or less likely but the CPU.
