[Solved] Acer VX 15 Laptop: 100% CPU Usage While Playing Hearthstone & Using Opera Browser

Hello.
I have a new Acer VX 15 laptop for several days. Components:

Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-7300HQ - 4 cores
GTX 1050 4GB
8GB RAM
Windiws 10
1TB disk
-I use windows defender (I got rid of Norton)

When playing in Hearthstone and the open browser Opera with Twitch (I play and watch / listen) processor usage once is 60-70% and lasts a moment, then jumps to 100% and so stays a few minutes, then drops to 80% and returns in a moment down 95-100% - this is how it lasts most of the time



I do not want to believe that the browser and so old / poor game are able to use 100% Prock processor. Especially that when playing CS: GO I have 100-170 FPS using 60-70% Prock processor. EDIT: Although I don't know if playing Procek the processor does not jump higher. I can't exclude fps drops either.

As for temperatures, they are great (low). After playing for one hour in CS Procek the processor reaches ~ max 70 degrees C. During HS +, the browser also does not heat up.

Can you help me with these spikes in CPU usage and general high usage?

Disable the automatic update service and check if something changes: services.msc, windows update, ppm -> stop.

@Killlu nothing will change, you can see what is burdensome. There is no WU there.

@ sztylet077 does the load somehow affect the operation of the system / game?

@Kolobos when Procek 99-100% processor work is probably obvious that the game and the system is slower.

I noticed one thing, namely when I drop the game on the bar, the fps drop to 0 and when I click the icon to maximize it they return from 0 to 140. Is this normal and does it happen in every game?

Post screen from HWinfo in sensors only mode after 20 min. OCCT:

What does this app cause in this mode? Does the processor load something like a benchmark?
How exactly to fire it?

In addition, I am very interested in visit at:

Playing CS: GO and dumping the game on the bar, the CPU load due to the game is 2-3%

Maybe something is set that minimization causes a huge decrease in performance?

Depends on the card. Will I get a stress test result?

How to use this program? I downloaded, installed, launched, time has arrived, 20 minutes have passed, and what next? I gave it to save and leave and nothing happened. Do I have something more to click there?

Oh! That's what you meant ?
I had all programs shut down.

And the rest of the table?
Provide SMART disk.

Should I move down and do some screenshots? (I have to turn it on again and wait 20 minutes)
I also have a LOG saved, it won't do anything?

When I play Hearthstone and Opera with Twitch is minimized, CPU usage is normal, i.e. ~ 60%, but when Opera is not minimized and I will switch between the game and Opera / Watch Twitch every now and then the processor works at max, i.e. 95-100%.

This FPS drop from +100 to 0 while minimizing is normal and sudden increase from 0 to +100 when maximizing? Should the game not occupy the given amount of processor all the time?

I know this is just a typo, but still!
100% CPU usage means the same as 100% Grandma's usage ?!
Such an old browser as the outdated Opera also uses plugins. Plugins generally update. Plugs like electricity.
Dear friend - something for something.

Opera or Chrome without any plugins (clean downloaded) is the same.

Strangely, as I wrote, when I throw it on the belt, wear suddenly decreases. As if hibernating but still working (music flies in the background).
Dropping on the CS: GO bar causes the game to take 2% of the processor !!!! how it's possible ?
Maybe I have some weird option enabled?

Theoretically, this is how it should work. Background programs are less resource-consuming. Therefore, all programs present on this small bar load the System differently. Setting the mouse pointer on any - will activate: "boot" the processor.
"Since the user has pointed to this object, he will probably want to start it in a moment. Don't be nervous, I'm smarter than him, that's why I will run this program now." Similarly, the "instantaneous" memory in the hard disk works.

So, as you can see, the 4 core processor can't handle using Opera and the old game at the same time.

Is the%% maximum frequency normal despite the low CPU usage?

When I set high efficiency in the power options, this% is still over 100. When I set the balanced mode,% of the maximum frequency jumps once 40% so that it is 120% in a moment and jumps all the time.

Don't be misled by the resource monitor. The screen shows a real load of 35%, and the program reports proportions frequency - as can be seen in the mode of its saving - up to the maximum frequency he noted, that's why rubbish comes out.
