5900x mysteriously malfunctioning

Hello guys, this is my 2nd post in this community (previously posted about heating issues)

  • My specs:
    • Ryzen 9 5900x 
    • MSI tomahawk x570 wifi
    • 32 gb gskill trident ram
    • cooler master ML240 v2 rgb 
    • samsung SSD evo plus 1 tb
    • Hard disk 2tb
    • deep cooler 750w psu
  • Problem:

I initially suspected that the fault was in my liquid cooler since it has been used for 4 long years (After the feedback from this community for heating issues (65 C - 75 C) at small tasks like YouTube surfing). Now I think it wasn't my cooler and don't know the real cause of my issue. The CPU spikes to 100% constantly even at idle, which raises the temperature while I checked in the task manager. Can anyone here help me solve this issue? I'm using Win 11 and not much of a technical guy who knows about BIOS settings. Can anybody guide me?

most of them in the task manager show winhost provider and the utilization is from different sources and they are changing rapidly, The only thing I could see frequently was win host provider. do you have any idea how to solve them?

You may consider the system to be "idle" because you are not actively or knowingly using any applications, however CPU utilization hitting 100% clearly indicates that process(es) are running that you're not aware of, and it is most certainly not idle - idle means doing nothing as in 0-1% utilization.

How to find out what that process(es) are?

Windows Task Manager, Processes, click on the CPU column to sort by utilization, highest first. Make sure to run this as administrator. Also look at the Startup tab, anything launching on boot that you don't recognize?

It could be anti-virus/security software run amok, or you may have some malware you're not aware of.

If all else fails you can always back up your data, then wipe and reinstall the OS.

Check if Windows is in "alright" condition. Maybe you have some bloatware that is causing the problems?

In the terminal/console:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

 

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

sfc /scannow

 Run them one after another. Google them to check what they do, don't run commands you don't know what they do.

 

Lastly check for malware and other possible viruses.
