Hi. My processor started blowing like hell in last days but i didn't install any thing new, nvda resource monitor sais it is only 20 percent processor in usage. How can i deteckt what uses most processor percentage? Or how can i deteckt if my computer fans are broken? Because it isn't like the pc is hot, in fackt it's pritty cold.

Windows has some info about that kind of thing, but I don't know how extensive it is. You might want to do a memory test to see if there are any issues there.

The proper way to spell detect is this way by the way.

The windows 7 task manager has the ability to sort by cpu load, not sure about windows 10. In win7 at least,you open task manager, and there's a header colum thing just like in Windows Explorer that has name, user, cpu, memory, and a few other things, and if you press enter on cpu it wil sort the processes that way. Just make sure you're on the processes tab for this to work, with symply tasks, it doesn't work, from what I remember. If you are running windows 10, there's a way to install the win7 task manager onto the computer, but i',m not sure where it is.

The Win 10 task manager has all that as well under the performance tab. I didn't see anything when I pressed the CPU button but the resource monitor tab showed all sorts of things using the CPU and their percentages. It even showed things that are suspended and not using CPU.
