Troubleshooting High Power Consumption: Unveiling the Hidden CPU Issue Causing System Instability

That is taking 65 Watts of power or more. You have this problem? Yeah. And it may not have exhibited any issues on your machine yet. Yet, but you have it. And the longer that you operate that CPU, the worse it gets. Now, if you’d like to understand what this looks like, my machine was having driver failures, and I was like, that’s really, god, weird. It had. Was exhibiting driver fail all the time, and it was a GPU driver failure. And I was like, what is going on? So what did I do? I looked into all of it, and I was like, man, this looks like my GPU is dying. It is kind of old, so I’m gonna buy a new GPU. And then you know what? I got more GPU driver failures. And I was like, well, that’s not good. Maybe it’s the motherboard. So I got a new motherboard thinking it could be that. And you know what? I got more GPU driver failures. Because when the CPU is having this problem, it exhibits as other issues on your system at random, so you don’t know what’s going wrong. It’s awful, dude.
