Computer specs listed below. CPU was running 100% on Windows 10 no matter what I updated or advice columns I followed it ran at 100%. When booting up in safe mode it would act normal. At one point I started getting an error screen saying "Oops Something Went Wrong" until the computer just would not boot without showing this screen. So I decided to get a new hardrive and new copy of Windows 10 thinking that would resolve the issue. During installation the issue happened again. I then removed the video card installed a new unused video card, replaced the battery on the motherboard and it happened again but not as fast. I was able to complete the windows installation at that point.


Now that the new Windows 10 is installed on a brand new SSD with a brand new video card the CPU is still running at 100%. What should I do now?
