ntoskrnl.exe is using 100% of the CPU.
The system process ntoskrnl.exe continuously occupies 100% of the CPU, causing the system to freeze and overheat, seriously affecting normal use. What should I do?

High CPU usage by ntoskrnl.exe is typically caused by driver conflicts or hardware failures. Use verifier.exe to troubleshoot problematic drivers and update your motherboard/graphics card drivers to the latest versions.
