Question / Help 100% CPU Usage I5-9600K Opening OBS

[Nathan Bauer]

Hi All,

I recently built a secondary streaming pc. It has an z370 board and an i5-9600k.Utilizing onboard graphics...Problem I'm having right now is that I'm getting 100% CPU usage from opening OBS. I'm not even recording or streaming....not sure what the cause could be. So, I'm here in hopes of help. Here is my most recent log file.

What is the onboard graphics in this machine?

22:33:47.845: Available Video Adapters:

You are missing the Intel Graphics drivers, OBS is launching on the Basic VGA drivers that come with Windows

In case you are connecting via rdp (Remote Desktop Connection) to your streaming PC, you don't have access to the real GPU hardware within a rdp session. You get a virtualized rdp GPU instead.
To remotely control your streaming PC, use a different remote control software such as vnc. Vnc is only transferring the plain picture data and doesn't mess with virtualized devices. Tightvnc is a freeware version of vnc.

Connect your monitor to your actual GPU.

So @DEDRICK's input about the drivers was correct. However, I still get very high cpu usage. Could this be a result of not having a graphics card? Also, any recommended settings for a two pc setup with an Elgato HD60?

@koala I am not using rdp, but thanks.
