[RESOLVED] Cpu usage over 200% on fresh installation of arch

Have you tried/confirmed whether it's that issue at all (ie. tested the 6.6.14 kernel)?

I don't really know how to install previous kernels, so no. But I guess that will work because my computer was fine before that update (or some older kernel), so probably 6.6.14 kernel worked fine on my machine. I have tried to install all other kernels (zen/lts) and they all seem to fail. I have tried all kernel options suggested here with no effect. Hopefully this gets randomly resolved some day otherwise I'm just going to manjaro

For the kernel, unlike pretty much every other package, it's mostly safe to download it in isolation. But you'll need matching header and OOT (nvidia, virtualbox,…) modules - or their dkms variant.

6.6.1 kernel is on Manjaro now. My computer broke in the same way, same acpi errors. Now I cannot use Manjaro either

If 6.6.1 doesn't work for you (though manjaro is only mildly translatable) you're less likely to face https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293140 though it's supposed to be fixed in 6.8 - have you tried that kernel iteration (default on arch)?

I tried re installing arch to check. Now not even the installer works. I downloaded the latest iso and I get ACPI errors before even installing anything, I cannot access the iso.

I installed arch with an old iso and the problem seems to be gone!

I think the new iso might have a previous kernel or something because I cannot make it work, but the new 6.8 kernel solves everything. Thanks!

In case, please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
