CPU usage at 100% while gaming

Hello,
When I play Minecraft (regardless of the version, with or without shaders) my processor is used at 100% while my Graphics Card is at 20%-30%:


Everything is being used by Open JDK (Minecraft 1.19.2 in the screenshot below)

I updated the chipset and drivers for my GPU but nothing changes, I restarted my PC and nothing changes. I want to point out that in-game the FPS is not stable even without movement and I am getting around 40-80 FPS which doesn't make sense for an RTX 3060...
If anyone has an idea why my processor is being used so much, I would like to know!
Thank you in advance, Axlenoon

Hello,
Check by right-clicking on the .exe → "run with high-performance graphics processor" or via the Nvidia control panel, that Minecraft is indeed using your GPU.
Best regards.
Hello,
This is another account but I would like to add some clarifications:
I have had this processor for 5 years and it has now been a week since I have been experiencing blue screens, slowdowns, and drops in FPS not only on Minecraft. I'm just wondering if my processor might be nearing the end of its life.
I also had a file recovery recently...
Thank you in advance.
Hello Axlenoon
First, perform a system repair using the command line
In the Windows search (the magnifying glass), type cmd and run it as Administrator
