Hello @zeeshanhaider1
Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... and I would like to help you.
(1) Test your hardware Using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI | 7.6.0.0 Rev.A | 42.7 MB | Apr 17, 2020 | Download |
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04499777

These are the only updates HP provides. And no, you can't use the latest graphics drivers from the graphics card manufacturer on HP devices! I want to make sure that the software and drivers or components of them are not damaged. If you have other ideas, feel free to continue yourself.

(1) I see Discord (32 bit) and Gameloop (32 Bit), please uninstall and use the 64-bit variant.
(2) Use CCleaner to get rid of your temporary Windows "junk".

(3) Reboot and test again ...

Since this wasn't brought up in this discussion between you and @ub6424, your OMEN By HP 875-1000 Obelisk Desktop PC can handle up to 128 GB of RAM.
Now, I am not suggesting that you need that much RAM -even for serious gaming. But in my experience, increasing your RAM to 32 GB (preferably 4 x 8GB of DDR4 PC4-21300 2666 MHz) would most certainly help. According to the information you provided, you are still stuck with the original 'standard fitted' 16 GB RAM.
Honestly, in my opinion, there is no good reason on this good Earth -at least that I can imagine, why a mighty Intel i7-9700K can be pushed to 100% CPU usage whilst obs settings are on very low quality for stream, so the bottleneck issues you are facing got to be found elsewhere.
In my opinion: increase your RAM.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,

hi
so everything recommended to you here @zeeshanhaider1 is useless; was not ?
(do you change acompte @zeeshanhaider ? )
Until now, I had not intervened, because uncertain
According to your configuration, it should work, but it is clear that you are using a lot of applications at the same time!
You should try to disable some, use less
but I had done a search, only my links were in French, that said, check
because for some of your software they explain, how to solve certain problems, modify the configurations / parameters!
depending, it might ease your worries
using the nvidia driver, which is much newer than hp's may help sometimes, but not always
try both versions if possible
geforce game ready driver and studio driver
check your software help
https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues
I don't know if open all the time if needed, but we see here, nothing but chrome (21) 13.3% utilization
i currently have firefox (22) open with only 1%, max 5% cpu
was this reply helpful , or just say thank you ? Click on the yes button

@zeeshanhaider (@zeeshanhaider1),
Yes, I am aware that opinions are split on CPU/RAM interdependencies.
And every PC is different. I would be very reluctant to compare your friend's PC which is fitted with different electronic components with yours.
From my own admittedly anecdotal experiences, is that insufficient RAM can cause memory starvation to the point that the system is paging in and out so much data that disk input and output times dominate over everything else -hence your CPU being pushed to 100%.
Fact is that adding more RAM can reduce CPU load, which allows your desktop to store more application data. This reduces the frequency of internal data transfers and new memory allocations, which can give your CPU a much-needed break.
Do with my observation whatever you like with it.
Kind Regards,
