Well that's... vague.

What are you doing while the CPU is at this level? What programs have you got running in the background? What are your system specs?

background ive got nothing running and i got it reduced by 10%
still 62%
here the pc

Your processor is a piece of crap. That's why it's maxing out.

Bring up Task Manager, click on the "Processes" tab, click on the word "CPU" at the top of the CPU column - what are the processes using the CPU the most?
Can you post a screenshot. Normally System Idle should be between 85-95%..
