Starwars Battlefront II : Extremely high CPU Utilization

Hi there!
I'm not 100% sure if it is just me, but whenever I play Starwars Battlefront II off Epic Games//Origin Launcher, the CPU UTL kicks up to 93$%.

After launch of Starwars Battlefront II, it takes only 10-20 seconds for it to kick up to 95 and 96%. After that windows autoomatically restarts to save the CPU thus making the game practically unplayable. Other games run fine, so far Battlefront II is the only game that has posed this issue.

My specs are as follow;

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 Core processor

GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon 5700XT OC 8G Gaming

RAM: (2x  8GB) 16GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM

SSD: 1 TB SSD
HDD: 4 TB HDD

Motherboard: Asrock B550 Gaming 4 Motherboard

Thigns I have tried to resolve this issue;

- Reinstall game

- Reinstall all latest graphic and CPU drivers

    I have same CPU and on DX11, Ultra settings I have around 60% on CPU
    Maybe try to use DX11 instead of DX12 and trun off "Game mode" in windows.

    @Kik-1ooOkat, so I repaired Starwars and delected the Settings folder since it had nothing in the BootOptions file, after that I relaunched and checked the BootOptiuons and ProfileOptions_profile files.

    Both had DX12 disabled, but still it was hitting high 95% before restarting.

    When it did automatically restart, the BOOT and VGA lights went off for the motherboard checker. Oncer the system rebooted back to lock screen, lights went out.

    The lights only went on for the duratiuon of the restart.
