Troubleshooting • Re: Pi5 Completely (permanent) locks up when CPU reaches 100%

It's weird that htop doesn't match the CPU usage from activity monitor.
Your GUI screenshot says 100% at the top, but then the tasks are sorted by CPU%, and they are all zero. Maybe the top number includes iowait time as "usage", and that is not allocated to any particular task.

Meanwhile, htop draws colored graphs but it is unclear what the colors mean or what states are included. You would be better to run classic top, which tells you all the CPU states, as reported by the kernel:

Code:

%Cpu(s):  0.1 us,  0.2 sy,  0.0 ni, 99.7 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st
Your load average is pushing 46, which does suggest that there may be many more tasks in D state that are not even appearing on screen because they cannot get any CPU time at all.

Try starting a dmesg --follow over SSH too. They should be some kernel messages when the problem occurs.
