i think the CPU usage is an after effect If you notice, you can't access the tty's either....
you can stop it in a normal session with this command sudo plymouth --quit
you can also, deactivate the splash option in grub
edit /etc/default/grub change this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" save and run sudo update-grub
this is the best answer IMO, although I wonder if it has to do something with systemd. Are you using systemd and can you try without.
