    My CPU usage is abnormal


    Hello, I've been playing on my pc and on all games I've encountered lag issues. When I checked the performance my CPU was at 100%. So I checked to see what was causing it but there was only 25% of the CPU actually in use.
    What's happening?!
    specs: Nvidia 760 2gb
    Intel 3.2 Ghz quad core
    8 gb ram
    1650x1080 p resolution

    What do you see that shows "CPU was at 100%", and "25% of the CPU actually in use" ?

    I do believe that doing this tutorial by Brink would also be helpful to DavidE.
    We need to see your system specs in the proper fashion and place.

    So basically what the perfomance tab shows me is that 100% of the CPU is in usage. But when I check the running aplications and do the math it should be only 25%.
    here you go:
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
    motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H77M-D3H
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
    Sound card: (1) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (2) VIA High Definition Audio (3) NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
    memory: 8gb
    HDD: WDC WD5000AAKX-00ERMA0 ATA Device

    Have you looked at the Processes tab, and checked Show processes from all users ?

    I don't know, I'm not a gamer
    I'll ask for more help here, or you could look in the Minecraft forum if they have one.

    That may be a driver issue. Run this program and if you have a lot of red bars, it is most likely a driver problem.
