100% CPU usage during games.
Hi there,
I am currently experiencing some issues with my computer at the moment, I'm sick right now so I am just wanting to gather some information before I tackle anything,
Recently I have been trying to play Fallout 4, Battlefront and CoD Blackops 3, I was getting some real bad stutter, freezing I thought maybe it was my graphics card drivers, alas it was not so I was looking into my CPU usage in the task manager and all 4 cores were 100% completely locking my computer up. My cpu idle temp is 25 and then when playing games it's over 70, So all together I have stopped playing games to prevent any further damage potentially. It has never happened before with previous titles just been getting some real nasty fight with these 3.
Could it also be AMD graphics drivers causing problems, as I have read that most people with AMD cards are having issues with some of those titles.
Specs:
i5-4690k
R9 390 8GB
16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
120 ADATA SDD
2TB Seagate HDD
700Watt Power supply.
Any insight into this problem would be great, all I can think off the top of my head is checking to see if the cooler is still on properly or if the thermal grease needs replacing, However like I said I was never having any issues prior.
Thank you all!
