Why are my CPU Usage always so high when playing games if anyone got some reason pls post im open to anything and everything :D . it is only high when i am playing a game. and i dont think that should be using 100% of the cpu.

for starters there is no virus/spyware/adware(ran like 3 dif spyware programs and serveral virus ones and adware ones)-i turned off everything accept nortan - and one other needed thing for the computer to run. I defraged my computer deleted temp internet files cookies etc.

the processer i am using is a

Amd Athlon Xp 3200 - BARTON - 2.2Ghz

(sry if this is not in right section the reason i posted here was because it only happens while in games)

Can you check for running processes without the game running? See if there is a process that is taking up a lot of CPU. It may be some other program using up so much CPU, and the game adds to make it to 100%.
