100% usage/games freeze

Lately, my CPU has been running at 100% usage all the time. Whenever I try to play Source or any other game the game just freezes about one minute into it. ANy ideas?
 
sounds like a virus/malware to me, a format and reinstall would be a good option but a spyware and virus scan would be helpful to start with.
 
Nevermind, it was just the folding@home program. I just uninstalled it and it's ok now. Thanks for the input. I am overdue for a virus/spyware scan though....
 
folding @ home should be set on a lower priority by default so games get cpu resources first... if its not you can change the process priorities in task manager.
