My basic computer specs are:
2G memory
2.0 gHz duo intel core, i think its a T7300 (or T7400)
8400 GeForce graphics card
I play on a laptop and when i play World Of Warcraft it will bring my CPU usage to about 80-90% with no other programs open. While in game when I get around large groups of players in combat my FPS in game will go from 20-25 to about 1-3. My CPU usage will be at about 100% at this point.
Ive Tried to:
Upgrade my memory to 4G, did NOTHING at all.
I got a professional virus/spyware scan and nothing came up.
I've closed/deleted many background programs and cleaned up my computer twice and saw next to no difference in performance.
My computer processes doesn't show anything huge running in the background that I can see.
I was told the only way to figure out whats using up all my Usage is doing a HD wipe which is my last option.
My laptop use to run flawlessly but obviously time takes it toll on things. I've had this laptop for 3-4 years now and the last month this has happend, I'm not sure whats wrong.
Im not sure what to do besides do a HD wipe? Any ideas?
Thanks
