Hi all, I've been having trouble with my PC for the last month or so, been having major FPS problems and CPU usage is 100% while running games. Is this just a case of getting a new CPU, or is the problem lying deeper?

If it would help, I can post my DXDiag information. Any help is most appreciated!

Those speeds, as you say, are absolutely fine. The easiest way to check for malicious programs is to simply run an anti-virus scan. If you don't have anti-virus, first of all you're making a big mistake, and secondly, download a free one from Avast! or AVG. You can look at the hidden "temp" folder within your local profile but this can be a long and tedious process, particularly if you can't tell the good from the bad.

It has never happened up until about a month ago. I didn't download any suspicious programs. It's just started lagging. I mainly play WoW, LoL, D3. LoL is unbearable, as is D3, I can still play WoW though, with lowest settings.

I close everything in the background to try and free up CPU to speed it up, it doesn't work in the slightest though. So, it's just a case of a new CPU?

You shouldn't have any problems playing those games on that spec. If anything, the graphics card is slightly lacking, but nowhere to the point where is game is unplayable. As these games all share a common factor in requiring an Internet connection, how is your connection performing? You may want to go to www.speedtest.net and check your download and upload speeds.

My suspicion is that your Internet connection is sub-par or there's a malicious background process running.

My internet has been on the same plan for the past 3 years and these games were fine to play during that time, I just done a SpeedTest and my Down speed is 13Mb/s and my up is 1Mb/s. That's high end for the internet around my area. If I do have a malicious process, how would I go about getting rid of it?
