Recently I've been having some performance issues when in games and just generally using my computer. In task manager it says the CPU is being used under CPU usage, however, it's as if my CPU isn't actually doing anything. It's like it doesn't want to use more than maybe 10 percent of its total processing power, which makes sense considering that it seems to have a very low temperature increase despite the load being put on it.
I was just playing Torchlight 2, and when I first enter the game, I receive only 20-40 fps, and then after a minute or two, the fps increases to its typical 60 (vsync on) and remains that way until there's a loading screen or I bring up part of the interface, at which point it will drop back down to 20-40, and after a minute or so, it will bounce back up to 60. Also, I was just playing Sims 3, and from what I remember when playing it in the past, my temps would increase a fair amount because the CPU was under a load and was actually working properly, however, the temperature hardly increased, despite ~50 percent usage reported in task manager, and as a result I was receiving stuttering and choppy performance, as well as a framerate around 30-40.
Just tested it in BFBC2 and had absolutely no problems. Framerate was fine, temperatures increased with high load as expected, nothing wrong at all.
I'm quite certain this isn't any limitation of my graphics card, CPU, or RAM. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here? I tried restarting my computer hoping it was just a random error, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated!
