Afternoon,

I'm currently attempting to play watch dogs its playable for around 10minutes but then my CPU goes so high it lags the game out and I have to close it and restart my computer. It happens on a couple of games such as War Thunder and Battlefield 4. My CPU is a AMD FX 8320 3.8 - 8 Core. Its been fine until a few months ago I thought it was windows 8.1 but I simply don't know.

Few other specs:
GPU : 270x 4GB
RAM: 16gb
HDD: 500GB
HDD 2: 1TB
OS: Windows 8.1
