Hey all

so my comp is this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J4KYIBE/ref=oh_de...

but for some reason when i play world of warcraft the cpu useage goes really high up to about 90% even 100% somtimes,

anyone know why? is it purly down to my cpu not being good enough? or somthing else

i can run world of warcraft fine on ultra setting about 30fps

Why are you bothered about CPU usage going high? This means the game is well written ie it takes full advantage of all your CPU speed and cores....

... ah, well that's not good.... is it a new system, or have you had it a while and it just started doing this?

You've done the usual checks - antivirus, antimalware, with reputable software like BitDefneder, Malwarebytes.... what are your temps like? Are you overclocking? What's your case cooling like?

Do you get the crashing randomly, or only when gaming?

What is the PSU?

your cpu isnt the strongest but it shouldnt matter for a game like WoW, are their any other malicious or non malicious programs running in the background look at task manager.

well i bought it brand new about 3 weeks ago ( see the link in my original post for my comp ) ,

yup done all the scans, nothing coming up

temp when gaming is about 60degress

nope not overclocking, i know what that is but idk how to do it :p 

and its only the game that crashes, just randomly freezes for a few seconds, somtimes comes back, or somtimes the game will just be not responding

so my cpu useage being at 100% a good thing?

Seems like your CPU isn't powerful enough to run WOW perfectly. Are you sure their nothing in the background that could be using a lot of your CPU?

If the PC is only three weeks old it would be worth contacting the system builder for their comment...
