Games crash when CPU usage (Task Manager) hits 100%

CPU
Intel Core i5 @ 2.90GHz 41 °C

Thanks in advance for any answers

Can you please monitor and provide the temperatures of both your GPU and CPU while gaming?

meezieboy · Dec 27, 2014

My CPU is around 60 degrees Celsius while gaming and my Graphics card around 50 degrees Celsius.
These stats were taking while playing FIFA 15

Was it slow while you're playing on those temps? Also, do you mind playing for at least 10 minutes and letting me know what the temps then are? Run a malware check and see if that helps before you do that.

I ran 3 scans from 3 different softwares (Good ones) and fifa is not one of the heaviest games so i didn't lag at all.
I'll play some games for a minute or 10 and then i'll post the temps here (taken from Speccy)

Okay after playing FIFA 15 for 20 minutes my CPU was 63 degrees Celsius and my GPU was 46 degrees Celsius

No idea, then, to be honest. I'll think about it but right now I don't know what's wrong, nothing out of my experience.

Can it be that my CPU is too weak to play heavy games like Battlefield 4?

Yous · Dec 27, 2014

Okay, does it happen as soon as you enter the game or after a while? Also, what settings is your game running on?

meezieboy · Dec 27, 2014

Most of the time Battlefield 4 crashes as soon as the level is loaded and I'm in the 'deploy' screen. I'm running it on medium-low settings, but i can't change that because the game crashes before i can hit a single button or key.

EDIT: This happens when i start online (CPU usage 100% i mean), when i play Test Range (offline practice) it doesn't crash so maybe it has something to do with that, or EA and the recent DDos attacks from Lizard Squad(the hackers that also hacked PSN and XBOX LIVE)

Does it only happen in BF4? If so, right click the game on origin and 'Repair Game'. It may or may not fix your problem. If it only happens in one game then it's very likely game related.
