I formatted a pc i bought from a friend and it started acting very weird. The pc in question is very familiar since i upgraded it for him a few years back.

The main problem is that since the format all the games are lagging and the CPU usage gets stuck on 100% after running any game. Now this shouldn't be happening since ive run the same games before formatting and they ran fine. Also im running the same operating system that i had before restart (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit).

Very unlikely that this is a overheating issue since i played BF4 two days ago before formatting and now it wont run.

I dont have proper system specs at the moment since im away from home but ill do my best from memory

This build is based on a quite rare HP-Pavilion that was only sold in UK and parts of Scandinavia.
GPU: Geforce GTX760
CPU: Intel I5 25320
Harddrive: (Seagate i think) 1TB
RAM: one 2GB and one 4GB stick.
Power Supply: Corsair 1100W
Motherboard: Foxconn (I don't know the model)

No, I can check in a while, all i remember at the moment is that the base clock frequency is 3.0Ghz

Ok, well i checked the HDD and the same thing happened with my friends HDD.

The CPU problem is partially fixed, it doesnt run at 100% anymore, it only does that after i run a game and it peaks. Also it wont let me install some of the windows updates. Some of the optional updates seem to be intel's as well so that might cause some problems?
