Hey all, so I just recently built myself a gaming computer without much computer knowledge to start out with. I did a good bit of research into what I wanted and decided to go with...
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3
Processor- Intel Pentium Processor G4500 Dual core
Graphics- EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB
RAM- Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
And from what I understand, from talking to other more knowledgeable people, this is not a bad setup. My only problem right now is that whenever I try to run a game, my CPU reads the games are taking up about 70%-90% of my processor. I usually play either Dark Souls 3, which crashes a lot or Warframe, which if I have anything up in the background slows my game to a leggy crawl.
I've tried a few simple tricks like reinstalling Dark Souls a couple times, and restarting my computer a few times. I have also tried installing the previous versing of my graphics drivers, deleted my current drivers and reinstalling them, and even having the reinstall run a clean install (all with computer restarts), but still the problem continues.
Any help would be appreciated, I have been tearing my hear out on this problem for a few days now. Thank you.
