uh sometimes when i play a game it works normaly, then after like 30mins the comp goes to 99% usage. After i turn off the game it goes back to normal. After restart of game and 30min it happens again..The process was not the game but the System. What causing this.. dont wanna overheat it or something.

If the system "process" is at 99%, that means one or more of your computer's components are failing and the CPU is stalling to wait for response from that component.

Common example: copying files from slow SD cards.

Check if any of your parts are sensitive to heat.

Is it laggy while it says 99 percent usage? Because it could just be the System Idle Process messing with your head.

Yes the same thing happens to me but differently.
This happens to me when everyone of my neighbors on the line is on and
the whole thing is laggy.
Im hoping the problem will be solved when I install Verizon Fios on Friday.

well nothings laggy, game runs normally(didint try anything else) and im sure its the System process not the Idle one. Btw this only happens w/ that game. Also it happened w/ a cd protection when its checking the cd(other game).

If your CPU usage is consistently over 85%, you've got a bottleneck on your hands Confused

, Which would usually be a sign that you need a CPU upgrade.
