proc goes to 55% usage, help
ok, my computer has been up and running smoothly for quite some time now..
quick question, though. Generally, it runs at less than 10% processor usage if surfing, chatting, watching movies, etc. Halo brings it up to about 55-60%. Sometimes, during a game of halo, everythign will be choppy and i'll look at the proc usage is up to 95-100%, not good. So i shut the game down adn close all programs and the processor useage is still at 55-60% with the system idle process showing 60-90 CPU on hte processes tab and everything else showing 00
winxp pro, 2.8ghz HT P4, 512MB 3200 ram, 80GB hd, abit is7 mobo.
Any ideas of what is going on. I can even log off and log back on and still have 55-60% useage. I have to totally restart the computer to bring it back down.
