cpu meter max's out during on-line games.help
 

I downloaded a new on-line game combat arms, the problems is when I start it up the CPU meter on vista, the small gauge goes up to 100% and I can hear my fan kicking in, but the bigger cpu meter only sits at about 45%. I have 5200+ AMD 64*2 Dual Core processor, so I dont get why its doing this?

The game ends up freezing as soon as I get shot and I have to exit out of it, but when I exit the game my cpu goes down to like 5%.

Any help/links at all would be great....

how much ram do you have?

How is it that you can see the CPU meter in-game... is it running full-screen or windowed?

Ram = 2815 MB

I can see the cpu if i minimize the game. I tried that forum but no luck so far, not alot of people on it...

THanks...

Hmm what is your video card? cause your processor and ram are up to par for most any game on the market

ati radeon, ya I searched this a little more and somepeople say its normal,The only thing I learned is Ican go to task manager and shut certain things down to use less of my CPU (even though I hadnothing else running) and maybe don't play at full resolution. Other then that I'm still searching...but it seems a few people had/have the same problem, but never really any solid answers.
