    CPU Goes to 100 % when playing any game?

    Hi Jessica,

    There can be many causes for High CPU usage. However, before I can give you troubleshooting steps, I'd like to know more information about this issue. Please answer these questions below:

    • When did the issue start to happen?
    • What is the current build and version of your Windows 10 device? This
      article       can help you get this information.
    • Do you have third-party antivirus software installed on your device?
    • Can you give me an example of the games that you play?

    I'll be waiting for your updates.

    CPU Goes to 100 % when playing any game?

    Dear Support Community,

    Every time I try to play game on my Dell Inspiron 17 7737 the CPU elevates to 100% and my laptop gets very warm. The hardware that I have includes Nvidia GeForce 750 M graphics coupled with the Intel 4400, and i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Could someone
    please shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it?

    PS: This happens even with games that are supposed to be able to run on machines way below my specs.

    Thanks,

    Jessica

    Cpu goes to 100% when I play games

    CPU Goes to 100 % when playing any game?

    Name a couple of games. What frame rate are they averaging ?

    Is the 750m also pushing 100% .

    Laptops always run a bit hot while gaming, but have you monitored the cpu and gpu temps under gaming load ?

    Real Temp

    GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility (to select the highest temp click on the down arrow next to GPU Temp in the Sensors tab).

    - If not you may be using too low in game settings. This has been

    known to push processing onto the cpu rather than the gpu.
