cpu usage 100% !?

Question

When im playing a game (warcraft) Windows Task manager tells me that my cpu usage is 100%, after a few minutes of playing my game the computer crashes. WHATS GOING ON !?!?

Answer 1

Sounds like you nee to ugrade your RAM

Answer 2

Yeah, its Physical RAM. A stick, DDR 750 might fit in your box, or even a 1g. If you know how to work on Hardware it is easy, if PC is still under warranty, get a Factory Approved Memory stick. My box was lagging bad on a game, I added 2 750mhz Sticks, the maximum allowed for that Mobo, and whizz bang! zippy fast.
Also shut down any and all uneeded programs, thats like everything BUT the game, but carefull there, one mistake and Kapow! hard crash.
I aint sure of the URL but Viper has a pretty straightforward setup for WinXP and games.
Just add some PRam, Increase the size of the Page File, place Page File on a Sector or HDD that does not have Program files on it, and have fun.
Google viper, or look at G4, Gamespy or Warcraft site, is prolly a link there.

try to keep track of how many programs runnin in the back ground and close all those u dont need while playin the game.....
hopefully it will run better

btw check the system requirements for the game and compare them to what ur system has..... ull find system requirements file within game folder and if not then visit official warcraft site....
and for ur system well just go to control panel and then check under system ull find what ur pc is made of....

hope this helps
