Hi Raj,
How are you telling that the CPU is getting very hot?
Becuase CPU does so much work and is so small that it gets heated. Its the hotest part in the Computer thats the reason why it has a separate heat sink and a fan to cool it.
If your system doent hang and works fine then you need not worry about you CPU Temperature going High.
I am assuming that you are using Intel onboard graphics that might be one of the reason for 100% CPU Usage.
Intel uses CPU for GPU work.
If you buy a decent Graphic card the load on the processor would decrease a lot.
You can always set Priority to any exe that is running on your PC.
Just press CTRL+ALT+DEL. Select Task Manager and go to Process.
Select the process that is the game, right click and you can set priority to normal, below normal or low if you want less CPU for that program.
If you need further clarifications please get back to me.

no no no dont listen to that guy....!!!! you need more RAM you can buy sticks from places like best buy....your computer is running at 100% because it needs more memory (RAM) to run the game. If you PC is getting to hot then you should buy a computer fan they are like 5.00 and help alot. Newegg.com has lots of cheap computer supplies. Hope i helped :)

How much memory is on your graphics card, if you don't have enough, some games, will use main memory, if video memory is insufficient.

well whenever a scpu gets under heavy load it will get hotter. As long as your pc isn't crashing you are fine.
