I have a problem where my CPU spikes to 100% while playing online games. When I check task manager there is no process that actually seems to spike. I have also tried a fresh windows install but this didn't fix the problem either. This only occurs while playing online games (starcraft II, league of legends), I tried offline games to see whether or not it had anything to do with the internet and I didn't get any cpu spikes at all playing offline games even though these games have higher performance requirements.
Having real problems playing online games particularly blizzard. They suggest I set my ports which I have done. Then say not their problem must be your provider which is Orange. Dread using the Orange help lines.
I have recently built my own computer and I have been getting a lot of blue screens playing online. Starcraft 2 and League of legends. I have tested my ram and done chkdsk.exe /f they came out clean. I have attached a few minidumps for reference.
get to the root of these BS's I have been experiencing. I have not changed anything on my PC recently except Anti virus updates from AVG, no new hardware etc. They mostly occur when I'm playing games. but also happen when browsing the web. System specs are as follows:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z68A-D3-B3 Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 Memory: 8GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

I've been getting a blue screen on my computer. When i run games like metro 2033, Crisis, Batman: Arkham City, the pc runs well and nothing happens. But when i try to play Metin2 e pc crashes.
I'm playing Battlefield 3, GTA 4 and saints row 3 ect.. and i have this problem in every game.
I'm always getting around the 40 and 70% cpu usage. and getting around the 60 and 80% gpu usage (sometimes in battlefield 60 and 95%)
I'm wondering why it is so low and why it peaks so low and at the parts where it peaks down im getting between the 30 and 50 fps while i really wan to stay above the 60 fps
here are my specs: Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU
When idle, my cpu usage is around 20%, which is allot more than it should be in my opinion. Whenever I start a game, Battlefield : Bad Company 2 which is the game I've been playing allot lately, my cpu usage doesnt come down from the 90's %. It just stays there and it often goes to 99% and stays there, once again. I've been running the game at a 20 fps average. When I could run games like far cry 2, cod mw , nfs shift and so on with settings on high with an average of 40 fps.
Whenever I go to a webpage and try to play games, view videos, or streaming content my system "freezes" every minute or two. I can never watch a video or play a game in its entirety without having to sit through numerous "freezes", or whatever it is. The little spinning icon just keeps going round and round.

I've played this game many times on this laptop without this error up till now. I've attached the mini dump file in this post but i did not attach the perfmon /report however because I would receive an error saying that the data collection has timed out.
On occasion my physical memory usage will quickly rise form between 1 to 2 gigs of memory usage to over four until it reaches 98-99% percent of memory usage. I am running on 5 gigs of ram. This problem has even occurred while the computer was essentially idle. When this happens the computer loses almost all functionality. I've tried ending all non-essential processes to alleviate this problem but it makes no difference.
Essentially I am getting seemingly random spikes in my cpu usage where it ramps up to 100% and windows basically freezes for an extended period of time. Sometimes I simply have 1 google chrome tab open with no other apps actively running in the foreground and I get these cpu spikes. I just did a clean install of windows 7 to try and eradicate this and it persists. I am at a loss as to what the problem is. What is odd is even though the cpu usage spikes at 100% my available memory is almost always nearly around 50% still. So I am just not sure what is happening.
(unfortunately to no avail) High CPU usage, programs crashing, windows hanging - Tech Support Forum
Anyway like I said I eventually just did a clean install but the problem persists. Since the clean install I have not noticed and flash problems with chrome (as per the tech support forum thread) just random cpu spikes.

Now to the actual problem. The reason I bought all this RAM was so that the computer would run faster and more smoothly. Despite the large amount of memory, however, I still experience frequent spikes in CPU Usage, which I have learned is not related to RAM very much if at all. Regardless, I would still assume that my system wouldn't have to overexert itself to run simple tasks like Windows Explorer (i.e., folders, desktop and taskbar) or the Task Manager itself.
Either of these tasks, as well as others such as "System," "svchost," or "File I/O Surrogate" (none of which I know much about) can spike to anywhere from 30-70% of the CPU without warning, and when it does, the total CPU Usage ends up being 100, which REALLY makes my laptop sluggish and unresponsive.
I understand that RAM does not directly impact CPU Usage, but I would also assume that, since my laptop isn't ancient, that its CPU shouldn't struggle to display my folders/desktop/taskbar, or to run the Task Manager itself. I also run a daily virus check with Symantec Anti-Virus, so I don't think infection is the issue. In addition to that, I monitor memory usage alongside CPU usage, and the memory usage never goes higher than 10.5 (it usually hovers around 6-8) or so GB of my available 16-- insufficient RAM is also probably not the problem.
Something is wrong with my Sony Vaio FW series laptop.. I get major FPS spikes in any game I attempt to run (Dragon Nest, Audition), with FPS dipping down to ~10 every five seconds. When I check Task Manager, it's the games that are taking up the most CPU with overall CPU usage at 90%+. This is really strange and abnormal as I had never had any problems with those games taking up CPU and fps spiking until today (they ran fine yesterday).Between yesterday and today.. I used compressed air to clean my laptop's fan, and I visited some movie watching sites (which resulted in some popups appearing). I'm unsure if the problem can be attributed to a virus, but I ran a full scan of Malwarebytes and did a deep clean on Advanced System Care, none of which helped fix the problem. Firefox, Skype, and other applications appear to run as quickly and smoothly as they did before. However, I've gotten three BSODs in the last 30 minutes, and my laptop appears to be overheating: Here is my Hijack This Log : xks.
EDIT: I understand that a system restore will likely solve all problems, but I want to save that as a last resort.
EDIT1: I think the BSODs were a result of me running CPUID HWMonitor to check for the temperatures - each BSOD occurred right after or soon after I ran it. I'm unsure why running that specific program triggers a BSOD, but if I leave it alone my computer appears to be fine (no BSODs so far after I stopped running it).
read through the stickies, and downloaded all necessary tools, except rammon won't open for some reason. my bsod mostly appears when i'm watching a video online, whether it be Internet, hulu, doesn't matter.
i have a few online games that i like, they run on adobe shockwave player. is there any way to download the games and play them offine without opening my internet browser?

my network connection has been dropping when I try to play any online game (I've tried 3 different games). I can browse, stream video/music. As well as download at speeds over 1MBs. But whenever I open an online game windows notifies me that I have no internet connection, but shows that I am still wirelessly connected to my router. This computer is brand new and has a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. This computer is the only one in the home having the issue, there are several other devices that are able to connect wirelessly with no issue. I have tried 2 different brand new wireless cards, with the newest drivers. I've also assured that my motherboard has the newest drivers. My event viewer shows several issue pertaining to both DNS issues, and to the Wlan.config I believe. I will check when I get home later this evening on the exact errors and their error codes. My next step is to try to reset my winsock and TCP/IP stack.
I play a flight simulator on line with other players. When I want to host the game, I give them my IP number but (I think) because of the fire wall, they cannot connect to my computer. How do I disable the firewall and activate it later after the game?
