    WD external hard drive not seen on computer

    It may be perfectly fine, but the WD interface is broken. I have a My Book that got knocked off a desk, with the result that the HDD could not be read. As I had nothing to loose I opened up the case, took out the drive and tested it in a port on my desktop, clearly the drive had had it. I got...

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    That doesn't mean anything, network connections are device dependent. As far as anyone knows at this stage is you could have a data miner running, your net drivers could be crap or your hardware could have had it. I did say a while back that you need to investigate everything and not take half...

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    This is why I said you must impart full information, not give out little bits as responses to questions. So to recap: up to 2 weeks ago you could run lol and robox with no problem. You havn't tried any other none net connected game to discount any internet problems. Perfmon doesn't say anything...

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    Both the games you mentioned are Client/Server games that are notorious for lag. To rule out network problems, you need to run a standalone game to check your computer out. This is any game that does not need to be connected to the internet, unlike LOL and Robox.

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    I don't see how you can call an A10 strictly an office computer, my old computer still runs games and is slower. an E6600 with a radeon 7800 series card. What worries me here is that your games are maxing out the CPU, constantly, from what you say. By having the graphics chip inside the same...

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    Running perfmon will tell you if the CPU is actually working correctly. I know Lenovo put all sorts of anonymous spyware on their machines, which relates to purchase history and content used. Maybe the CPU is being bogged down with this junk. There was an article a year or so back regarding...

    FPS Lag Spikes every 10 seconds or so

    The thing with an an antenna is your wifi network card. When he put your CPU in, did he test it to make sure everything was configured for that CPU ? Did he go into the BIOS and reconfigure everything ?

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    This is what I am trying to get at. What fps do you get when you solely run the game by itself. I am presuming by OBS, you are talking about the streaming recording program that causes lag in the first place. Do not run this. What does the perfmon log show ?

    How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

    To recap, your run any game without OBS and it runs at 5fps ? You then start OBS to see what is wrong, How is OBS going to help when it causes lag and wont show what is wrong ? I think most people will understand what something running at 5fps looks like. Sorry, the reply doesn't make sense...
