I'm currently running Watch Dogs at low quality and my CPU usage says 95-100 % and the game freezes. This is true for almost any game I run. This is a relatively new build.

What's inside:

Processor: AMD A4-7300 Dual-Core 3.8GHz (4.0GHz Turbo)
RAM: 16 GB Crucial Ballistix RAM
Motherboard: Biostar Hi-Fi A70U3P
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6950
1TB Hard Drive
CD/DVD unit
Two 120mm case fans
 
also, really dumb question, but if my speed is high (O.C. to 4.1-4.2GHz) why wont it run when the A10 5800k is 3.5-3.9GHz?
