Hi again
When I am not playing counter-strike 1.6, my CPU usage is like 1%. This computer can definetly handle any game you can throw at it, but for some reason, when I open counter strike, it skyrockets to 50%!! That's ridiculous, knowing that this game is like 10 years old and my computer used to run it at like 4% cpu usage.
SPECS
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+, 3.01 GHzVideo:
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO (1280x1024x32bpp 75Hz)

Now ive tried a few things ive done a scan with Ad-aware pro got rid of all the crap it found , got rid of Norton Antivirus as i told it was that, that may be causing the problem deleted a few things that i didnt need on my machine ive also been told that my "PSU" isnt powerful enough but the problem is still there. I load counter-strike or any other games my CPU usage rockets, ive tried setting counter-strike to run on 1 core but still the same problem setting it to both same problem PLEASE HELP..
