GPU was barely taxed even at highest settings and CPU stayed right around the 50-80% utilization. Anyone have any idea as to what is going on? I am tempted to just reformat and see what happens. Usually tends to fix most odd problems.
You are for sure having something odd going on. The E8400 is nothing to sneeze at, it is still a good gaming cpu all these years later. This might be dumb but are both cores working at 90-100% or just core #1?
