CPU usage @ 100% while playing CS:S and DOD:S

[Us3L3ss]

For some reason those two games are using 100% constantly while I'm playing, as soon as I minimize the game it drops down to 0%. I reinstalled the entire game overnight and woke up to it not being fixed. I've already ran AntiVir, Spybot S&D and Adaware and it's all clean.

I should also note that there was an update to these games yesterday, which may have caused this problem, but I don't see anyone else with this problem on the game's official forum.

This problem causes the game to bet a little skippy, I could have a ping of 15 and 70-120 fps and the game feels like it's lagging

AMD64 3200+

Help is appreciated

did you have these problems before the updates?

I never checked the CPU usage before the update, but the lag/skipping/stuttering started happening after the update yes.

Hey im having a skipping type of problem. Is it like if you your going around the corner when you pass it , then you skip back like your going around it again. Very weird.
This didnt happen before the updates. And now it doesnt even connect to steam automatically. Gives some type of winsock error when I start my comp. Seems like it takes
longer to connect also.

Well I fixed my problem, the router was overheating or something...so I unplugged it then plugged it back in and everythings fine.

giorgio I think you have a differn't problem, for me it only seemed like everyone else was lagging, except me. I did get that winsock error one or twice though.
