CPU speed shouldnt go to more then 10% when just surfing on the internet, something is realy broken on you comp, i would recomend to format the harddrive and set up the system from scratch.

Bloodhunter, try opening Task Manager, go the Processes Tab, and click CPU to sort by usage.

Like such:


(Even my POS laptop only uses that much to load a page while having 8 more idle)

I figured the problem, I did some driver updates and did my windows updates and Skype is being a douche-bag lately.

I use skype and It's a bitch idd.
Not for many other reasons but for the ability to video-call and conference calls.
Especially the share-screen option it has it's very good.
Although quality sucks, we can see each others screen which is very useful sometimes.
With sharescreen on, skype can eat 20% of my CPU. It's a total mess.
Got any good alternatives to recommend? Free ones ofcouse :P

best thing is to shut down absolutly everything that's not needed before starting a game, here is how my desktop looks like before starting something

my mobile phone can run wow, no shit that's an early 2004 pc-game, you can't compare that to a late 2012 release.

your graphics card got 141 points in the latest G3D mark test, around 450-550 are needed to run GW2 fluid on low settings.
