So...With this new computer i bought from a friend, it runs my games very nice and everything. Just one problem though. Whenever I load up a game (Counter-strike, WoW, or even internet explorer!) The CPU just shoots up to 100% and flucuates between that and 80& whenever Ihavethe program running. And also the computer fan will get abnormally loud. Should I be concerned?

Otherwise when i dont have a program running its usually somewhere between 0-20.

It's a 3.3GhZ processor

no thats normal. Games need processing power, no worries. I dunno bout internet explorer though. It shouldn't use that much cpu while its open-CG
