This is my laptop btw, Windows 7, Dell. When I've played games like Minecraft, League of Legends, Borderlands 2, any steam game really, etc, it goes to 100% usage. This is not because of my laptop or anything, as it was not like that about two months ago, and I know it has nothing to do with the System Idle thing.
Resolution is 1366 x 768, the default one.
Color depth 16 bit
Refresh rate 40hz (same as screen refresh rate)
On maximum PerformanceGPU is Intel HD Graphics 3000
CPU is Intel (R) Core (TM) i3-2350M @ 2.30GHz
4GB RAM
64-bit OS
Modelf or Dell is n5050.Any help?

The N5050 is an entry level laptop. It's really not much of a gamer due to the weak graphics, but you can play games as long as you dial back the settings. Running at close to 100% CPU usage during gaming is fairly normal. However, if it wasn't doing that previously, you'll have to determine what changed. Did you add any software that may have installed a startup entry that's constantly running in the background? Did you upgrade the AV program to one that uses a lot of resources? Is it possible that you picked up a virus or malware? Have you run scans? A couple of programs that are commonly recommended in these forums are AdwCleaner & JRT (junkware removal tool) & . They get what other programs miss.

I also suspect your screen settings are incorrect. Most likely the refresh rate should be 60Hz & the color should be 32-bit (True Color).
Copy & Paste the contents of the AdwCleaner & JRT (junkware removal tool) logs in your next reply please.
