does anyone have any ideas as to why my CPU is running at 100% and it locks up when i try to run it

 

Hi TatenDaOne,

You say it is a hardware problem, may I ask what THQ or others have said to lead you to this conclusion?

 

i'm lead to believe it is my CPU throttling, but if you have others ideas i'd love to hear them
i've solved my problem it seems i didnt have the latest GFX driver after all but i do now and its working fine

 

I'd love to hear what THQ have told you.

EDIT:
I'm glad to see you've fixed your problem (it wasn't hardware after all ).

Please mark your thread as resolved so others may find your solution.

 

i didnt go to THQ that was gonna be my next step if you guys coudnt provide an answer, i downloaded the driver as an after thought, you know just in case.

 

You are using Windows 7 which is not in the list of supported OS's, might that be contributing to the problem?

But, if all is fixed, you can mark the thread as resolved from the 'Thread Tools' tab in the top right hand corner just above the first post.
