CPU reacher 100% after every pitch

edm · 07-11-2008, 03:16 AM

I noticed a low pitch humming sound coming from the computer after every pitch (while the play by play text is still on the screen and before you a key/mouse button to continue).

At first I thought it was coming from my speakers since I'm playing with the sound on. So I turned them off. but I was still hearing the buzzing.

When I checked task manager, I noticed after every pitch the CPU Usage was reaching 100% (again, while the play by play text is still on the screen), and it didn't go back down to until I clicked a key to continue.

So I assume the buzzing is the CPU working, or maybe CPU fan. But should the CPU usage be reaching 100% then staying there? I could understand it peaking for a second then going back down on it's own, but why does it stay a 100% until I click a key or mouse button? Nothing seems to be happening once the pbp text completes writing.

out of curiousity - is the vent where the fan is, all dusty?

This is happened to me before, when I used to play FM, and then I noticed the vent was all dusty, I cleaned it and it stopped overheating.

just to update this. I didn't see it listed, but this issue seems to have been fixed in the patch.
