When I play Runescape about 5 – 10 mins in to gameplay, the cpu drops to 0 while the game’s memory usage stays at 160k. It causes the games fps to drop incredibly low… then the cpu will spike back up to what it was before the drop, causing the fps to be normal again, then repeat. It does this forever.
I’m having similar issues as the person in this thread:
http://www.playdota.com/forums/264498/cpu-usage-drops-causes-5-seconds-freeze-fixed/
Things I have tried:
Updating Graphics Card drivers
updating BIOS
Scanning for Viruses/malware
re-installing java
specs:
1gb graphics card DDR5 radion
4gb DDR3 RAM
Quad core processor 3000 MHz
It is a custom build. I’ve never had this problem before. The only major thing I can think of that has changed on the computer since I have last played this game without a problem, was when I let Steam update my graphics card driver.
any ideas?
