So for my birthday i wanted to upgrade my pc so i did before my pc specs was:
Intel i3 6100 LGA1151
Intel HD 530
MSI H11M PRO-VH PLUS

1TB HDD

4GB RAM DDR4

now the main problem was that the ram was too low and would crash my pc all the time due to the disk usage being at 100% all the time so i decided to upgrade my RAM to 16GB so i got 2 8GB DDR4 Sticks and installed them now when i'm trying to play games or do anything my CPU usage is at 100% and it's making my PC crash am not sure what to do...
Current PC specs:

Intel i3 6100 LGA1151
Intel HD 530
MSI H11M PRO-VH PLUS

1TB HDD

8GB RAM DDR4 x2 = 16GB DDR4 RAM

Download HWMonitor or HWInfo64 to see what your CPU temperatures are under load.

Do you have a graphics card? There aren't many games you can play with the HD 530.

ok and no i can't afford video cards i upgrade my pc every year after saving up for it if i want to buy a graphics card i'd have to wait 2-3 years for it
