High CPU Warning from Java

[welshtony]

Iv been getting very high CPU warnings (CPU is hitting 99% - 100%) when running Java (mainly when playing minecraft) and I have no idea why.

Im posting in this section as its a CPU warning so hope its correct.

I tweeted a bit of a screenshot out here but I have seen Java hit over 85% of my CPU

Iv made sure all drivers are updated, well iv made sure everything is updated actually.

Iv uninstalled and reinstalled Java.

This system is a few years old granted and specs are below. Only thing I have really changed since last time I properly went on the computer is iv added a SSD and updated to Windows 10 Home 64bit
I would have thought both of them would be better.

Any idea what is causing this and what I can do to fix it?

That seems to be just the minecraft game itself using your cpu. Minecraft will take in as much cpu and ram as it is allowed to have.

It's not an issue, minecraft is just taking advantage of your computer's resources. It's not a problem unless you have high temperatures.

Im not getting high temperatures. I was playing and live streaming Diablo 3 on max settings yesterday and had no issues what so ever so yeah seems to just be minecraft,

Im going to have a look at the settings and try to restrict it a bit more.
