High CPU Usage, Low GPU Usage

[Mitchell158]

In such games as Battlefield 1, I have noticed that I have been getting much less fps when playing it compared to about 3 weeks ago. I didn't have my graphics card in for about 3 weeks because two of the fans had broken on it, and now that i have put it back in, i'm getting noticeably lower fps in games. If i take csgo for an example, i used to get about 480~ fps and now i only get about 250~ (and yes,i get that it is more processor based). So i checked my task manager and it showed 100% cpu and it usually never used that much. I also saw that it wasnt using all of my gpu (this was persistent in all games i tested). Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

driver not working properly, revert back to an old driver version.

sorry for the very late response, but i fully reinstalled the driver and it seemed to help but im still not getting the fps like i used to. If you guys have any suggestions as to what it could be, that would be great. thanks!

Ok, so now when i open csgo, and i load into a game it crashed the first time, the second time my pc ran inot a problem and had to restart, and the third time it crashed again. I have no clue what is happening to my pc but this is really annoying to deal with. any solutions would be great right now. thanks again.

It seems to only be when i play csgo, because i opened rainbow six siege and the fps was normal. i also checked the amount of resources being used when playing cs and they were very low. is there any way to allow more to be used? i feel like my computer is not recognizing the amount of resources that is available.
