Alright here is the basic scenario of what is going on.

I am trying to play some games on this Inspiron 5100 Notebook that I bought.

Couple of problems.  Everytime I try to play either game, the CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays there.

I upgraded the memory adding another piece of 512 MB.

Same problem.  Format did not help either.

This is not very good considering that this laptop cannot keep up to my P3 500 with 128 MB of total RAM running Windows ME playing the same game when is has 6X the memory and this laptop is a 2.52 Ghz.

I am running out of ideas and desperately need some help before I throw this thing out the window.

Thanks,

Eric.
