Time for new hardware?
Recently, within the last few days the plarium app, which I use to playing Vikings was zapping like 50% of my cpu. I could hear the fan kick in, begging for mercy. I shut down the app, and everything went calm. I thought a restart might be good, clear the books and open windows, my internet connection, and plarium app fresh. While monitoring the Windows Task Manager I could see again the heavy load the game was tasking my CPU. I had to shut it down again, fearing for the safety of my Computer. It's all I have left, so if it gets destroyed you might as well toss me in the trash with it.
Do I need to upgrade something? cpu, graphics, DirectX?
