high cpu usage bad for cpu?

No, that's no problem at all.

The only thing you may need to monitor is temperature. If you are a gamer, your system should be equipped with adequate cooling. The cheap fan that comes with the processor is not always up to the task. Intel processors are very self preserving. They will shut down long before they get damaged by overheating. AMD processors are less protected, but will shut down as well.

An overheating processor (fan failure) will present itself by random failures, reboots, broken graphics, etc. If your PC acts weird after a while, and it gets progressively worse until you can't even boot it. Only to find everything working fine after you let your PC cool down 60 minutes. Then you may experience overheating. You then need to go out and find a better cooling fan or other cooling system.

It also helps to keep your system clean. Remove dust from the cooling fins from time to time. But be carefull not to damage the sensitive electronics. Us a brush or canned-compressed air. Vacuum cleaners can cause static and damage your system.

RE:

high cpu usage bad for cpu?

ok i only get high cpu usage when i play wow(world of warcraft) and i know it should be high because its a game well i play on max setting wit vertical sync on because my monitor max refresh rate is 60fps i get 80 to 100 with it off and 250 to 300 with it off on low setting and i have a daul core...

No, that's what the CPU is for. A modern desktop CPU should be able to run all cores at 100% 24/7 for many years without any problem. (It may do a tiny bit of thermal throttling, but that's not a problem.)

na not a problem.

WOW at max settings is still vairly bad graphics anyway nowadays its not going to put much stress on any of your hardware.

download that it will tell you the tempretures of everything that gives you an idea of if long periods of gaming are doing damage or not. (if your temps are over 60 for cpu or if your voltage is over 1.4 for cpu be a bit worried and buy a new cooler or a new PSU)

cpu(computer processing unit) if your using most forms of windows look at your task manager if you see the cpu levels up really high and you have nothing running that means your cpu is working too hard and your pc may overheat and crash this is mostly caused by old cpu's in pc's trying to process everything by adding a modern graphics card and a nice amount of ram your cpu will haft to work less to process more data because it will have the help of a graphics card cpu and more memory to process stuff more at once. i will list what i recommend as far as graphics cards

for watching movies i would recommend amd graphics cards

for playing hardcore games like star trek online i would recommend nvidea graphics cards,the reason i recommend this is i sometimes find with amd that games like sims 3 and star trek online and even runes of magic to become boggy and weard where with nvidia they do the job both kinds of graphic cards i listed will do the job well but for gaming i like to stick with nvidia

Yeah, it just means it's using a lot of the CPU. It shouldn't be bad, unless you play MineCraft for hours and hours and hours at a time, and your laptop overheats. Just make sure to have a break every few hours. It's also bad if you're doing many things at a time (multitasking) while playing, such as doing homework/installing things on the laptop, but I don't suppose you are, since you're playing MineCraft.

its not bad to have a high cpu usage on your computer. cuz what it sounds like is that norton internet thing is telling you that, right. it will tell you the cuz sometimes when you have a high cpu, it could be a virus accessing your computer, but i highly doubt

no thats fine, i'm guessing it just the way the game is written in terms of multi-threading that is giving you the uneven cpu core activity, but nothing to worry about

better if u downgrade for windows 7 32-bit
