    I was currently playing portal and wintabbed out and looked at the cpu usage and then is said something like 1e2c.exe isnt responding....

    And also, I was playing plasma burst 2(heavy online flash/multiplayer game) and noticed that cpu usage was going to 40% and above... is this normal?

    This is a stupid question tbh, since when are games not ment to use your CPU? I get games that use up to 80% usage. And btw its normal.

    Also the 1e2c.exe is somthing to do with your windows explorer, not quite sure what exactly though.

    To be less rude:
    Yes that is completely normal.
