The CPU usage is at 100%

I have the old computer Athlon XP 1700+. Use it to run DOS-programs (installed Win.XP, but the DOS programs are run through the motherboard with AGP).
Set it 2 the game (under Win.98 and ME) in 2000 and 2001 (on Intel with Win.7 x64 on the Intel Win.XP, these games do not run, but on Athlon XP 1700+ they work well). When you run these games CPU is loaded on 100%, even in the menu. Reduction settings in the game does not reduce CPU usage. The processor is not heated. The graphics card is loaded with 50%.
AMD Athlon XP 1700+: CPU=1,47 GHz.
Who dealt with such ancient computers, tell me what could be the problem.

I assume that you installed the driver on Athlon XP 1700+ does not give reliable information, because they are wrong

need to run Win XP in safe mode(this mode without drivers)
and use all the methods from the article
https://www.itshneg.com/check-model-motherboard/

there is another more time consuming option is to write in the search"motherboard VIA KT400-8235 and look for the pictures look like my if you find my pictures, throw off the link to the picture

Installed AIDA 32. Written - motherboard Epox EP-8K9A(I)
Found in the Internet, looked at the picture, sure it is.

for Epox EP-8K9A(I), found only here is, first set the driver for Chipset driver on the second page,
and then from the first page driver the sound and network card
https://driver.ru/?H=EP-8K9AI&By=EPoX

after each driver installation, reboot PC

Stunned how many problems. All downloaded, now will try.

After installing the driver on a chipset and the agreement to restart, the computer hangs, reboots, and VIA Huperion hangs in the process and not responding. When forced termination of a process, the computer rebooted and all remains as it was. I tried many times. Tolley driver is not that, roofing felts still that, is unclear.

try the driver on a chipset, can XP itself will take it

if after installing the drivers for sound or network card will stop responding, then try these drivers

Installed driver to sound. the map version is newer. A network card from a computer no, not worth it. I guess I have it removed. When you start the game all the same 100%. I tried to have the driver on a chipset, it hangs. Need to look for another driver.
And more interesting: in device Manager, in the row Processors is:
- before installing games stood AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ (before overclocking)
- after installing the game and stood overclocking AMD Athlon(tm) XP
- now suddenly the computer rebooted itself and is AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ , and acceleration is lost.
Run the game, and the same 100%.
Now look at AIDA 32 - Chipset of system Board VIA VT8377 Apollo KT400.
You may need to look for the driver on this chipset ?

vftor you probably do nothing.
On older processors it's fine, especially if connected to a 1080 monitor. So driver you'll be looking for a very long time until you get tired of watching this nonsense. ;)

what Aida32 says about the name of the motherboard ?
on Epox EP-8K9AI should stand network card! maybe the motherboard is different?

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/828685/Epox-Ep8k9a.html?page=9#manual
there RG45 connector

I just insured. At least percent and not heated, but when loaded 100% of anything can be bad.

In AIDA32 says that the network card no. In device Manager it either. I do all the extra footage.
And the motherboard is exactly.

Really, RJ45 network connector no. So my computer without a network card.
And everything else is the same.

here's the Assembly of the drivers on chipsets from VIA
writing this
VIA Hyperion Pro drivers are suitable for ANY VIA chipset - but they are particularly recommended for KT4## series

Same thing, freezes. Can really, wrote comrade potter790, that's fine. What do you think ?

o
onvoid 17.11.19

I think it is an iron problem or the motherboard is faulty(some sort of capacitor dried up), or problems with the CPU, and it happens, well, maybe a buggy RAM(how to check it mentioned using MemTest86)

Clearly, in General a severe case. Thank You for your participation. If this computer will die, I have a spare Athlon XP 2600+, which is now connected via S-Video to the TV Tuner on another computer on Win.XP (so you can make screens DOS). The picture is worse, DOS programs are rolled, but games will not go.
