Nellis Air Force Base: Incredible CPU usage

Recommended Posts

I generally tend to disregard this area of the game, as I don't really care for the main quests at all. Whenever I DO come here, I have maybe 2 minutes of gametime before my computer fan begins revving up really hard, and the CPU usage rockets from 48~% to 100% in a second. I've lowered every setting to the absolute bare minimum, turned off antialiasing and all other hidden settings, but no matter what, a few minutes and VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from the fan. I can temporarily stop it by bringing up the pipboy or pressing esc, which causes it to calm down, but leaving them causes it to go nuts again.

 

Processor: AMD Athlon II x4 630, 2.80 GHz

RAM: 6 gigs

OS: Win 7 64 bit

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

 

Why does it do this, and how can I stop it? The computer is fine if I leave the fan going like that, but it's so obnoxiously loud that I can't play with it.

 

EDIT: It's only during daytime. Nighttime hours are fine, for some reason. Possibly because of the lights doing too much white or something?
