Dragon Age Inquisition CPU (PC)

Hey, I have been trying to figure this out now for a while. I have a laptop with windows 8.1 and 64-bit.. But laptop is a year old plus a few months. I thought that it would be able to run smoothly since the other two did as well with the graphics high. When I lower the graphics on this DAI I can play it a little better but it still freezes and at that point it just looks horrible and i have no idea what im fighting or where i am going. It seems to be my CPU. At this moment the game is taking up 78.1% which of course changes all the time (between 70% to 100%) which does not leave much room for anything else there is about two other things that take up CPU but i cannot disable them or my laptop would no longer work. If someone could shed some light on this situation it would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.
