I have an i5-2500k. I was running at about 25% CPU usage, without Dragon Age Running. I tried going into msconfig and disabling all unnecessary services and startup processes, and rebooted. The stuttering was completely gone. I think that it is Western Digital backup software causing the excess CPU usage, but that still doesn't explain why the game worked much better before the patch. Thanks for the reply though. I wouldn't have though to remove some services/processes otherwise.
Did some testing and noticed my USB 3 Monitor process is running at 25% CPU usage all the time. After killing this service DAI stopped pausing. CPU usage for DAI just sitting on the main menu averages 75-81%. But when I clicked on continue and just before it should have stopped loading my computer blue screened. Which is the first time that has happened. I don't know if my USB 3 process has always run at 25%, but nothing else seems to be afftected by it. So looks like DAI is requiring more CPU time than it did before patch #2 or somehow the patch has caused my USB 3 process to take up more CPU time.
