The OP must not have much interest in an answer, since there's no useful information at all in that post. (Even a DxDiag would be a start, at least.)
If I posted a dxdiag, I'd get the usual ''Your PC is old'' answer. But the thing is, my PC is 5 years old, it runs at 20-30 FPS, only thing that ruins my gameplay is the 100% CPU usage stuttering.
People with 3000$ PCs and beast specs run this game at 60 FPS, their gameplay is ruined by the 100% CPU Usage also. This bug isn't on our end, it's up to Bioware. I know this because a friend of mine has bought a new PC a month or two ago, i7, 16 GB RAM and stuff. He has the same problem as I do, except my PC is 5 years older.
What you choose to ignore is where you are. This is Answer HQ, it is not EA Help. We do peer to peer community discussion here. If you do not wish our help, you should not start a message thread here than is unanswerable of the basis of this forum. If you want our help, you include our desired diagnostic information. Period.
A DxDiag is a very limited, incomplete tool mostly only useful for graphics problems, but it's better than nothing. So: you want to have the thread locked as a total dead end or what?

Happy? As I mentioned earlier, this is a really old PC and Bioware said Dual Core PCs won't run this game. But I'm running it at 20-30 FPS on medium settings.. If Bioware managed to fix this CPU Usage problem, I'd be able to play this next gen game on a 5 years old PC smoothly.
The game requires a quad core. 100% CPU usage is normal for a game. Most of the time PC gamers wonder why 100% CPU on all cores isn't used.
Your attitude needs to change. We are all just gamers like you.
If you manage to get it to run on a dual core, good job.
In Graphic Settings turn off tessallation, msaa, post process aa, poss process fx and ambient occlusion. Set everything else to low.
My computer is not $3000 and i run it fine at 60 fps with a mix of high/ultra settings, ambient occlusion on hbao full, post process aa and post process fx to medium. Upgrade your computer or stick to consoles, you should be so lucky that your rig lasted 5 years. If you make a new rig, you most likely won't have to upgrade again for many years, or until the next consoles come out.
My specs:
i5 3570
gtx670
8g ram
Good luck.
