Lagging Problem

[jesalvein]

soething's definitely wrong in your PC or your pcsx2 settings.
you should never reach 78 EE% with your CPu & a game like Kingdom hearts. Could be an overheating problem + intel speedstep ?

What speedhacks are you using?

I have INTC Spin, Wait Loop, mVU Flag, MTVU enabled, and EE cyclerate set at 1 and VU cycle stealing at 0

Okay, did you check what Jesalvein suggested?

disable the EE Cyclerate speedhack as well, you do not need that for those games, especially on your cpu. What does your GS % say? Did you make sure PCSX2 isn't using the intel graphics at all (unlikely i know, but just to be sure)

if you could post your emulog.txt and a screenshot when it lags it may help.

GSdx internal resolution setting, overestimate their graphics performance, you need to set GSdx screenshots and GPU-Z screenshot
GPU load is too high??

My best suggestion for you is to recheck the used GS plugin (SSE2,SSE3 or SSE4)
then check renderer at config>video>plugin settings make sure you are using D3D11 Hardware
about emulation setting you can make it to default settings or preset also make sure MTVU turned on btw GS and renderer is should be the main impact on performance rather than changing settings the speedhacks/any.

What would be the best method to check my PC ?

First get CoreTemp from http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/php/download.php?id=2. Then run it while playing and watch your temps.

Make sure power setting is set to High Performance as well

Well it's a desktop pc. They are normally defaulted to that.
