Your CPU % in windows task manager is across all cores (in your case 2) so 40% could be in the worst case 80% load on one core and 0% on the other. Something more specialized like msi afterburner (you don't need a msi graphics card to use the tool) will be able to give you real time load readings on a per core basis.
I would check to see if the hack use software rendering for FMV is enabled, which fixes a lot of games (possibly these ones) but would be a much more crushing load on your 2 core lower end mobile CPU. If I was near my emulation rig I would check if it is a default config for the game. If it is someone can nicely help you either edit the config file or turn it off.

Hmm I had a similar issue but it wasn't during the FMV cutscenes it was during the Voice acted scenes but changing the Power status from balanced to high performance fixed the issue for me. It's weird that switching to high performance mode didn't fix the OP issue. What are your PCX2 settings such as the graphical API used and what internal resolution are you using? The reason why I am asking is because if you are running the game about native PS2 resolution it really push your CPU and if it can't handle it then you are going to run into problems. Since you are using an AMD card I would recommend using Direct X.
