Question

100% CPU when editing, not rendering

May 13, 2017 6:35PM PDT

I am a YouTuber and so I record with OBS Studio, and all was well until about a month ago my editing software stopped working. This is basically what happened: Every time I put a video into Sony Vegas pro 14 the timeline will not work, the audio will play but the video wont, then when I hit pause the whole program will freeze and not respond, and my CPU usage will jump to 100% and I will have to close the program. It doesn't just do it in sony vegas though, I have tried 2 other programs and it does the same thing on those as well. I NEED HELP PLEASE! I dont know why this just happened but it did. Here are my PC specs:
AMD A10 5800K (2 cores)
XFX R7 370 2gb
16GB PNY Ram
500GB Segate 7200rpm Hard Drive
500GB Segate 5400rpm Hard Drive
Thermaltake 650W 80+ Bronze Power Supply
(If I missed anything let me know)
