100% CPU Usage while on PoE

Lets see, where to start. The problem is pretty simple, I am running PoE on win7. My PC specs are 8gb ram, EVGA GTX 670 SC, Intel 3570k OC @ 4.2 ghz. I am keeping track of my task manager and for some reason while playing PoE my CPU usage stays at 80-100%. I don't know where to start diagnosing this, can someone give me a place to start?

Edit: I reinstalled PoE, I am now running it through steam.

PoE is a resource intensive game.

Is the 80% to 100% usage causing issues?

Did you check your Task Manager process list to see which process is using all the CPU and make sure it's not a combination of processes?

The problem is being in a video call on oovoo and PoE at the same time. Is there any solution to this besides the obvious turn off oovoo while playing??
I think you answered your own question.
Vsync seems to fix the problem, if you give the game 100% of your resources I guess it just takes it.

You are correct.
I have the same problem on my PC, Vsync did not fix the issue.
