Hi to all, ok so I've been getting this for a while now at completely random times, but it just happened twice within an hour so I thought it was about time I asked what's going on.
I keep getting random GPU usage spikes when the PC is idling, it goes from 0% to 99% for a few seconds, then back down to 0% for a few seconds, then back up to 99%, then back down...... and repeats this for about 1 minute then suddenly stops. When this happens, Windows 7 taskbar which I have stretched out resets back to default and sometimes also changes my theme from Aero to standard. It happened just a few minutes ago, I restarted the PC, waited for it to completely load up, then I went and made a coffee and came back, so the PC was in idle for around 8 minutes with Nothing open or running. Then suddenly, it's starts ramping up to 99% usage.
I read that the cause can be WEI (Windows Experience Index), but this was a fresh Win7 install just yesterday so I checked that and it said WEI has not been run so there is no score.
So does anyone have any ideas what could the cause???
Appreciate any help,
Thanks
