Hello, I'm facing a problem that is worrying me.
So, the problem is that, I start the internet, I search and play videos and I see the GPU usage going UP on Asus GPU Tweak. When I close everything and look into the GPU TWEAK I see the (gpu usage/ %) hitting max of 94% (example), even with everything close. If I restart the PC everything goes back to the normal state, but going on internet again fires it UP again without going down.

I can't find any thing explaining what might be the cause...

Here are the screenshoot examples:

My PC specs:
MSI Gaming 3 H97
I5 4690
Asus STRIX GTX970 4GB
Gs.Kill Ripjaws 4x2GB 2133Mhz
XFX 750W core edition
Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB 64MB

Any help would be highly appreciated :)

Windows 8.1 is generally better optimized and offers better performance than windows 7. And either way windows 10 releasing later this year will be free for windows 8.1 and windows 7 users, so I would stick with windows 8.1 until then.

2. Go to task manager and stop this process. (Services and Controllerapp.exe32*)
close task manager. Now see your temp it will decrease and gpu utilization will be reduce from 97% to Early 1% to 15%
Suggestion: Keep ur Room Cool Always.
Hope it works for u all.
