Hello everyone,

Since yesterday afternoon my computer became extremly slow while using graphics intensive applications (such as gaming). When I look at GPU-z I see 99% usage while playing WoW on the absolute lowest settings on (1280 x 768). I got a GTX 770 windforce graphics card, which was able to run WoW on high settings on (2560 x 1440) before yesterday. How's this possible and how can I fix this?

I've tried multiple anti virus tools (malwarebytes, roguekiller, Adwcleaner) but nothing was found. Also I've removed my gpu driver via the Display Driver Uninstaller. After that I installed a driver which I am certain about that worked before. And also I've cleaned the inside of my computer, so it's dust free.

How can I resolve this?

The thing with GPU usage is unless you limit the number of frames to render(as in enabling vsync) it will always be 99%.

Does your motherboard have another PCIe 2.0 x8 or higher? If it does, try switching to it.
