Yesterday i started having problems with high gpu usage and low performance while playing games or scrolling on some websites (high gpu usage and lag only while scrolling).
Also happens when I expand the text window while writing this post.
Clocks and temperatures are OK.

Things i tried:
* Uninstalling and reinstalling video drivers - also tried installing older versions.
* System restore
* Reinstalling windows
EDIT: * Scanned PC with Malwarebytes and Avast - nothing found

Specs:
ASUS Sabertooth 990fx, AMD FX-8150, GTX 580, Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 8GB 1600MHz, OCZ ZS 750W
Windows 10 Pro

Have you made sure that all background processes that aren't needed are turned off? Especially third party programs like Corsair CUE or Razer Synapse or the like.
