GPU at 0%, is that good?

[shadowwulf113]

Hello,

For the last few weeks my laptop has been running rather slow and makes gaming unbearable due to lag. While looking through my system trying to resolve the problem I opened AMD catalyst Engine Control Center and went into AMD System Monitor. Here it shows my GPU and CPU. My CPU is running fine, but my GPU is at 0% and highlighted red. Is that good or bad?

Drivers are all up to date. My CPU stay's between 7%-30% typically. I'm not a computer expert so, yeah. lol
