i think there may be somethin wrong with my gpu, when i do normal everyday tasks like web browsing and stuff my core/shad/mem clock jump all the way up and stick there for a while(maybe 10-25 secs), heating my card up about 10 degrees from idle, the gpu usage stays really low though, which is weird. it's like its using the max clocks for stupid ***(browsing sites). i tested stablility with kombustor for 15 mins and it was fine, plays games fine, no artifacts or anything. is this ok? do other cards do this or is mine jacked up somehow. nvidia 500 series btw

its ok,your card is fine...other cards also do that,and its because web browsers now make use of the GPU.Try older,primitive versions of your web browser(say those of 3 years back) and you'll notice the difference.
