  1. GPU usage spikes


    So what happens is that I get heavy GPU usage spikes every time I launch any sort of game. I noticed that GPU usage spikes start only after 5 minutes of gameplay, as well as that stuttering happens when GPU usage reaches higher %

  2. Significant CPU, GPU and RAM lag spikes

    My computer is having significant lag spikes. How do I make my computer's CPU, GPU and RAM go down? Any tips or suggestions? Also I use this computer for gaming. 100% gpu usage! 6.5gb ram usage! 65% cpu usage! Disk does fine, though. Windows 10, 21H2

  3. StartMenuExperienceHost.exe causing GPU Usage Spike

    Okay so as the title says I have a problem. It would be a completely unnoticeable issue had I not been a gamer. The problem is my GPU is getting a usage spike and through Process Explorer I have tracked the spike down to StartMenuExperienceHost.exe. When
    my GPU spikes this is the program that popus up for GPU usage.

    The spike is tiny and lasts about a second in length. It takes my framerate of 75 and drops it to 35-40 then it bounces back to normal.

    I've spent the past week trying to fix the issue. I've messed with my grapics card settings, Windows settings, in game settings, I've tried under and overclocking my GPU. I've tried everything. Nothing has helped the issue. I even thought I'd have to RMA
    my card but I don't think it's the card having the issue. I'm fairly certain that if I could kill the start menu until I open it up again that the problem would be solved.

    My rig:

    Asrock Phantom Gaming X RX 570 8gb

    G.Skill Trident RGB 16GB DDR4 3600

    MSI B450 Gaming Plus Motherboard

    Corsair CX550 PSU

    Patroit Scorch M.2 128gb SSD

    Seagate Barracuda 2tb 7200 rpm HDD

    100% GPU Usage Spikes on Windows 10

    Hi there,
    around a week ago I decided to reinstall windows on my laptop (Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55, NVIDIA 1660ti GPU). I reinstalled all my drivers from the website of my manufacturer and all was well. I started noticing large lag spikes that lasted around 0.5 of a second to 1.5 seconds when playing Rocket League and I found it was due to my GPU usage spiking to 100% in high intensity moments and my usage was already high so I assumed it just ran out of resources. I capped my FPS and the issue was fixed for while (a few days), however, since yesterday and maybe the day before, my GPU usage has been spiking again and more randomly this time and I believe in all games. I tried installing a different driver but it didn't work and I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone help me out? Please ask any questions if necessary and I'll answer them to my best ability.

    Thanks in advance,

    Georgie
