Windows 10: One day my computer became suddenly slow and the GPU usage it at 100% constantly

About a week ago my computer suddenly started acting incredibly slow. At first, I thought it was the CPU but after looking in the performance tab in task manager I saw it was my integrated graphics. Before I go further these are the specs of my ASUS TUF FX505 GT

8gb of ddr4 ram

9th generation i5 Intel core

Intel UHD graphics 630 integrated graphics this is the one that seems to be causing the issues

Nvidia GTX 1650


The problem is that the screen freezes whenever I try anything even something as simple as switching tabs or scrolling down a page. I have tried countless things to fix this and I will list as many as I can remember:

Disabling the card with device manager which works but barely and I end up getting super low fps in games and I'm also getting some problems with the 1650 too

Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers did absolutely nothing for either card

Rolling back the drivers and windows once again did nothing

Factory resetting my pc just a waste of time it didn't even seem to reinstall the drivers

Setting my power setting to max performance

Checking the BIOS


I don't have a clue what is going on but I have three theories:

1. Somehow the actual hardware is broken and that is bad as my pc is a laptop

2. There is another driver that somehow affects it

3. I spent $850 on a potato


In a few days, I'm going to go to Best Buy as maybe they can figure it out. But PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO PLAY CSGO AGAIN WITHOUT 20 FPS!!!

slowness in computer usage.

Hi John,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  What makes you think that system is running slow? Is it when you are trying to run application?
  
• 
  Did you install any third party security application?
  

From the screenshot that you have provided, I understood that it’s not the issue with the disk usage. The slowness might be due to the memory usage.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run maintenance task and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X from the desktop.
  
• 
  Select Control panel and Select System and Security.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshoot common computer problems under System and maintenance.
  
• 
  Now Run maintenance task under
  System and security.
  

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Unistack Service constantly at 100% disk usage

Hello Ruben,

Thank you for your reply.

Have you tried check if the issue occurs in safe mode\clean boot?

If not, I suggest you to follow the steps suggested to boot into safe mode and check.

If the problem does not exist in safe mode, try to perform a clean boot (from the
link you have provided) and check.

Do update us with the status, we are glad to assist you further.

 

HDD Constantly Running at 100%








I done the HD Tune, picked up no errors. Only thing left to try is the clean boot, I looked it up and it involves turning services off, so I assume this should be done to see if any of these are causing the high disk usage?
As previously mentioned the computer only runs at 100% disk usage for a short while and doesn't dramatically slow done the computer, although when using HD Tune to do the health check the HDD stayed at 100% for that whole time.
