Hi, for about a week after updating my Windows, I have noticed a huge problem while gaming. My GPU is only getting 2 to 3% utilization while gaming, down from 98%. The best example I have is when playing CS: GO, before the update I had 370+FPS, now I have about 30... It's not only one game that does this, anything that uses the GPU does this, anything. Even Windows is sometimes laggy.

Things I have tried:

-Reinstalling GPU drivers

-Uninstalling and then reinstalling Windows Updates

-Putting the GPU in the other 2 slots of my motherboard

-Checking the cables on the GPU
