I’ve tried everthing that is possible.

dmw.exe spikes my GPU 3D to 100% at random times (Doesn’t matter what I’m doing)
 
Can you provide your FULL PC spec first ? Which GPU is it ? Are you on a desktop or a Laptop ? Any signs of malware on your system, like a Bitcoin mining virus ?

Is your Windows OS and all the drivers fully up to date ?

PC Specs:
Geforce 1660 Super
Ryzen 5 3600
16 GB RAM
HDD 1TB
SSD 256GB

Before I formatted I did a full scan with Kaspersky and it found Trojan and I repaired it, until then I have formatted my PC 3-4 times.

Currently Windows is up-to-date all the drivers are updated, and I have undervolted the CPU.

And it is still happening.
