[SOLVED] Graphics card can't run Chrome or Twitch

[Parkerino]

Hey so if i'm on Chrome or any internet browser my GPU just can't handle it. Just having toms hardware up Chrome will be going at about 10% but a youtube video will make it sit at about 25% and spike to a tad over 50% and DeskTop Window Manager will sit at 50% then Client Server Runtime Process will randomly jump to 20% and just make the PC shutter and lag. Basically the same thing will happen on Twitch. But saying that chrome without youtube it will still randomly jump to 50% and shutter the PC.
There is nothing else in task manager that is taking up anything more than 1%

I mainly play WoW and the PC runs good and it sits at 0.1% GPU usage while DeskTop Window Manager sits at 30% while Server Runtime Process will do the same 20% jump.
Only other game i play is PUBG and it chews up a little more GPU but runs good

Just looked at temps while doing this and whole time GPU and CPU are sitting between 20-30 degrees Celsius

CPU sits below 50% while this happens.

I have cleaned out my Nvidia Drivers with DDU and done malware scans even uninstalled any other software that could be causing trouble just encase
Only other option is to use my old PC just to watch twitch and youtube witch is kinda anoying

Specs are
MB: Z370 AORUS Gaming 7
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080TI WB
CPU: i7-8700k
16gb ram
psu: thermaltake toughpower 1000w

i have asked this in Systems but thought i would ask in Graphics cards with more details

It sounds software-related.
Do you have the latest BIOS and drivers installed?
If possible try a clean installation of windows and see how much will be used then.
You can try a different drive in case you don't want to lose your installation but in that case I would highly suggest to remove the drive that already has your OS.

Yeah I have all the latest drivers, I think I'll just do a clean install of windows and see how that goes thanks

Yeah did a fresh install last night, it's slightly better. It will run chrome and twitch but still occasionally spike, but can't run the game and chrome/twitch at the same time

Try disabling hardware acceleration in chrome settings. For some reason that option makes things worse.

That made and instant difference 😀 i can watch youtube now without it shuttering, also WoW can run with youtube running at the same time. I sit about 100fps on wow when youtube runningnow but before i was on 9 when it was on. Twitch still runs like crap but i don't really care because i don't watch it much at all
