Hi fellow members,
I have a problem which I thought to be normal, but doesn't look normal.
My GPU temp and utilisation spikes up randomly at idle.
The GPU spikes are weirdly consistent. they are 5 degree spikes almost every time.

The CPU is also at max clock all the time, but it stays at 37 degrees.

I really don't want to reinstall Windows, my SSD is full to the brim with all kinds of stuff.
If anyone can help me, i will provide as much info as needed


My current specs are:
MBD: ROG Strix B550-f
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
GPU: AMD RX 570
SSD: 1TB Samsung M.2 980 PRO
RAM: 2 x 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Corsair Vengeance
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Here's Screenshots from HWiNFO64:
(cpu reporting deviation, thought this looks weird too)

Thanks in advance :)

safe mode seems to have disabled the probable malware, task manager shows usages so low i never seen before, gpu drivers are not initialised, not sure how i can test it.
i also cannot start hwinfo in safe mode (driver can't be installed because system is in safe mode)

edit: i have previously also ran the above mentioned tools in safe mode also, no issues/detections aswell. note i had this issue for quite a long time
