I use the pc normally.

Pc starts to be very very slow.

I look at task manager and I see high GPU usage

enter image description here

Look at the process:

enter image description here

Then I look at Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility: note that "power limit throttling" is enabled

enter image description here

Now I unplug my power cable from the laptop and this happens. The "power limit throttling" is disabled.

enter image description here

Now I look at task manager

enter image description here

I put PC to sleep and start again. Now works fast.

enter image description here

"power limit throttling" is still enabled but pc is fast. I'm not sure what is the problem.

Normally my pc runs very hot (on the left side) and no much cpu is used (30%). I don't know why everything seems to take a lot of CPU, like small things.

Also not sure why is so hot all the time. I reinstalled windows and still hot, even on idle.

Anyway looks like there is a bug and once it enters in this power limit, it will not come back to the normal state without restart.

Any solutions? I have an i7 5600, I think is good enough for browsing without getting hot, but is hot.

Driving the GPU continuously at almost 100% capacity will heat it up, and depending on the case, may also heat the hardware around it. Most modern CPUs will slow down when the temperature is too high, and some will not return to normal performance without reboot. This seems to be your case.

However, it is not normal for the GPU to run that way. If this is a program of yours that does it, you should put some limits on its use.

If it is not your program, check that the Client Server Runtime Process is running from the system : In Task Manager right-click it and select "Open file location". Explorer should open to the C:\Windows\System32 directory where the program is called csrss.exe. You may get more detailed information by using Process Explorer. If it is not the right one, then your computer is infected and is probably busily mining crypto-currency.

If you are infected, you should deep-scan your computer with several well-known anti-virus products and see if they find anything. For more information see the post
