IgfxEM and igfxHK modules take up a lot of CPU

Hello

I have a problem with my drivers for HD4600. Both igfxEM and igfxHK modules take up a lot of CPU use. Usually they are around 10-12%. My CPU is I7-4700MQ.

Now I know this question has been tackled here before but the thing is that the solution that was proposed was installing new drivers. I did that many times, tried both the newest (15.36.26.4294) as well as older ones (153623). Neither work. Neither change anything. This processes slow down my entire computer, especially flash videos. Usually I just end them with no consequences.

I have a Clevo W370ST laptop with a custom PremaMod bios. Windows 8.1 64 bit

I would be grateful for any help.

I understand you have been testing Intel(R) graphics driver, and what about customized drivers?
