No Idea. You'd need to know your environment, applications and services
and possibly run some perfmon logs and traces as well.
If the graphics controller is using system shared memory rather then
onboard graphics memory, it's probably a case of other processes needing
the memory and CPU in preference. Could be a memory leak. could be
something else.
