All my power savers are on "Never". Not using aero... Not sure what else to do... 
 
Basically... When I am using the computer... 99% usage... Leave the computer for over an hour, 50% usage...
 
This feeels familiar, I just cannot remember what it is that I am forgetting to do

    Are you sure the drivers aren't crashing?
    And isn't the current core not really optimized for Kepler?

    Last I heard, Kepler is not optimized in Folding. 
     
    I would not rule out it is the drivers. However it is a clear 50% drop, wiggle the mouse, goes back to 99%...

    Almost sounds like your pc is going into hibernation. Are your power settings set for performance? Turn off any screensaver. Is your slider at 100% ? Even for a kepler, this is not normal. Latest driver is 314.07.

    That doesn't change the GPU utilization.

    Sounds like power config to me also. Hard drive ro something is going to sleep. I would change it or even use a different power setting(high, low and normal) Your probably on normal by default. Move to high and reconfigure it to not go to sleep.
     
    Possible option:
    Also under configure/advanced/folding core priority i moved mine to slightly high because my PGU's were jumping from 99-100% down to 50% like a nightmare roller coaster, like 10 up and downs per second. killed my PPD untill i clicked it and it folded in full force after that.

    This helped me, folding full force again.

    Same here.. No idea why though. I am not running the CPU  And all power settings in the system are custom, max performance. No sleeping or timeouts allowed...
