GPU-Z sys file causing game crashes/lag spikes

I recently upgraded my pc and with that came an msi motherboard.

I had been having an issue where a file by the name of GPUZ-v2.sys that was stored in my temp folder would create a temp file that would spike gpu usage to 100% for a moment and sometimes crashing games. (I never installed gpuz nor was anything else running) I proceed to restart windows for a fresh start to fix it while it was fixed for a day or two the file has come back. I think its a problem with the msi installer that pops up when i reset windows to update drivers and such as it also prompts me to downolad gpuz (i did not tick that box)

the specs are as follows
