Well GTA 4 is horribly optimized and RDR2 is quite a new game so it'd make sense why a laptop GPU might be so utilised. If the GPU isn't constantly peaking and you really completely reinstalled windows, then I wouldn't worry, it's probably just the computer. Check start-up and scheduled tasks with ProcessMonitor and Autoruns. If you don't find anything suspicious and the issue persists/ is very annoying then I'd recommend first wholly wiping the drive and overwriting it, then reinstalling windows again or taking it to a repair shop.
