Hello, sorry if this isn't the right area I don't really know where else to ask. I'm running windows 7 with a GTX 560 ti and noticed the other day that all of a sudden my FPS in games, and even online videos suddenly dropped. As a result of this installed the newest drivers and it was fixed for about a day. I noticed today that it started again, so I checked my GPU temp which was idling at around 61c which is usually my load temp, and the fan up to 70%. For some reason or another saw 3 instances of vbc.exe running and closed them all, immediately my gfx card fan became silent and the temp dropped to 38 within minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Can I just disable vbc permanently or is there something worse happening? Any responses appreciated!

Lots of games require Visual Basic C++ runtime files, it could be that there might be a version you have that is in conflict with a different version. As Vdeckerv pointed out so succintly, you may have the C++ compiler running in the back ground while you are playing a game. Any other C++ programs or applications you may have running at the same time as playing the game might be worth closing otherwise close the game and go and do your homework. :hmmm:

Well regardless or playing a game or not, this issue is apparent as soon as i start my computer. Once it's on there are 3 vbc.exe processes running. I can physically feel my graphics card heat up quickly as soon as my PC is at my desktop. Once I disable those exes it returns to normal. I'm probably just going to reinstall because this issue is beyond me. It also affects more than just games and videos though, such as minimizing and maximizing a webpage looks laggy, until I cancel those processes.

You may need to re-install but also consider what Programs you have installed, what games you play, and whether your hardware & system is up to the task of your choosings.

Perhaps you might just need to uninstall the most recent program, game or app that you installed? Shut down between each uninstall.
Work your own way back between installs until the cuprits no longer appear.

vbc.exe process

I've used Visual Basic programs and apps and even written a heap of my own but I've only used VB 6 and not VB C /+/++, Sharp, so I've never come across that vbc.exe, most unusual.

It's going to be an app you have written yourself or a game or an app that requires C programming instruction, as to why it makes the video card so hot is nothing to do with it, the CPU processor does get its full load to excess so the PSU could actually be running at it peak power limit thus forcing the video card to suffer which may in tyurn be the sole cause of the problem. Upgrade the PSU to about 100 watts higher than what you have currently, it may very well fix the issue.
