Virus/malware infection?

how can a virus affect my graphic card ?

dj1997 · Jan 12, 2014

reinstall your display drivers and check the graphics card is secure and the heatsink is tight also defrag your hard drive

ffomar :

Not the graphics card directly; but it can take away CPU, memory resources etc. causing bottlenecks, and bringing down your overall gaming experience.

btw what is fb usage that you're mentioning?

cst1992 :

I think he means facebook website just a guess though

dj1997 :

I thought so too, but that makes no sense.

cst1992 :

ffomar :

not only your gpu drivers but all of your system files...
not installing antivirus software is a suicide..
you should install because its free and necessary

a1blaster :

never had it never will never had any viruses or problems

cst1992 · Jan 12, 2014

That is not the point; please stay on topic.

virus cannot effect your gpu but it can dramatically increase your CPU/GPU usage by running false programs in processes and if you didn't install anti virus soon you may get your files compromised. You can give a try to Microsoft Security Essentials, It's free, easy to use and don't put too much load.

dj1997 :

I goggled fb usage and it said its the memory usage of the gpu , I tried reinstalling driver nothing changed but my defragment fails at count 4 : 21 %

ffomar :

I think your best bet is back up your shit and reinstall windows mate as it sounds like your hard drive is corrupted and needs formatting
