Now this is a weird problem right there. I guess it started happening in the last few days.
So, basically what happens is... If I leave my PC idle, like if I don't move the mouse for 2 minutes, the graphics card overheats for no reason. I re-checked this because it literally made no sense but unfortunately this is the case.
I have MSI Afterburner installed, and thanks to this program I can see the GPU temp, GPU usage, the fan speed etc. Now, I took a screenshot of these measurements and I monitored them closely to see what happens. I was really surprised by the results.
The interval is 1000ms (1 second). Notice how everything is fine for about 2 minutes after I don't move the mouse. Then, out of a sudden, the GPU temp rises each second, and whats more important, the GPU usage goes from 0% to 100% in just ONE SECOND. Then I just left it like that to see what happens. The temp kept rising, so I just moved the mouse and the usage fell to 0% and the temps started dropping...
Do you have any clue what this could be? I've heard it could be a bitcoin miner, but I don't have such thing installed. I've scanned my PC with Malwarebytes and AVG anti virus (showed no viruses or malware whatsoever), I've also cleaned the registry errors with CCleaner. Nothing helped. According to the info on the pic, this looks like a software related problem to me. Thoughts?
