The first time this happened was a few weeks ago while I was just browsing the web, and it just happened again while I was watching something on my media player.
Basically what happened was that all of a sudden I noticed my GPU fan going crazy, I checked the desktop, and my taskbar had gone a light blue colour, I then checked Afterburner and saw that my GPU usage had gone crazy (spiking at 90-99% usage) and my Temps were spiking too even tho I wasnt doing anything. Also my power supply (I think, could be my GPU) was making the same crazy coil whine noise (high pitched electrical buzzing) it made the last time this happened!
The only thing I could do was restart my PC, and everything went back to normal.
I dont have any Malware and I'm using the latest nvidia drivers (also happened when I was using the previous driver).
I really need to find out whats causing this.
Thanks.
