Hello people,
today I have experienced a GPU related problem. It started after performing defrag with DisKeeper 12 Pro and uninstalling D3Dgear video capture program from my PC. To complete the action, I had to restart the PC. I did so and about 30 seconds after reboot the screen strated to blink, randomly, throwing 8 bit squares and mostly ending up with black/violet/green or "entering sleep mode" unresposive screen. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the GPU drivers, virus, malware, etc. scans in safe mode (everything basically in safe mode, cause the normal boot always ened up being dead OR: drivers stopped working). The only case screen remained live happened when the drivers stopped working and have successfully restored (which happened almost never). Since I have MSI N660 TF OC version, there is unused MSI afterburner installed on my system. I tried to open it and what have I not seen... There was OC +549 on the core and +1000 on the memory! I must stress I have never tried aplying such ridiculous numbers and for about last 6 or more months I do not even use any OC since I find it useless in praxis.
So...my question is: What the hell has happened with my system which made it do such an incredibly stupid action? Is there any kind of malware or virus out there? (I checked with updated Malware Bytes and Spybot already with no serious threads found.)
Thanks for attention and hopefully if something like this happens to you...you can think of this case.
