Aparently, while pretty much IDLE, my GPU is running at ~95% Power draw,and it's running at 75-85*C....
It's like it's working very hard. Aswell as the temps, they're higher than when I'm normally Gaming (65-70*C)
(All of this is monitored by MSI Afterburner, which I did re-install to see if that would be the case)

But, when I open Task Manager. it drops down to pretty much normal again. I have no idea why or how that is possible.

I'll put 2 pics up of my MSI Afterburner.

And after I open task Manager:

If anyone has any idea, on what this could be, I'd be happy to know.

CPU, Ram, and Disk is fine. But I can't monitor the GPU from task manager.

I thought about that, and a friend of mine told me that too, but I'm not sure. The last time I used something to remove viruses was with Maleware Bytes, which f*cked up my pc for good. I had black screen with no data on my drives. Some i'm very skeptical when it comes to using it.. Do you have any programs or ways to remove such a virus.?
 


Right, that's actually a feature upcoming in Task Manager.

I'm gonna backup my stuff and go for a maleware bytes scan and hope it doesn't mess with my entire system.

EDIT; Malewarebytes found a ton of stuff, I ran the thing and so far it seems to be back in order. Thanks once again.
