GPU usage

Go to solution Solved by ManIkWeet,

If you have nothing opened, you got a miner going... aka a virus/malware

So my gpu is at a higher than usualy usage i did have euro truck simulator open for like 2 minutes then closed it because of how bad it was running and now all i have running is 2 monitors one is doing nothing the other is showing a twitch stream my gpu doesnt even usually go above 30%tdp when im playing euro truck simulator i downloaded watch dogs half way then deleted it when i found out about the miner i have checked the directory where the gpu minor is suppose to be and there is no folder so i dont think its that what else could it be ive looked at my processes in task manager and nothing is unusual my cpu is running at 18% which is normal i think please help really dont want to do a system restore.

More reason than ever to add malware to "cracks" now, because mass mining is a big profit...
