Hey guys, I've noticed that when im on desktop my GPU load hits 90% and over - (temp hitting 81 degrees)

Any way to solve this? I've tried using guru3D to uninstall and install my gpu driver 

The only temp solution i've found was to just update/install my drivers to 340.52 although Im already using that version

Thanks ! btw Palit GTX760

 

[edit] is it possible that it's overclocked without me knowing?

scan your computer for any virus

 

might be a mining virus

 

also could be PSU trouble

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I used malwarebytes and it said that I dont have any malware etc on my pc

if you got a spare PC

 

dump the GPU there to verify if it not your PC problems
