BIT TORRENT CAUSING HIGH GPU USAGE

I was having problems with my PC constantly having high GPU usage, which was causing temperatures to rise.

 

I changed the GPU to a different one and had the same issue.

 

The way to fix it is to un-install Bittorrent, it has a built in BitCoin miner which runs in the background.

 

IF YOU HAVE BITTORRENT PLEASE UNINSTALL IT AS IT IS AFFECTING YOUR PC.

 

My friend @waterboy_trick notified me of this, thanks to him I now have a low GPU usage. :D

 

Thanks
