GPU at max load

[HeaT]

My 7950 is running at 99% usage on idle.

 

 

 

Is there any programs that will do what task manager does to see what is using the GPU? 

 

I think it could be a bitcoin farmer, I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware quick scan and ran combo fix. It seemed to fix it on reboot but It's just come back.

Run a complete/full scan with an anti virus program rather than a quick scan.  Make sure you aren't running any extensive programs in the background, check in task manager.

You may have a bitcoin mining virus.

You may have a bitcoin mining virus.

 

That's what I thought. I have ran a full scan with AVG and found nothing. I also did a full scan with Search and Destroy and found nothing yet my GPU is still at 100% load.

reinstall the driver

 

uninstall flash and then install it again

I had this problem my self a few weeks ago. For me it was a  Bitcoin malware that uses my GPU to Bitcoin at idle. Try scanning your PC with something like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in safemode. It worked for me.

You could use Sysinternals' Process Explorer to see what programs are using your gpu:http://superuser.com/questions/585532/how-can-i-identify-which-processes-are-using-the-gpu

Yes, use ProcessExplorer to check which process is utilizing your GPU. 

 

Open ProcessExplorer and then press Ctrl+I to open System Information Window. Then switch to GPU tab.

I have fixed the problem. Can't remember the location but the bitcoin was in a folder called "Time". Had a process running called time-server or something along them lines. Killed it then deleted the folder.
