in all seriousness, anybody been in my situation and knew what caused it?
>>
Is anything using CPU as well? I can't think of anything that would require 100% of your GPU but not even touch your CPU.

Botnet

>>51485679
unplug your internet & reboot

the word 'botnet' is thrown around a lot these days, but what you have is actually a real botnet.
>>
>>51485679
Do this to check >>51485740

If it's idle when internet is disconnected but active when connected then you got a miner.

Check your startup items for suspicious things.

Get Malwarebytes free and do a scan.
>>
confirm for bitcoin miner, turned off internet and gpu went back to 0%

i ran malbytes with the latest update = clean
i ran spybot with latest update = clean
i ran MSE with latest update = clean

what do now?
>>
This is what you get for endorsing illegal pirates
>>
AMD HAS NO DRIVERS
>>
>>51485789
Just do a clean install desu senpai
>>
>>51485789
Check what CCleaner lists as your startup programs and scheduled tasks.
>>
>>51485601
botnet

>>
>>51485789
Try ComboFix and let us know if it works
>>
>>51485789
download COMODO cleaning utilities
run the startup analyser/autorun or whatever it's called
it will display EVERYTHING that boots with your PC
even if the malware uses tricks like hiding itself in task shed n shit
then if you think you found the binary, upload it to virustotal.com and post results here
and remove it (obviously)
>>
>>51485601
Adwcleaner is a possible solution aswell
>>
>>51485877
combofix didn't do shit

Today we witnessed a miracle
/g/ was actually helpful
>>
>>51486549
Yeah cause we fucking hate mining malware.
Almost killed my laptop, had a gt 520 and laptop got so hot it shutdown a few times.
Just gave up and installed mint with the gpu disabled. Fucking fermi.
Intel hd 3000 is plenty for regular shit.
>>
>>51486549
/g/ is helpful every single day. We still have some wizards around, but some people don't believe in them and think that /g/ is dead and only good for shitposting.
>>
>>51486642
And yet there were still two Jewtel/Novideo shitposters in this thread.
>>
>>51486796
Meh, they didn't really accomplish anything.
>>
>>51485789
install gentoo

Linux is a perfectly viable solution for some.

Did you have a driver crash while attempting to overclock?

>>i ran malbytes with the latest update = clean

What makes you think Antivirus software are actually useful?
They are just memes at this point.
Reinstall windows tbqh.
>>
Holy fuck, someone save the thread, /g/ helped someone today.
>>
Please don't uninstall my bitcoin miners
>>
>"It's a bitcoin miner!" meme turned out to be actually true in this case
>/g/ helped someone today
I am proud

>>51485789
reinstall windows, don't use pirated software.

>>51485789
when malware caught my arss, I just switched to win10 but without activating it
it works perfectly fine, but I just got some limitations on my personalization options, wich I easily can bypass with an trick(can post how to do it if someone is interested)
>>
>>51485601
My guess is that you're 13, downloaded something called "hotxxxmovie.avi.exe" or something similar, and now you're mining bitcoins for some fag
>>
>>51487772
more probable is that he installed utorrent
>>
>>51487695
Interested
