My GPU Usage spikes to 100% after I connect to the Internet (delay of 1-2 minutes), scanned my PC with MalwareBytes, MS Security Essentials, the problem's still there. Updated driver, Rebooted, etc. and it's still there! Help, because my HD 7850 reached 80C and its fan is like "BWOOOSH" which can be heard even when I'm watching my TV or cooking! About to RMA my GPU, but figured I'd ask here first. Oh yeah, and I use Win7x64 with SP1 installed.
