[SOLVED] Computers CPU temp jumping to >90C after connecting to the internet

[CPUonfire5671]

Recently I have had a sudden issue where my CPU went from idling at about 50C (Already high) to 90C or more when i connected to the internet. I have run malwarebytes factory reset and paid close attention to my task manager. NOT a cooler issue nor a thermal paste issue

Full system specs? What CPU cooler?

Temperatures like that would suggest a cooler or mounting pressure issue.

you might want to see what processes are running that might be suspicious, if any...(check clock speed , CPU temps, and CPU usage with HWMonitor!); if things get better when task manager is opened, that is often a sign of malware attempting to evade detection by suspending itself when task manager is open..!)

MS's Process Explorer is better, and might allow you track down /terminate/rename/delete miscreant processes carefully if this is malware...

Seems to me they should be fairly well mitigated by now but there used to be a few mining trojan horses kicking around...CoinHive is one if I recall right. Something to look for at least.
