CPU: i7-8700
Cooler: Kraken x72 (recently installed for cpu upgrade in future)
Mobo: Gigabyte Z370-HD3
So I noticed the other day that my PC was making more noise than usual.. First port of call was to check CPU load and I noticed that winlogui was running.. found out that it's a bitcoin mining malware so I used malware bytes to get rid of it. The fans were still making quite some noise and looking in CAM the pump is running at I believe, its max of 2000RPM and the Fans are at 1270RPM. I am not getting a CPU temperature reading. I also am not getting any CPU temp reading in HWMonitor and when I try to run Core Temp it says: Driver has failed to load. The program will not continue. I've opened the PC and cleaned it of all dust just incase but I'm thinking a cable might be disconnected thats preventing me from getting temperature readings so I'm going to open that and check. Any help much appreciated.
for some reason the instant I open task manager my CPU usage goes from 70% > 20% > 5%. is this normal for everyone and I'm just looking for a problem and thought there was something there?
