[SOLVED] Gigabyte GTX 1060 3gb, Black screen and fans 100%

So I bought a Gigabyte GTX 1060 3gb and I have noticed that in some games the temps can reach almost 82°C. And while i was playing Shadow Warrior 2 the gpu just stopped sending signal and its fans went to 100%, only holding down the power button and restarting pc helps. I have checked the 12v in BIOS and it says 11.93 stable. I have a 500w PSU and maybe that's the problem. I have run a Unigine Heaven benchmark and it worked fine except for almost 80°C after almost 30min. Also my card is connected with a 6+2pin (the card only needs 6pin so the 2 pin is just dangling near) if that matters. I also noticed that if i undervolt the core a little in Afterburner the black screen in Shadow Warrior 2 seem to appear later.

As far I haven't found the solution so I would really appreciate if any of you guys would help.
And I am sorry if that's a beginner question, but basically I am a begginer.

Ok, so actually it was probably some Bitcoin digging crap that was just running in the background and it went on full power when I was playing games so it wouldn't look suspicious that my GPU is under load when doing nothing. Yesterday I just simply run a deep scan in AVG Antivirus, then I removed the files that it suggested and voila. Today I played Shadow Warrior 2 on full settings and it kept a cool 68-70 C and not even once I got the no signal problem. So if any of you guys have the same problem I would suggest checking your PC for viruses
