Do you have any applications like BOINC or Folding@Home installed that can use the GPU to perform distributed computing? Also, have you scanned for malware and viruses? There was some bitcoin related malware floating about that could use the GPU to mine in the background.

hey i did a scan and cant find anything, i will reinstall windows see if it solves the problem.
Ok everything is fine after booting the pc. The gpu is a constant 32-34 celsius at idle and only heats up when i stress it. I have no ideea what was the problem but it might have been a virus or something. Thx for reply take care.
