Solution
Open 'Task Manager', make sure you show processes for all users and leave it open and pay attention to the GPU and GPU Engine tabs (click the GPU tab so it shows the higher % on top). Do you see any processes using the GPU?
I have encounter several system ruining mining malware using GPU rosources, clearly without users consent.
Download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a full system scan just in case.

Your computer could got infected with GPU Miner malware. This type of malware uses your PC resources to mine digital currency (Monero, Bitcoin, DarkCoin or Ethereum) for someone else without your permission.

Malwarebytes detects and removed many types of malware, some malware that even antivirus might not detect.
If something like that happens again then scan your system with Malwarebytes just in case.

You could click 'Pick as the solution' green button to select that as the solution in case someone else have the same issue.
