Hello,

For about as long as I have had my PC (2+ years) it has had the tendency from time to time (hours or days apart) to increase its temperature, fan speed and usage for about 3-5 seconds then return to normal idle temperatures.

Could someone please help me figure out what it might be? Since it has been hot lately I thought it may have something to do with decreasing temperatures, but I am also concerned it may be a bit miner or logger, even though it only happens for a few seconds at a time.

Thank you for any assistance.
