i posted in this forum 1 year ago and was not able to find a solution to my problem, so i will post it again.
1 year ago i downloaded far cry 3 (pirated) and installed the game. Immediately after install my gpu started to overheat and run at 99% activity till it hits 91 degrees and i get a BSOD. Today, after 1 year i tried to install the game again and the same this happened.
I've already uninstall far cry 3 and the problem still persists. My GPU now starts to ramp up in speed and temperature as soon as i switch on my computer, even before windows starts to load.
Right now i have downclock my gpu to gpu clock 300 MHz and Memory clock 150 MHz and temperature started falling slowly from 70 degrees to 37 degrees (normal)
I think i solved the issure, i just installed AVG and it immediately detected what i would assume is a trojan called svchost.exe. I will make a deep scan and let you know. Can't believe such a small virus prevented me from playing far cry 3 for 1 year.
svchost.exe itself is a Microsoft service that controls linked libraries. It is a generic name for this service. Although a virus could be disguising itself as one.
svchost.exe is actually a general program native to Windows. It can be used by unwanted programs, but it's also used by many legitimate programs as well.
