Hi All, my nephew is having problems with his computer at the minute and he said that this keeps happening:
I currently have a custom built PC running an AMD FX8350 8 core processor (about 4GHz), with 8 Gb ram, a 650Watt PSU and I currently run an NVidia GTX680.
Yesterday I received my new 680, (An Asus) since my old MSI 680 would intermittently make squeaking noises which I initially thought was the fan. After opening up MSI Afterburner, I noticed that when I was on the internet for example or writing a paper, the GPU & usage would randomly shoot up to 77-78% usage for about 2 seconds, squeak a bit and then return to between 0-3% usage. During this spike, the Core clock MHz, (and other things which were shown as having a clock speed - I can't remember them all) would also increase slightly, the Voltage to the GPU and the fan speed would also periodically increase as well.
I can't understand why this is happening, its not always constant either, It happens when I turn my PC on and it still happened for about an hour whilst I was on my game. It then stopped later and I have no idea why.
I have tried updating my drivers, changing fan settings on the ASUS GPU tweak and I'm all out of ideas. NVidia said it could be due to lack of space in my system but I doubt it since the MSI card was significantly smaller and that still happened.
I'd appreciate ANY help at all guys !!
Cliffs: GPU spikes to 77% and squeaks for around 3 seconds every 20-30 seconds and no idea why, updated drivers, set fan on auto, happens both in games and idle. Changed GPU to different brand and still occuring… help
Has anyone got any idea why this could be happening? Any help appreciated!
