Scheduled overheat spikes on the video card?
« on: March 10, 2010, 10:13:13 pm »

As 20 people on this site would know, I had heat problems at the beginning of last month. I was able to fix it a few weeks ago, and I thought everything went back to normal. However, this has not been the case. An even stranger occurrence has reared its ugly head.

Several times I noticed sudden heat spikes in my computer, which normally averages around 168 F when idle and up to 200 F if it's super busy. However, at least once every day, there has been a sudden heat spike where it suddenly goes up to 250 F. THe past few days, however, I noticed that there was a pattern at when the heat spikes occur. I noticed this just now when I realized that the time was the exact same as the previous nights, and I backed this up with message histories that I had with my friends online. Is it possible that there is a virus or something that is scheduling these heat spikes?
