no problems at all

my bios are a bit weird, First thing is that it says i boot with windows 7? my intel i7700k processor is overclocked which i never did myself along with other settings that were somehow messed with and changed like my monitor output fan speeds etc, there is a weird setting as well something like "4gb used for mining" something along those lines that i never saw before i assume something to do with crypto mining which makes sense with the overclock settings as well. my pc has had many performance issues recently and when im playing games i lose connection with mouse randomly, ive seen remote desktop opened many times which i close. I lose admin privs to random apps ive wiped my pc before and even took out the D:/ drive but somehow when i boot back up i get the same problems its very confusing to me. When i try to change my bios settings my pc will either crash on bootup or go through and next time when i come back to drivers, they are all back to the overclock settings wwhich is why i think its a scheduled thing when i boot to reset the settings somehow im not sure. Also i know for sure something weird is happening with my connection/wifi is being used somehow theres a lot of traffic and when i was trying to stop it with my firewall the settings would go back after i would change them its very strange. Ive dealt with some malware here and there and never had issues figuring out a pc problem im pretty well rounded with my pc i game a lot, but this problem ive tried to fix myself with a lot of time and i just cant seem to figure it out its out of my control and knowledge, can i ask what maybe is going on to get a better understanding and be aware? maybe then i can provide better details.

i attached a file to the servers i think are being tampered, its something to do with my browser certificate allowing connections and permisssions i think.

Hello wavy12345,

Actually you computer is clean and I don't see any evidences of any infection there. :D
In addition, the choice of one antivirus removed potential and real conflicts between processes in the system and the distribution of system resources, and the machine as a whole began to work more stable.

However, obvious interventions in the BIOS settings, administration settings, access privileges, and taking in account increase of CPU using and increased CPU temperature, can lead to the computer state you described, including hidden crypto mining and a detailed analysis of the situation requires a different level of knowledge and specialists in the Windows system and support.

I highly recommend asking for additional help outside of our forum and would like to refer you to a technical support forums like Tech Support Guy or Sysnative.


Please don't hesitate to ask any additional questions.

Stay Safe! ;)
