Ya - I have an SSD. And that should be it I guess. Thanks.

I think that worked. No more conhost.exe process running at all, which is weird because I thought that was a normal process that was supposed to run. Also, I didn't notice the note above about updating FRST if it notified me...I didn't. But it still appears to have fixed my GPU from running at 100%. Attaching the new log. Fixlog.txt

Here are the logs from steps 6 and 7. Let me know what you see. Thanks again. ESET export.txt Addition.txt FRST.txt

I've only had time for steps 1-5. I can't resume until later this week. I'm attaching logs for what I've done so far. Roguekiller definitely kills the process during the pre-scan. I'll finish the other scans late this week. Just didn't want you to think I'm abandoning the topic. Thanks for the guidance here.

So my GPU was maxing out at 99%. I did some googling, and came across conhost.exe trojan as possible culprit. When I kill that process, my GPU drops to 0%. So I think I have the problem identified. But nothing seems to fix it. I'm attaching all the logfiles from software recommended elsewhere on these forums. Also note that when I ran combofix the conhost.exe process was running, but combofix killed it when I started it up. Is that normal? Any help is appreciated...trying to avoid a reformat. checkup.txt ComboFix.txt mbar-log-2013-07-28 (11-20-07).txt system-log.txt TDSSKiller.2.8.18.0_28.07.2013_11.19.36_log.txt
