I was on TPU as normal, when all of a sudden the display flickered and then aero had been disabled.
I could hear my graphics card sounding like it was under load, I looked down at my G15, and it was showing my GPU temp rising about 1*C every few seconds. I loaded up GPU-Z and my card had gone into 3d clocks.
Then I noticed my CPU temps was high and my CPu was being used about 80%. So I opened up Task manager and WinSAT.exe was the culprit, as soon as I ended the task everything went back to normal.
WinSAT is the Windows Self Assessment Tool, it is used for the rating system, i.e from 1 to 5.9 in Vista and 1 to 7.9 in Windows 7.
I'm lost as to how it started itself, I'm running Windows 7 RC 7100. I know its an RC, but
