Excitement Fills the Air... Except When Task Manager Appears
Here's the rewritten content with a big change:
I am encountering an unusual problem. The fans in my high-performance computer case are suddenly spinning at maximum speed without any clear reason. Strangely, as soon as I open the task manager, the noise from the fans significantly decreases, creating a stark contrast in the audio level.
Could it be possible that my computer is involved in bitcoin mining without my knowledge? I am currently only using Windows Defender for security, but I recently ran a scan with Malwarebytes, which successfully eliminated some potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Despite this, the root cause of the fan issue remains elusive.
