Usually my computer runs at a fair 30 on idle, and reaches around 50-60 on load for heavy games. That's just fine by me.

Today however I turned on my computer, and after an hour or so of doing nothing but Microsoft Word I thought I'd open MSI Afterburner- only to find my GPU was running at 50 on idle!

I haven't tried running anything graphically demanding on it, I fear it may implode. What could have caused this? Is there a fault here?

I've turned it off since and let it 'cool' but on boot it just heads right up to the 50's again.
