3080TI FTW3 Ultra always on full load but…

it goes back to normal when I open task manager 🤷🏼‍♂️

The video card has been in use for about 3 years. The temperature has not been measured all this time. Problems started about a month ago - the monitor started to shut down and there were sudden reboots with BSOD. After that I realized that the video card is under constant load with these parameters (on the picture).

I reinstalled the drivers from DDU but the problem persisted. I also changed the thermal paste but it didn’t help.

And today I noticed that while I keep the task manager open the load drops dramatically. Is that a sign of hidden cryptominers on my PC or the videocard is broken? I’m gonna try full scan this week. I appreciate any help!
