I have been recently having problems with my GPU crashing the Nvidia Kernel.

A quick goole and boom, lots of issues regarding how since update 310 and forward people been experiencing Kernel Crashes. After skimming forums for several minutes I happened upon someone that fixed his issue by taking away the IEHIGHUTIL.EXE that was loading surreptitiously in the background. A java based insert attack that loads this bitcoin generating program.

Though it was not my case, I found that interesting reading.

As Bitcoin gains popularity, people stealing away computing power off you will be more common.

Leaving you this to discuss, quite interesting, as I try to keep finding, like several others, the real cause of my stupid Nvidia Kernel crashing. It began after I installed 314 update but not even a rollback has worked bleh. Oh well, back to tweaking.
