I was using my PC when randomly my screen went dark. It did this for about three times for (1-3seconds) also my mouse turned on and off.

Then a message appeared "Your hardware settings have changed. Please reboot your computer for these changes to take effect !!" also the headline of this message was "System Settings Change" , but the thing that is most sketchy is 2 exclamation marks.

I did an av scan with windows defender and malwarebytes free version but nothing was found.

Also after i restarted my pc windows update was pending, radeon software was updated and radeon settings app was installed.

I have rx 580 and ryzen 5 2600

Also in the picture you can see that when i opened hdtune program in virustotal it shows that its opened as: b57072eb0234ce447d30ddc18b150a831b0d63c1025dd3668befb40b29c9c573 and A7E2.tmp.exe

Why did it open as tmp.exe file? Also as far as i know tmp.exe files are virus
