Comments, anyone?

Has it ever occurred to you that "SmartDoctor" is the culprit?
Uninstall that malware and see if that helps.

It may well be, but I don't know of any other software that will
monitor my graphics card.

After having said that I had a look for alternatives to SmartDoctor,
and there don't seem to be many alternatives for monitoring graphics
cards. I installed NVidia's own suite and found that my card, an 8800
GT I bought a couple of years ago, does not have its temperature or
fans monitored by this suite. I'm not looking for overclocking
control -- just monitoring with audible alarm if something is not
working.
