@ledvik
If your power supply unit does not have a enough watts for your system (especially the GPU) then the GPU will be straining to get more power. This makes the power % very high and can brick your GPU.
What is your PSU wattage? Mine is 850. I always suggest to people who are first time PC builders to buy a PSU that is 200-300 Watts more than their GPU requirements. My GPU requires a 500W PSU
