Hey

Recently I have noticed my fans ramping up due to an increase in heat when the monitors go into standby mode... When before they were off due to idle activity = no heat.

I checked GPU tweaks monitoring log and it shows a constant 35% GPU useage which stops when I move the mouse and the screens come to life.

Task manage shows no odd programs or services running, checked startup and nothing there, ran a malware and virus scan... Nothing.

Its a newish window install, installed office, steam, Firefox and some other uni work software.

I can't find the issue.... And its bugging me.

Any ideas? :confused:
 
Yea looked on Google, not found anything out that can help. It did this before and a windows reinstall fixed it. I Dont fancy doing that again.

I tried various driver sets, no change.

Is there any software that will monitor programs and create a list of what's running and logs that data?
