My HDD failed last night and I had to rebuild.
I've used the same OS and apart from the HDD everything is the same.

Since then the GPU usage has been really low. Currently 28% on GPU 0 and 55% on GPU 1.
All drivers are installed including motherboard and gfx.

Anyone got any suggestions as this is driving me mad.

It's the standard 6.23 GPU3 client, and the only param is -gpu 0/1. No -advmethods.
 
Are you definitely using the GPU3 client as looking at the download page 6.23 is GPU2 and 6.32 is GPU3?

Assuming the cards are OCed, it might be worth running the cards at stock clocks to see if an unstable overclock has anything to do with it.

Only other thing that comes to mind is restarting the client and clearing out the work and queue.dat.
 
Sorry, typo. They are 6.32.
Running them at stock already and have reinstalled both the client and Windows!
 
Ok, solved. Reset BIOS settings to default. No idea what had changed or how, but it's sitting at 99% on both now.
Very very odd.

Frustrating too as I've been struggling with this since last night and have missed out on about 20k points in that time :(
 
Glad it's sorted anyway, very odd I would have never thought to reset the bios settings.
 
Could have been a BIOS glitch, or a safety lockup where system clocks/bus speeds were artificially crippled to prevent further 'suspected' damage. If there is a newer BIOS version out for your motherboard, I would give that a go when you are taking a folding break. I had finnicky BIOS versions in the past and it is not nice to have to troubleshoot them. Glad you got it sorted. :)
