Hi there all, I'm kind of in a pickle right now and I've not looked to see if anyone has had a similar issue to me because I'm mainly posting this thread before going off to sleep. However recently I've noticed that one of my graphics cards are under load at all times, I have two GTX1080Ti K|NGP|N Editions and to counter this, I've tried updating my drivers, Using DDU (Display Driver Unistaller) to start from a clean slate, removed one of my cards from the computer but it was the one having issues, checked my Task Manager to see what is causing my graphics card to be at load and nothing came up. Nothing came up also for when I downloaded Process Manager. Now me leading to posting this topic is due to my case worsening, when I was playing a game before my computer full on crashed and restarted. Then I tried going back into the same game and it crashed my game multiple times but luckily it didn't do a hard crash. Hopefully someone can help me with this and thank you in advance, Lee

Here are the top causes of why a GPU would run at full clocks at idle... #1 You're running multiple monitors. Fix: Enable mutil display power saver using nvidia inspector.#2 Your machine has a virus. Fix: Scan computer using malwarebytes.#3 One or more programs running in the background are using your GPU. Fix: Perform a clean boot of windows.#4 Power management mode inside the nvidia control panel is set to prefer maximum performance. Fix: Set power management mode to adaptive then reboot your computer.#5 Running a resolution of 2560x1440 @ 144Hz. Fix: Change refresh rate to 120Hz.#6 K-Boost is enabled inside Precision X. Fix: Disable K-Boost.#7 Shadowplay is enabled inside geforce experience. Fix: Disable shadowplay inside geforce experience OR completely uninstall geforce experience from your machine (highly recommended) The game crashing may be coming from an unstable factory overclock on the cards. Do #3 listed here to see if it helps stop the game crashing.

I appreciate the help, I've tried the Nvidia Inspector "fix" so far. Just looking through them, for the clean boot of Windows. Would that wipe my files?

No, a clean boot will not wipe your files.

Alright, that's fine. I'll do that if it comes to it but right now the temperatures are down along with the loads so that's a relief. Just "hopefully" let it stay that way. I appreciate the help and I'll reference back to this.

Seeing as I'm a new member, user "bcavnaugh" I can't privately message you. However I'm using the K|NGP|N theme, I presume that it's a limited edition or exclusive only to K|NGP|N card owners. Sorry for any inconvenience and hopefully you see this message.

Well unfortunately my issue hasn't resolved, I just blue-screened for the first time now. Trying to speak with Microsoft using virtual chat to find the cause, they're recommending the clean boot seeing as that's what I said to them that you told me.

I've just performed the clean boot, just going to test my computer in some games to see if the issue still occurs. If not, I'll just continue to follow the steps on Microsoft's website:

Whenever I do a clean boot and I'm following these steps in the article which I'm unable to post, it tells me to uncheck the top half of my msconfig startup and if that doesn't work, do the bottom. My computer restarts and then it says "ITBM Driver Not Available Exiting Application" which I believe is due to Turbo Mode? I disabled Turbo Mode due to it apparently helping with performance in one of my games, could that be down to my issue do you think?

Also doesn't know if it means anything but whenever I'm in the game, the monitor that the game is on flickers for a second like white noise/static.

I re-enabled Turbo Mode in my BIOS settings, the same issue is occurring unfortunately. I was getting a similar issue about a year back on my GTX760 so I upgrade to a GTX1060 but now we're here.

Been on the Microsoft Support chat for the third time, they recommended me to reinstall my drivers again but manually so that's what I'm doing. This time, I'm using the drivers before the most recent ones. Lets see how it performs.

Forgot to mention this, due to me reinstalling my drivers manually now the load issue has returned but no crashes so far "fingers crossed" right now.

Still having issues with it, crashing and I have a load at all times now unfortunately. I'm thinking of trying to manually install my drivers two drivers before the recent one.

Try a normal install of the drivers but choose the clean installation. This is located in the custom installation option.

Already doing that each time I installed the new drivers unfortunately.

Just installed the driver that's two drivers behind the recent one, nothing has changed via my load and GPU clock and memory clock.

For some reason when I start a game up, the load goes down on the graphics card but it's still fluctuating.

Blue-screened again for the second time, I went into my BIOS and just applied default optimised settings and kept my DRAM frequency at 3000MHz to see if that does anything. If not, I guess I'm going to try out and use another cable from my PSU for my graphics card to see if that helps.

Crashed again, not as quickly this time. Going out right now so I'll probably try to change the cables once I'm back.

May I suggest changing the "Power Management Mode" from "Optimal Power" to "Maximum Performance" to see if that makes any difference? Is you Power settings for Windows set to Maximum Performance?

It was originally set to "Optimal Power" and then Sajin recommended me to try and put it on "Adaptive" so I'll give that a shot, thanks. Seeing as I can't post two consecutive posts after one another right now, I just did it and it's not turned down the load on my graphics card. I may have to follow some of the steps that Sajin recommended beforehand but keep my power setting in NVIDIA Control Panel on Maximum.

To try and fix your blue screen issue I would recommend...
#1 Setting your ram speed to 2666 MHz.
#2 Running your cards in debug mode.
