So my gpu a gtx 570 is going to p2 randomly and then it wont go either up to full clock or go down to idle clock, i have tested the usual suspects, temps, reinstalled drivers several times, downloaded programs to see if the perfcap reason was power but it keeps saying that its the gpu thinking its idle, i have had this problem before and never quite got the hang of how to fix it as it seems quite random

(i just saw and tested that this happens when i close chrome, so the computer starts with the gpu always at 100% even if idle and then if i go to chrome and close chrome it downclocks until i restart the pc)

Well I mean, basically.. No point of using the full GPU power when nothing is running. Chrome is needy and likes every resource it can get. Mine does that too, Chrome likes to use a decent bit of my GPU, but when I close it, it drops down.
