GPU running at max clock speed when idle

[NeonRD1]

Hi,
I noticed after installing a new driver that my GPU runs at max clock speed (645 mhz), even when idle. Both the memory and gpu clock speeds are maxed out, but when I run GPU-Z, the clock speeds settle down to normal idle speeds after a few seconds. Is this a fluke or is there something wrong? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.

My GPU is a Nvidia GeForce GT 640M.

Probably because the GPU isn't that powerfull and it just needs the power to run everything smooth. [not sure though]

It wasn't like this before, which is why I'm concerned.

When booting you will notice that CPU jumps to max speed and sometimes takes some time to "settle down" after booting....especially if you have a monitoring program running.

What is your GPU usage? And CPU Usage (while idle)

0% GPU usage, 4% CPU Usage while idle

Uninstall latest version of Geforce Experience (2.3.10.) and install older version that you can get from Nvidia site (2.2.2.)
I had a similar problem, give it a try

Don't have it installed at all

Hi,

I had the same problem with my fx6300 processor, after a long research , I came to know its some thing to do with my BIOS settings, I reset my bios to default settings and I could solve the issue without spending a dime on it
