Question Quadro M2200 (Dell Precision 7520) Stuck on Idle...I'm stumped

[boddole]

More or less the tile...The card sits at its base clock and 99% usage but never changes.

I've tried 3 different driver versions (Dells latest, Nvidia DCH(?) latest, Nvidia 'normal' latest) - no difference
Tired changing power options in Nvidia Control Panel - no difference
Card isn't close to overheating
Nothing obviously wrong in BIOS

I've got nothing at this point, any ideas are appreciated.

plug in or battery only?
power profile is performance?

 

[boddole]

Plugged in, made sure to check that.

Power profile is 'balanced' - its the only option

Xeon E3-1545m V5 cpu running normally on benchmarks as far as I can tell.

 

[rgd1101]

is that the power profile from dell or windows?

I'm assuming its from Windows (see pic). I should note that I actually added 'high performance' to that list - no difference. And I'll also note that dragging the 'battery settings' UI in Windows to 'maximum performance' also does nothing.
