[SOLVED] GTX 660ti at full load after restart
I have recently bought a EVGA GTX 660ti 3GB SC to put in my old computer. The computer is getting quite old so i thought id put a 660ti in it. Its just a consumer level PC i bought, its a Gateway DX4840 and i don't know any of the hardware in it because i didn't build it...
What i do know is that it has a 660ti that i just put in and a Antec NEO ECO 520w power supply. The problem i am having is that after i restart the computer the card is running at full load no matter what i am doing on the PC. On the desktop the GPU usage is at like 97%. The temperature also rises at about 75c and game performance is cut in half.In order to fix this issue i have to reinstall the drivers(310.90) and the card returns to normal operation(load goes back down, temps, clock speed,etc). When i first got this card a couple months ago i don't remember having the issue but its been happening for awhile now and i cant get it to stop, EVERY TIME i restart the PC. Ive tried completely removing the drivers following the instructions on the techPowerUp forums, I've tried different drivers and still i getting this issue. I don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated.
