I recently bought a MSI GTX 970 and I tought everything was fine. The only problem I thought I had was that I got a black screen for 2 minutes with B2 listed on the bottom right of the screen while starting windows completly skipping the bios menu. I fixed this by flashing the MSI motherboard bios which solved the issue competely.
However I do have a new problem now and i'm not sure wheather this existed before the bios update or not.
The problem I have now is my GPU power usage when idle. When my pc is idle with no programs running I get a 47% power usage at all times which causes the gpu temperature to rise to 57c - 60c at all times. My gpu and cpu usage is 0% up to 2% when I open any internet browser.
So basicly my gpu power usage with every program closed in the taskmanager is 47% which cause my cards temperature to rise to 60c degree when idle. I tried to disable any process in the taskmanager with no results.
But it gets stranger, When I restart my pc the power usage is restored to 0 - 10% and my cards temp gets back to 38c. However 2 minutes after restarting and not touching anything the power usuage instantly rise to 47% and it stays there.
I have no idea what is causing this :/ It might be a virus? defect in card?
Here is what I mean http://i57.tinypic.com/egr30n.jpg
And this is after startup, power gets from 10 to 47% for no reason, gpu usage and cpu usage 0% and cpu temp 34c

Also when I restart my pc, my gpu fan goes crazy during the restart like it wants to force the temperature to idle mode.
