  1. GPU Idle Higher on Battery?


    My normal GPU idle is about 139MHz; but when it's on battery-saver the GPU idle is 608MHz. Something about the 'battery saver' power option is increasing the GPU idle to 608MHz. This is destroying battery life and making the system run at much higher idle temperature. Help? System: Dell Inspiron 7000 Gaming 7567

    Windows 10 using GPU constantly when idling

    Yesterday I upgraded from Windows 8.1. Since then I see in HwiNFO that when Windows is idling the "GPU Memory Controller Load" is always going to a steady 4%. I discovered this when I saw that the average
    temperature of the GPU VRM was 10C higher than the idle temperature under Windows 8.1.

    In Process Explorer there are three processes that use GPU memory when Windows is idle: ShellExperienceHost.exe SearchUI.exe and explorer.exe.

    Has anyone seen this behaviour also?

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.


    Step 1

    1. Shutdown your laptop.

    2. Remove the battery.

    3. Connect the AC power adapter to your laptop.

    4. Power on the laptop

    5. Open the Device Manager by typing Devmgmt.msc into Start Menu or from Control Panel.

    6. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
