I have a ATI 5870 video card on a EVGA x58 FTW mb with a Intel Extreme 980x processor 12gb balistic memory and Revo SSD drive with Windows 7 plus a couple ssd arrays and velociraptor array. For whatever reason especially after locking my pc and coming back the GPU spikes to 99% and stays there is there any program or utility to track this down? I dont play games on this machine but I do video editing and I can tell something is using the GPU because screen refreshes really crawl. I have updated the drivers to every new release including the latest released on 5/9/11. There is nothing in the task manager using up processor time so dont get what is going on. Any ideas on what to try to troubleshoot this are welcome. The odd thing is even though the utilization goes up the temp never goes above 49 c.
