Why does WLM make my 2nd GPU jump from idle to stock clocks

I un-hooked my PSU today to oil it's rattling fan, and I put everything back together exactly the same.

Then I noticed that whenever I start windows live mail in win7 64-bit, my 2nd 6950 goes from idle 250/150 to full 800/1250, and closing WLM makes it idle again. GPU1 is fine and stays idle.

I ran video in VLC, and run a bunch of tabs in firefox and a utube vid, and GPU1 does its normal thing, and GPU2 stays idle. But again starting WLM makes it goto 800/1250, close WML and back to idle. It launches on a futureshop ad, deleted it and launched on a newegg ad, and switching to a simple text email doesn't change the situation.

I uninstalled MSIAB 2.2.4 and deleted settings, ran ccleaner, rebooted, ran ccleaner and installed 2.2.4, and same problem. It DEFINITELY wasn't doing this yesterday or ever before, I check MSIAB half often and leave WLM running lots of times.

Last system restore was 3 days ago when I installed a star wars game, so no clues there.

No one responded to this guy, that was on 9/18/12

and the main annoyance/problem is that running at 800/1250 makes the temps go from ~35 to 55C with the fan going from 16% @idle to 28%

I have no idea, but maybe you should drop WLM and get another client, say, Thunderbird?

Well it stopped yesterday after the PC went to sleep. So I just fully turned off and now its doing it again.

thanks I un-install and might try that

I have thunderbird, but I just uninstalled and installed WLM and it's doing the exact same thing on my 2nd gpu

strange, I'll stick with thunderbird
