    with everything closed and my laptop at 20% utilization, I have 70c for my cpus and 90c on my gtx 780 from my msi dragon.

    This only happened ever since I had windows 10, normally when Idle the GPU is not in use and the cpu is at 40c.

    This is seriously bad and I need help, any way to downgrade to windows 8.1 again?

    Which nVIDIA Driver are you using? 355.82 had a serious bug which keeps the GPU @ max load even when not playing games.

    Is that just for Windows 10 only? I installed that driver on my Windows 8.1 desktop with a GTX 770.

    Edit: nvm, I checked and I used 355.98 which was just released.
