    I have 2 problems with my Msi GT72.
    1: The Gpu "GTX 980m" utilization goes to 100% when I tab down a game!
    2: When the computer the screen turns off after a few minutes of being idle, the fans on the computer runs at MAX for about 10 seconds every 2nd minute?

    I'd appriciate help from anyone to solve these 2 issues :)

    Hi !

    I don't get it, you mean going back to the dekstop with the game running in the background ? Some games freeze, some continue running, It's a normal behavior I'd say.

    For your second problem, try updating the EC, it may help

    Both of those situations sound completely normal. Monitor your CPU usage as well, I suspect that when you idle your computer, it starts processing something that causes temps to build up and thus the fans start revving up.

    You can always look for updates though, to see if anything is mentioned regarding the fan control.
