PC Processors

[cpurpe91]

I have tried so many different things to get my Power Reporting Deviation (Accuracy) out of the red at idle that I don't know what to do. 

I have read all over the internet that at low load, and idle the metric doesn't matter. It is 95% to 100% under full load. I just want to know how or why it went from over reporting at idle, to under reporting. 

I have flashed the BIOS 3 times each time clearing the CMOS. I have reinstalled Windows 11 3 separate times. I have rolled back chipset drivers, rolled back GPU drivers, ran virus scans, scans for rootkits, run CHKDSK -f -r on both drives, and still I see the metrics in the red. Cinebench R23 multicore score is good for the CPU I have. I can not think of a single method to get my PC back to the state it was in before the metric turned red. 

The machine performs very well. There are no services, or processes putting any real load on my CPU at idle. I am having zero issues with cooling the CPU.

I have only come across one other user thread online that has inquired about it. This user got the same answer I am probably going to get.

Maybe I am being paranoid and Windows just pushed an update that changed something. I am just at my wit's end. How does a machine go from a metric like 200% Power Reporting Deviation (Accuracy) at idle to sometimes 0% at idle, over night? 

I am baffled. I am stumped. Someone please tell me I'm focusing on something that doesn't actually matter. 

I'm confused.
