Try and give it a new name and select save as and re-boot.

Running any wireless devices on that machine ? ?
Could it be the new card phoning home to check for updates ? ?
HP products are notorious for this but i've not heard of it happening with a vid card...

None of the above. I even checked the open connections and nothing new added there.

On a side note is it any worse for the system to just be left on all the time? I can use Process Explorer to suspend but it cuts the connections which I need to stay active.
