"GPU Power" sensor on 5090 frozen randomly

Not sure what's causing this, but at some point during the day, the GPU Power sensor freezes and stops reporting the GPU power. Second time this has happened today. Restarting Hwinfo doesn't fix it. Only restarting or sleep + wake from sleep do. Doesn't seem to happen in other software as far as I can tell.

Actually, I did have GPU-Z open for a bit and the Nvidia APP seems to also have it's own monitoring stuff. Could that be why? It was only frozen in HWInfo though, everything else was showing the correct gpu power.

NVIDIA drivers are providing the power value. But there should be also other power sensors in HWiNFO, have you maybe hidden them? Wondering whether they will change.

Yeah, I have some of the sensors hidden. I'll unhide them and wait to see if it happens again, I guess.

Well it's been a few days and it literally has not happened again so....problem solved I guess

Ok so it has happened a few more times since my last post, and I've realized that it sometimes happens when I enable or disable gsync for whatever reason...
