PC Idle & Fan Noise Diagnoser for Efficient Background Operation
Many PC users experience unwanted CPU activity, heat, and fan noise when their computer is supposed to be idle or in a low-power state, especially when the monitor is off. This SaaS solution would be a desktop application that monitors system processes, power states, and component usage (CPU, GPU, storage) to identify the specific applications or background tasks preventing true idle.

This fills a niche for users who want quiet, efficient PCs even when not actively using them, but struggle to pinpoint the cause of unnecessary activity.
