Downloaded and deleted Ghelper, laptop has much higher idle power usage

hey guys,

so i have an hp omen 16 with 7840hs, 16gb ram, rtx 4060.

so i downloaded ghelper just to see if it worked ( i know it's not supported officially), and i deleted it after that. I have also deleted its config files. Now my laptop consistently uses 15-20w of power at idle, browsing and other apps, whereas it used only 7-10w before this. This is while running on battery saver.

CPU uses around 3-7w at currently, and i've noticed my gpu keeps waking up repeatedly. like every 2 seconds. It's quite possible that not that, but i'm not sure.

Things i've tried, 1. reinstalled graphics drivers, both nvidia and amd

2. reset power power plan

3. deleted the ghelper config file

4. reset bios to defaults

5. no system restore points available

IDK what to do now, another thing i've noticed is that i'm getting video memory error crashes at complete idle more often. Before it was once or twice in a week or so. While today alone (it's 10am rn, i turned it on at 7am) and i already have 4 crashes today.
