I am seeing minor CPU activity and VERY high GPU temps when not running any other GPU-using apps with this module: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\acemd2_6.13_windows_intelx86__cuda31.exe

Currently running version 6.10.58 on an AMD x64 machine with a GTX 260 video card. Obviously, the "run GPU tasks while machine is in use" box is not checked. This has been an ongoing problem for some time, anyone know of a fix?

Make sure that boinctray.exe is running. Boinctray.exe is the idle detection program which BOINC uses to start and stop science applications that should only run when the computer is not in use.
