Is Windows allowed to turn off the card to save power? There should be a setting for that in the card's power management properties.

no power savers at all

onley power saveingit does is spins the fans down from 10k RPM to 1k RPM when its cool enough at night and when the power goes out the server spinds downs the drives in both arrays and the front back plane untill power is back.
