I have the same motherboard with slipkid. My PC config extracted from AIDA64 Extreme 2.00.1720 Beta : -- (1) Abit AN78GS with Motherboard ID : 06/18/2008-NF-MCP78-8A61OA1BC-11. -- (2) Motherboard Chipset : nVIDIA MCP78, AMD K10, -- (3) BIOS : Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG (06/18/08), -- (4) CPU : DualCore AMD Athlon 5000, 2200 MHz (11 x 200), -- (5) Memory : Two sticks of Kingston DDR2-800 1GB RAM, Module Name : Kingston HyperX KHX6400D2LL/1GN, -- (6) GPU : NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (GDDR3 256 MB), Driver Version : 8.17.12.7533 - nVIDIA ForceWare 275.33, -- (7) Hard Disk : Maxtor 6Y120P0 ATA Device (120 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133), -- (8) DVD-Writer : Lite-On Optical Drive ATAPI iHAP322 9 ATA Device, -- (9) OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1 6.1.7601 (Win7 RTM). I ran the Sensor Debug and Video Debug as suggested by Fiery and had identical results as slipkid's. My OS was previously Windows XP Pro 32 bit and had also the same problem when clicked the Sensor page with the "Detecting sensor information ..." prompt displayed indefinitely until I closed the program or clicked other page. So OS was not the problem here. I believed this bug (IMHO) was inherited from Everest Ultimate Edition (EUE) but this EUE was even worse. I couldn't get into the Preferences page UNLESS I changed (edited manually) the everest.ini option from LowLevelSensor=1 to LowLevelSensor=0. After doing this then I could get into the Preferences page and by doing this all I got under Sensor Icons page were System values ie CPU/HyperTransport/North Bridge/Memory Clock and CPU/Memory/GPU Utilization. Other values such as Temperatures for MoBo/CPU/MCP/GPU/HDD, Cooling Fans for CPU/Chassis/Pwr Supply, Fan Speeds for GPU and Voltages for CPU Core/+3.3V/+5V/+12V/VBAT Batt/+5V Standby/GPU Core were unavailable. The AIDA64 Extreme v2.00.1720 Beta the one that I used suffered from the same phenomena. I agreed with Slipkid that the Everest Home free edition amazingly showed some values in the Sensor page albeit only the temperature of the CPU and HDD, at least something. Perhaps the sensor chip on this MoBo Abit AN78GS, Winbond/Nuvoton W83627DHG has incompatibility/conflict issues with the dll file aida_mondiag.dll and/or everest_mondiag.dll. What baffle me is other sensor monitoring softwares such as HWiNFO64, HWMonitor and SpeedFan can display all the vital values without problem. IF my Abit MoBo is the culprit then I will have to make do with what is available with AIDA64 Extreme, forget the sensor page and use other stuff such as the Benchmark page which I use regularly to rank my DIY PCs. Since Abit has closed business in December 2008, there is no chance for us Abit MoBo owners to update the BIOS.
