I installed the v1.20 client without much fanfare, however the program refuses to launch:
it hangs up @ "Scanning RAID Devices" in my PC No.1 that I would be using the client in,
and I've tried the following to no avail:
1) uninstall and reinstall, restarting each time
2) open with Admin command
3) open with simple double click on program icon/alias
4) open by clicking on program in Program Files, both normal and Admin Commands
I have no idea what is going on, but I still have a copy of Everest Ultimate in the system
and that still works. Is there a conflict there, perhaps? Should I uninstall Everest Ultimate?
I sort of wanted to keep both programs, but if it interferes with AIDA64 then I'll remove it.
My system has twin working RAID volumes, a 2TB boot volume; a 4TB big scratch disk for my audio
and video and sound works in progress, and application installation for Sony Vegas and Pinnacle
Studio...both are RAID 0. I have an Areca 1680IX-8 SAS to eSATA/SATA Hardware RAID Controller that
does all I/O in the OEM machine. It's build on an EVGA Classified E760 motherboard, with the usual
fare, twin GTX-285 video cards in SLI; X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Card; DLink DWA-556 PCI-Express WiFi
network card, etc. It's running an Intel 920 2.67Ghz CPU overclocked to 4.2Ghz on AIR, stable as a
rock since 6/2009, and it runs 12GB of G.Skill 1600Mhz DD3 SDRAM (6x2GB DIMMS).
The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit...if that makes a difference.
That's the rig the client is installed in. Now I do a couple things that may be an issue with AIDA64
that I'll mention now so that any responses toward this might be up front. I run three RAM Discs (VSuite program, xlnt program!) on
the computer, 128MB for Chrome browser; 4GB Scratch Disk; 2GB Scratch Disk--with 12GB RAM I have found
it speeds up my browser about 50% overall, in all areas, and it makes for certain types of file
processing very speedy also. They are dynamic RAM Discs, and do not take up RAM when not being accessed. The 4GB RAM Disc is held in cache, will appear at new or restarts automatically...as is the Chrome browser RAM Disc.
Could AIDA64 be having trouble with the RAM Discs?
It's either that or the Areca controller perhaps, but again, Everest has no issue with any of those items.
That's the basic situation, and I'd love to be running the new program of course, but as it stand I
have not been able to yet. Thanks in advance for any answers and if somebody has a quick solve it would be
very nice!
