Thank you Fiery. I just installed the latest v6.32 to see if it makes a difference - same blue screen while detecting sensors. My P4B533 is running the final BIOS 1015.003 dated 2003(!), and I completely uninstalled and re-installed Catalyst 12.4 AGP hotfix but no change. Something in the sensor-related code in teh transition from AIDA 5 to 6 caused an incompatibility with my particular ancient AGP motherboard/configuration. No version prior to 6.00 and no other piece of software that I recall ever caused blue screens on this machine since I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 back in 2013, while every new AIDA version after 5.99 now causes a crash during sensor detection. Did you perform your test with an AGP or PCIE HD4670 model? I already tried toggling various stability preferences that I figured could be relevant (SMBus access through ACPI, GPU fan speed, waking up GPU, etc.), can you think of anything else I could try or any logs that could assist pinpoint the reason for the reliable blue screen behavior?

Windows 7 32-bit. Thank you.

Hello Fiery, Every AIDA64 version after v5.99 (so starting with v6.00) triggers a BSoD on my ancient Asus P4B533 once I navigate to Computer -> Sensor or when try to launch the System Stability Test. Conversely, there is never a BSoD and zero sensor issues after uninstalling any of the newer versions and reverting to AIDA64 v5.99.4900. I have never experienced any BSoD with any AIDA64 version prior to v6.00, I have not made any hardware or driver changes to this old PC in many years, and no other software causes a BSoD. I suspect there was a sensor-related code change in the transition from 5.99 to v6.00 that is not compatible with one of the drivers in my computer. I didn't keep track of the "Technical Information" in the blue screens with each new version 6 AIDA64 release to see if it always the same, but when I installed 6.30.5500 just today to see if the issue by chance has been fixed (it hasn't), the specific error is STOP: 0x00000116, apparently caused by driver atikmpag.sys. My video card is a HIS Radeon HD 4670 IceQ AGP running Catalyst 12.4 AGP hotfix for 8 or so years as nothing newer is available. Again, reverting to AIDA64 v5.99.4900 100% takes care of this issue, never a BSoD and the sensor values display without issue. Any idea what is causing this and which AIDA64 setting I could try to change to see if the BSoD problem goes away? Thank you.

Fiery, Thank you very much for looking into this. The specs of your Gigabyte GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD are very close to my Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O6G card, so it is quite bizarre that the GPU stability test always causes the display driver to crash with Event ID 4101 (screen goes blank for a few seconds, then comes back with message that the display driver successfully recovered, but AIDA64 thinks the test is still running and will not let me close the stress test window), yet the GPGPU benchmark within the same application, the LuxMark 3.1 OpenCL benchmark/stress test, 3DMark. GPU-Z, graphic-intensive games like RotTR, etc. run without problem and I never experience driver crashes elsewhere. Other things I tried since my last post: Uninstalled ForceWare driver through Programs and Features in Control Panel, reboot, 2nd cleanup pass with DDU in safe mode, reboot, manually removed one leftover Khronos key incl. subkeys from registry per your guidance for Cat_in_window above, installed ForceWare 378.92 => no change Uninstalled AIDA64, reboot, manually removed all remaining folders/files under C:\Program Files (x86)\FinalWire\, fresh reinstall of latest version, re-entered product key but did not touch any AIDA64 settings (so everything at factory default) => no change Flashed GTX 1060 video adapter with backup of original BIOS (I previously flashed the card with a BIOS update from Asus that enables 0 RPM feature during low GPU utilization/temperature) => no change At this point I pretty much reached the end of my wisdom. If you have any other ideas/suggestions/debug aids or know of a code difference between the GPU stability test and the GPGPU benchmark that could explain why on the same hardware/environment one always works and the other one never, please let me know. Again, this is an ancient Asus P5E motherboard with Intel X38 chipset, PCIe 2.0 x16 interface (the video card is PCIe 3.0), 3GHz Core 2 Quad and 8 GB DDR2 1066, but since the rig runs everything except for the AIDA64 GPU stability test I don't think age of the MB is the problem. As it turns out, my issues were rooted in the timeout detection and recovery (TDR) feature of WIndows 7 and the AIDA64 GPU stability test happens to be the only application on my machine that exceeds the 2 second response limit which causes Windows to reset the display driver. I added a new DWORD "TdrDelay" under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers with an arbitrary value of 8 (seconds), rebooted and problem solved! GPU stability test runs just fine now and heats the card from 36 deg C to a maximum of around 70 deg C after a few minutes. I'm all set. Thank you again.

I am still experiencing the same issue in the new AIDA64 version 5.90. Fiery, I'd appreciate if you can run a quick GPU stability test with a ***GTX 1060 6GB*** (no other internal or second display adapter) on ***Windows 7 64-bit*** and report your findings. Thank you.

Similar situation here. Immediately after I start a GPU stability test, my video driver crashes with Event ID 4101 "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My video card is a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (Pascal) on Windows 7 64 Bit, and I get the same result with driver 378.78 and 372.90 (did a complete uninstall with DDU prior to installing the older driver). Running a GPGPU benchmark works fine, I can loop 3DMark and play games like Rise of the Tomb Raider all day long, my rig is ancient (Core 2 Quad 3.0 GHz on Asus P5E with 8GB DDR2-1066) but rock solid, not overclocked, low CPU (24 degC idle) and GPU temps (34 degC @ 0 RPM idle) and this is the first time I experienced a video driver crash since I installed the GTX 1060 approximately two months ago. I looked through the "Manage 3D Settings" section in the NVIDIA Control Panel to see if there are any OpenCL-related options. There is a setting "CUDA - GPUs" that I tried both with value "All" and "None" (by unticking the GPU) but doesn't make any difference. Please let me know if you can think of anything else I could try and in case you guys happen to have a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB laying around, please confirm that the GPU stability test definitely works for you under Windows 7 64 Bit (and which driver you are using). Thank you. Edit: For good measure, I downloaded the LuxMark 3.1 OpenCL benchmark/stability test (http://www.luxmark.info) and all 3 models render without error. At this point I am convinced the AIDA64 GPU stability test needs a patch to run on GTX 1060 under Windows 7 64 Bit, at least for recent drivers including 378.78 and 372.90. Fiery, would be good if you could look into this and please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Fiery, the latest beta 3.00.2546 did the trick and the CPU and chassis fan speeds are now correct. Thank you very much for your help!

Fiery, I tested the latest beta 3.00.2536 and there is no change in RPM readings compared to the previous version 3.00.2529 (CPU and chassis are still revered). Below a copy of the sensor panel, however, the CPU fan actually runs at ~2,300 RPM and the chassis fan at ~1,700 RPM: Please let me know what you find out.

Thank you Fiery. I just installed the latest beta 3.00.2529 and we are almost there - fan speeds are now shown, but the RPM readings on the CPU and the chassis fan are reversed (CPU should be chassis and chassis should be CPU). Not sure if it helps, but I stumbled upon these entries in a configuration file for Asus PC Probe (AsusPb.ini): Thank you again.

Hello, AIDA64 (I'm running version 3.00.2500 under Windows 7 32-bit) does not show any fan speed readings on my rather antiquated Asus P4B533 except for the GPU fan. I already tried disabling all but the first 7 items under Preferences -> Stability and also tried disabling the "Fan divisor configuration" setting, to no avail. The CPU and chassis fan speed is shown in Asus PC Probe (the "original" PC Probe from back in the days, I didn't try PC Probe II). Please advise. Thank you.
