  1. As I wrote above, you should run the stability test for at least half an hour.  If your system can stand it for half an hour without overheating, than your CPU is fine.  After the first test you may also want to enable the GPU subtest to check whether your video card is overheating under heavy load.  If any visual artifacts appear on the screen while running the FPU+GPU stress test, or your video driver resets or reports an error, or the computer turns off / restarts, then there's a hardware issue.  Otherwise, I'd say it must be some sort of software or configuration problem.

  2. Such issue may be due to CPU overheating or video card overheating, or due to video driver (Catalyst) issues:

    You can check if your CPU is overheating under heavy load if you launch AIDA64, go to main menu / Tools / System Stability Test, enable only the FPU subtest, press the Start button.  Watch the bottom graph: even after half an hour of heavy stressing, the CPU Throttling graph should still stay at 0% (means no throttling activity, means no CPU overheating).

  3. 1) Yes, there may be some background services left after AI Suite II uninstallation.  You can find more info about AI Suite issues in the following forum topic:

    You can find info on how to remove the AI Suite services at:

    2) In case AIDA_CPUID.DLL wasn't replaced with the new version during the automatic upgrade process, then please try to manually upgrade to the latest AIDA64 beta by downloading the ZIP package from:

     

    http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2430wz0k3xtrlnzip
     

    Close AIDA64, extract the ZIP package to the existing installation folder.  Let it overwrite any existing files.  Both your current configuration settings and your license will be retained.

  4. 1) Are you sure you've properly performed the upgrade to Beta 2430?  Please check the file size of AIDA_CPUID.DLL, it should be 3123528 bytes (2.98 MBytes) long.  If it's correct, then please post your AIDA64.INI file so we can check it out with both the previous AIDA64 beta release and the current one.

     

    2) Even if you disable the auto-start feature in AIDA64, the Logitech LCD Manager may still auto-start AIDA64 ;)  Make sure to disable that feature in LCD Manager.

     

    3) Stability issues on Asus ROG boards are usually caused by collisions between AI Suite II and AIDA64.  We've asked Asus numerous times to implement the same industry standard synchronization techniques that would assure AI Suite II could work well with other monitoring software, but they refuse to cooperate with other software developers.  BTW, AI Suite II collides with not just AIDA64, but other monitoring and tweaking software as well, like CPU-Z, HWiNFO32/64, HWMonitor, SpeedFan, etc.

  5. That's because you manually have to set the Type field for your gauges to either Black (Reverse) or White (Reverse).  We've chosen the manual way because for example for cooling fans some of us prefer to have the "red" region in the bottom of the scale (to indicate too slowly spinning fans), while others may prefer to have the "red" region at the end of the scale (to indicate too high RPM).

  6. @Fiery,

     

    I know you have been very busy, but I was wondering if any progress was being made regarding fixing the disk usage issue?

     

    Thanks, and keep up the excellent work.

     

    We've implemented reverse gauges in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

     

    http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2430wz0k3xtrlnzip

     

    After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

     

    Let me know how it works ;)

  7. There seems to be a bug in Logitech Gaming Software under Windows 8 that sometimes prevents AIDA64 from detecting the connected devices.  We'll do more test runs with the latest Logitech Gaming Software, and will try to come up with a workaround until Logitech could fix it from their end.

  8. First of all, please note that only locally connected drives can be interrogated by the SMART layer of AIDA64.  Remote drives are not supported.

     

    In case you drive is connected locally, then make sure to have both RAID options enabled in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability, and that you're running the latest beta release of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

     

    http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2419txgzqv3nwhzip
     

    If it still doesn't work, then please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Disk Debug --> RAID Dump.  Copy-paste the full results into this topic.


    Thanks,

    Fiery

  9. AIDA64 uses standard Windows internert access API (wininet.dll) to download updates information and update packages using HTTP protocol.  It uses standard Windows proxy configuration, but beyond that it has no control over the actual network adapter, network layer or network route Windows picks to download the necessary files from AIDA64 servers.  So I'm afraid currently we cannot limit AIDA64 NetUpdate to specific network connections.
