Could you provide programming details on how can a 3rd party application read FPS values from Fraps? We've checked out Fraps, but couldn't find such an option there...

Thank you for the feedback

If any of the benchmarks or the System Stability Test causes the system to power off, then it's definitely a hardware flaw that needs to be addressed. If your system is overclocked, then try to restore all settings to their factory default values. Also, updating the motherboard BIOS to the latest one may also help. If those wouldn't help, and you already swapped the PSU, then it could either be a memory (RAM) issue or a motherboard failure. It's quite difficult to diagnose such issues remotely

Please try to update MySQL Connector/ODBC to the latest version.

The kernel driver of AIDA64 is a fixed file, with checksum, digital signature and all that buzz. You cannot load parts of it, but only the whole file. Which is only 30 KiloBytes, so not a big thing at all

Yes, of course such a reverse gauge would be more suited for the drive space items, but we currently have no such gauge designs in AIDA64. We may add such gauge variants soon

1) Does the Database Manager feature of AIDA64 Business Edition work properly on your system or not? 2) What version of MySQL Server do you have installed on your database server? 3) What version of MySQL Connector/ODBC do you have installed on your client computer? 4) What sort of Windows do you have installed on your client computer? Windows 7 SP1? 32-bit or 64-bit kernel? 5) What version/build of AIDA64 Business Edition do you use? Thanks, Fiery

It's not possible to detect that, since every applications (every threads actually) could have a different active keyboard layout. We could detect the active keyboard layout for AIDA64, but it wouldn't be relevant at all for other running applications Regards, Fiery

Thank you for both the XLS and the forum post. We would prefer to wait until you can get confirmation on your chart on the Khronos forum, because non-definitive values and question marks should not be provided in a compliancy test in AIDA64

When you say "VP8: badly failed", what exactly does happen on your system? Do you get a BSoD while running the VP8 benchmark? Or you get very low scores for VP8? (how low? what exact scores do you get?)

AIDA64 loads a bit slow at Windows startup due to its dynamically loaded kernel driver. I'm afraid we cannot fix that, since it's not AIDA64 that gets slow, but Windows itself gets sluggish while loading the dynamic kernel driver of AIDA64. Regards, Fiery

Thank you for the feedback. We have disabled Dell SMI sensor support on Alienware M17xR4 systems.

AIDA64 uses fairly regular Dell SMI calls to measure fan speed and temperature readings on Dell and newer Alienware systems. If you suspect AIDA64 may stop your system from utilizing its fan control logic properly, then please try to disable Dell SMI sensor support in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability, and restart AIDA64 to apply the changes. If that solves the issue, then we will completely disable Dell SMI calls on Alienware M17xR4 systems. So please let us know how your tests go on the replacement system. Thanks, Fiery PS: I'm not sure if Dell SMI calls are the actual problem, since we've only activated them on M17xR4 at AIDA64 Beta Build 2105. So both AIDA64 v2.20.1800 and v2.30.1900 should have the Dell SMI calls not utilized on M17xR4, and so there should be no difference in their behavior...

Thanks Sensor readings will be fixed in the next AIDA64 beta release.

Thank you. I'm sorry to bug you more with dumps, but it seems this board has 2 different sensor chips, 1 more than what we've expected So please also submit a SMBus Dump (Full) dump.

Thank you. Please also copy-paste the full content of the Computer / Sensor page of AIDA64 into this topic.

Please submit an ISA Sensor Dump Thanks!

Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2232nwj7tfz9dlzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps.

No. We only plan to make a full blown version in native 64-bit.

I'm afraid we haven't been contacted, and we haven't been able to find another source of ordering such an enclosure

We used to have plans for a native 64-bit main binary module for AIDA64, but due to many difficulties involving the 32-bit --> 64-bit change, Ansi --> Unicode change, and the compiler change (to Delphi XE3), we had to postpone its development due to development resources constraints. We need to focus more on improving the existing features and existing benchmark methods of AIDA64 before we can make the big step of moving to a 64-bit main binary. I'm afraid I cannot provide you with a release date for that, since it may be well in the future (2014? 2015?)

Thank you. I'm afraid we haven't been able to figure out the cause of the sluggishness on your system so far If it's possible, please try to disable the HWMon Modules one-by-one, and let me know which module you reckon could be behind the slowness. You can disable HWMon Modules in the right-click menu on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window.

Thank you for the feedback

Here's the previously mentioned new AIDA64 beta release: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2232nwj7tfz9dlzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

We've got the SDK, and ordered a DeathStalker Ultimate keyboard from the local Razer distributor. They said delivery is only expected early next year, so please expect the actual development of this feature to commence only in Q1 2013. I'll let you know in this topic how things develop around this feature request.
