In case you don't have any RAID arrays defined and you don't have any external storage devices connected, then you can try disabling RAID member enumeration and RAID SMART support in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability. You need to restart AIDA64 after altering those options. Regards, Fiery

Then maybe it's the ForceWare, or some other drivers. Or maybe the RST drivers can still cause issues, even when a software only uses Windows standard ATA calls (?) Afterall, those calls have to go through the storage controller drivers anyway.

Please make sure to downgrade to the latest RST WHQL release, and use AIDA64 latest beta with that. Or, you could disable RAID member enumeration and disable RAID SMART support in AIDA64 to make sure it doesn't talk to the RST driver via the RAID interface.

Thank you for lettings us know about that. Please note that the three AIDA_ICONSxx.DLL files only contain icons as resources, so no executable code are in them. They're like big containers for a bunch of icons Regards, Fiery

It would be great if you could downgrade to AIDA64 v2.30 (since you say it worked fine), and use it for a few days. If it still works well, then we could say something definitely went wrong since v2.30. But in case it also produces the issue, then it's more likely a driver issue (e.g. Intel RST or ForceWare) or some sort of software collision.

Then all you can do is blame Windows for that The current logic for uptime in Windows is that it shows the time elapsed since Windows boot. So if you put your computer to sleep for hours, those hours will be included in the uptime.

AIDA64 now uses the same method to measure UpTime than Task Manager does. Please check if AIDA64's UpTime matches Task Manager's or not. Thanks, Fiery

Here's the new AIDA64 Extreme Edition beta update with the battery voltage limits fixed: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2013jdgxb3fcslzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2013jdgxb3fcslzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it works better than the previous UpTime measurement solution. Thanks, Fiery

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2013jdgxb3fcslzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. Make sure to scroll down to the very bottom of the OSD Items list to try finding the previously missing items for NIC#5 and NIC#6.

We've added the requested Preferences menu item to the System Tray right-click context menu, and also made the Preferences remember the last used page.

Even without running HDSentinel you could try disabling SMART support in AIDA64 to see if that portion of AIDA64 causes the issues or not. Then re-enable SMART support and disable GPU sensor support to see if maybe that portion is the one behind the headaches.

I'm not sure what sort of installer did it download and run, because the automatic update process doesn't involve any installer. It simply downloads the update in a ZIP package, extracts the ZIP content and copies the files over the old ones. All of it should go automatically, without user intervention. The only user interaction is necessary before AIDA64 restarts itself to finish up the auto-update. That restarting of AIDA64 is required to let AIDA64 replace its own main executable binary (AIDA64.EXE) with the new one. Neither AIDA64 or the auto-updater portion of it would alter any directory permissions. So I'm not sure how things could go south on your system The only thing I can think of is some sort of 3rd party application, maybe an anti-virus software would block one or more steps of the AIDA64 automatic update process, and/or would quarantine either the old files or the new files, and so changed the directory permissions to block you out from the "malware" that it thinks AIDA64 is. What you may try to do is start Windows in safe mode, and completely remove all AIDA64 related files and folders. Then install AIDA64 v2.50 from scratch, and hopefully it will then work properly.

Please export your SensorPanel settings (right-click on the SensorPanel --> SensorPanel Manager --> Export button) into a file, and attach the .sensorpanel file into a message in this topic. We'll check your settings and provide you a solution. Thanks, Fiery

Thank you. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2003g7xvjmls4zzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Using this new beta release, please create and submit a new ISA Sensor Dump. We've added a bit more data for your system to that dump.

Thanks for the info. In order to check if it is caused by a conflict between HD Sentinel and AIDA64, it would be great if you could temporarily disable SMART support in AIDA64. It would make it much easier to diagnose this if we could narrow it down to either the SMART issue or the GPU (video driver) issue.

I'm afraid we haven't found a reason behind the fan issue on your system. Everything looks good in the dumps, so we're kinda stuck

1) Do you have any of the hardware monitoring features of AIDA64 enabled? (e.g. SensorPanel, Logging, OSD Panel) 2) Do you use Windows 7 64-bit SP1? 3) What kind of video card(s) do you have? Any SLI or CrossFire configurations? 4) What version of AIDA64 and video driver do you have installed? 5) What motherboard and CPU do you have? 6) Does the problem persist if you disable SMART support? (AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability / Low-level SMART operations) Note: you need to restart AIDA64 after altering that option. 7) Does the problem persist if you disable GPU sensor support? (AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability / GPU sensor support) Note: you need to restart AIDA64 after altering that option. Thanks, Fiery

While we receive the response from Intel, can you please do a little test for us? 1) With ECC enabled, right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> System Debug --> PCI Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. 2) Disable ECC in the BIOS Setup 3) Create a new PCI Dump and post it here. That data may help us to better understand which IMC register controls the ECC function. Thank you for your time.

That's actually one of the reasons we've developed and still fine-tune the SensorPanel feature. It can easily replace other solutions that may or may not work properly, or not updated anymore.

Quite frankly, we've already contacted Intel several times concerning various bugs in Intel RST and RST Enterprise drivers, so they're well aware of the quality of those drivers As far as we understand, they work very hard on the next major WHQL update for both drivers.
