ALCPU Forums

Ok, since this issue is long gone I guess it's time to unstick this sticky and let it drop off the face of the first page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I've been getting an increasing amount of emails from people who are having problems with Core Temp and they're computers I decided to see if I can find some commonality between the systems as I have yet to find one from the scattered emails/posts across different forums.

What I want to ask is simple:
Post your

CPU and CPU speed settings (HTTxMultiplier)
Motherboard, chipset and driver version
Video card(s) and driver version
Memory and speed settings
OS and Service pack version
Other things you may think could be important that I have not listed

ps...core temp ver. .94beta works fine , it is just the new version .95 that is not showing me TcaseMax and TDP readings. They are grayed out...

While monitoring my temps a moment ago with coretemp the system shut down within a few minutes after starting v.95. The system had been stable otherwise. Don't know the exact cause for sure but thought I should report. Temps were not out of the ordinary.

The shut down is not immediate, my computer may be on for hours. Occurs anytime though, idle to full load, any application.
I've also been having this problem with speedfan 4.32 and CPUz 1.39.

Core Temp 0.94 is back up (check the Core Temp home page). I hope I will be able to get 0.95 back on track sometime soon.

looks like it crashes on AMD K8 CPU, I hope it could be fixed.

Attempting to start Core Temp 0.94 or 0.95 causes the system to stutter for a few seconds, followed by a BSOD. It does not appear to be related to any of the software I am running, including background services (I have stopped any non-essential Windows services, and closed SmartGuardian--the monitoring utility included with my motherboard--prior to running Core Temp).

You can see my specs in my sig. Additional system info:

Using a PS/2 keyboard and a USB wireless mouse.

I don't remember the exact message associated with the BSODs, but if you need me to, I can intentionally cause one or two ( ) so that I can provide the exact STOP message.

When I open v.95 all I get is crashes & reandom BSODs. With V.94 I have no problems at all.

Here's something that I found interesting -
I also run W2K on the same system. CoreTemp v.95 works fine on it.
v.94 works on the XP Pro. Attempting to start v.95 on XP Pro gives an immediate BSOD, and restarts the computer. I'll post a picture of the error as soon as I get one.

Also, I seem to be getting a 10c difference between the v.94 xp, and the v.95 w2k readings.

It would be interesting to know if someone else has the same experience with w2k.

Hope this helps! - Great little utility!

Random shutdown idling or not.

Also, it does not matter if I am overclocked or not crashes happen no matter what CPU and RAM are at.

I just tried Coretemeter and crahsed on that so maybe it is something to do wih a recent Windows update?

coretemp 0.95 switches off computer, maybe it triggers false overtemp alarm

The system is stable, works for hours with dual prime95 tests until i stopped it and saind: it's stable!

the temperature reading of second core seems to be wrong for me, as it should be the same temperature as the first core, when both cores are idle or at full load (prime95).

Looks like all the email regarding this issue comes from systems running AMD.

I have Core Temp 0.95 running fine on Intel E6600 on Intel Badax2. Temp Logging is on and Overheat Warning is Enabled. Core temperatures are always within 1 or 2 degrees of each other. System has never shutdown or had Core Temp Application quit.

Hope all this helps. This is a great little program.

Thnx for all the work.

Coretemp cuts power to both machines randomly, similar problem with speedfan - I stopped using both temporarily.
