Gpu-z 0.1.8 severe bug!

[KaOSoFt]

I don't really know what it is, but each time I try to run it, it restarts my system.

These are my specifications:

Windows XP Professional x86 Service Pack 2
Drivers 171.17
eVGA GeForce 8800GT 512 MB (latest BIOS from eVGA forums, for those using the Akimbo cooler, like me :))

I can use 0.1.7 perfectly, so I don't really know what it is. In fact, the first time my system reboots after trying 0.1.8, it won't even POST nor let me access the BIOS... I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del so it restarts again, and then everything works like always. Really weird bug.

Please, check again, I don't want to screw my hardware because of a (so far) good software. If you need to know anything else, just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: In fact, it isn't that it doesn't let me restart the system right away, I went close to hear it, and it seems it takes a while to restart another component. I don't know what, but I can hear how it starts passively and then it starts the system normally.

my system reebot on GPU-Z 018 start

submit your result and get me the id

[tDJ]

After restarting my pc it works. But after I used Prassi ONES (only start & shutdown the program without burning), and started GPU-Z again, GPU-Z crashed again.

[orphen193]

submit your result and get me the id

there you go my ID is 9uxup

[tDJ]

Strange, testing this program after using other ones: no problem. After some more time I started GPU-Z and it crashed again...:banghead:

[KaOSoFt]

does this test version fix the reboot bug?
Nope, it also reboots my system.

Thanks.

[W1zzard]

and the original 0.1.7 works?

mine only has the minor problems that all the previous versions have had.

[dwax]

Froze up on me.A sort of splash screen came up and could do nothing. Could not open up the start menu to shut down the PC. Another hard shut down. Ver 1.7 works great.

I can use 0.1.7 perfectly, so I don't really know what it is.

Yes, the executable from that thread works perfectly. The temperatures still don't match RivaTuner or SpeedFan, but it seems to be working so far. Oh, yeah, by the way, temperatures are way lower than what RivaTuner or SpeedFan say. Which one is right, GPU-Z, or others?

[Kursah]

I have noticed that with my X1950xtx and Vista Ult 64, GPU-Z 1.7 and 1.8 no longer read my 3D clocks unless I have 3D mode forced...they both display the 2D clocks and the performance variables, voltages, etc related to the 2D Profile.

In XP I didn't have this issue, both would read the 3D clocks w/o my card needing to go into 3D mode...kind of minor, but interesting to say the least.

I joined to inform the very same problem with GPU-Z 0.1.8
The system config on which I launched the program executable is
XFX GF 8800GT + XFX GF 8600GT multi-GPU system
C2D E6550 processor
Asus P5N-E SLI mobo
2GB 800Mhz Kingston ram

I have had no problems with GPU-Z 0.1.7 but version 0.1.8 restarts my pc on the executable start.
I am checking the version provided in this thread and will report back.

Edit : I checked the executable provided in the thread and my PC restarted.This one also has the bug

Hi again,

I am talking about the splash screen which appears on the windows desktop when GPU-Z 0.1.8 is launched. On this spalsh screen, it is written "GPU-Z", "www.techpowerup.com"...etc.

The problem is that when you close GPU-Z, this spalsh screen doesn't disappear and stays on the windows desktop !!

How to solve ??

I think this splash screen should be removed....

Bye.

[Apocalypsee]

I have the reboot issue. It worked the first time I clicked it, but when I close it again and reopen it again it reboots, and seems never gonna work after that

Geez, the administrator might just be sleeping. Just wait, and stop posting, for God's sake. I would ban you for that...

i had some problems with posting, this is why there is two times the same message at the beginning...

If with only this reason, we can be banned, it should not be so understandable, no ?...:shadedshu

:wtf: You should be able to delete your posts...no sense in leaving that mess you made up there IMO. :shadedshu

Welcome to TPU btw, in a lot of cases we can help ya with your issues, GPU-z is a little different because W1z is the main man behind it, so please be patient and either use an older version or don't use the program until the next update. That's what I recommend for ya, at least for now, I'm certain that bug will be easily fixed and taken care of!

I don't have problems with newer build version of GPU-Z u provided in the thread.

Version 0.1.9 solves my splash screen problem !

Congratulations !

[dwax]
