Definitely check the cooler, as I said above. Check if it's mounted properly, and if it's warm to the touch. If you find either of those to be not the case, remount the cooler. Reapplying thermal paste is not a must if there's enough paste left, and it doesn't really matter for testing. But if...

While this is certainly true, it doesn't matter at all when you run a CPU stress test like Prime95, CPU-Z's benchmark, CineBench or similar. The GPU doesn't do anything during these tests. When the CPU hits its max temp this fast, you have a CPU cooling issue. Regards Dalai

That sounds like a cooling issue to me. Even if I consider warm ambient temperatures and an AMD stock cooler, the CPU shouldn't hit its max temp in under 30 seconds. Check if the cooler is warm to the touch. If not, it's not mounted properly. Maybe the cooler contact to the IHS somehow changed...

That sounds like the system wakes to check for Windows updates. You can run HWiNFO in Sensors mode in the background (and start the logging within it) before putting the system to sleep. That way, HWiNFO should continue to log once the system wakes. But I also have my doubts that it's due to...

While I don't rule out the possibility of the PSU being bad, I suggest to try things that are free first. It's possible that a bad connection somewhere changes resistance, thus causing a change in voltage. It could be as simple as one of the main ATX cable's pins slipped out of the connector...

One thing that immediately stood out to me: The voltage on the 5V rail is starting to rise far too high after the 6:40 minute mark into the log! Voltages are supposed to be within +/- 5% of their nominal values, but in your case the 5V goes beyond 5.6V, thus exceeding 10% tolerance. If this...

Well, as a workaround, you can use external search engines. Google and DuckDuckGo support a syntax like this:<your_search_terms> site:hwinfo.comwhere <your_search_terms> might be "tRC" in your example. Keep in mind that words with fewer than three characters might lead to too many search results...

Check Windows Task Scheduler if there's still some HWiNFO task in there. Regards Dalai

Glad the issue is resolved. Let's hope it doesn't come back.

Mapped network drives from Explorer, which doesn't run as administrator, won't show up in HWiNFO, which does run as administrator. Why? Because network drives are separate per user, or more specifically per (user) token. Running an application as administrator assigns a different token. The same...

This can also be done via smartctl: smartctl -Ai --nocheck=standby /dev/sdaIt's the approach taken by the hddtemp_smartl Munin plugin, for example. It's still not clear to me if this issue is about the drive spinning up or just moving its heads. If it's about the former (which I doubt), the...

Well, I remember that older Seagate drives (7200.11 series) stored parts of their firmware on the platters. Not sure if that's still the case with recent models. But it's possible that some drives store the results of (short and extended) SMART self tests on the platters, making it necessary to...

HDDs have heads and clicking noises coming from it is either the drive moving these heads, parking or unparking them. Apparently there are models which do this when they're being queried for their SMART attribute values or ATA Statistics. I've never seen this in my personal experience, but I...

As I already said: Check your Windows power profile, maybe reset it to its defaults. Disable as many background programs as possible, maybe even uninstall some of them (especially if you don't need them). Regards Dalai

The thing is: If and when you reinstall Windows, you'll never find out what caused this. That is, unless it appears again at some point. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't reinstall Windows eventually. But it would be very interesting to know how and why this occurred - for you and...

Well, starting HWiNFO in Safe Mode is just for verification purposes now. The main thing is to find out what is causing this. Check your Windows power profile. Temporarily disable as many background programs as possible. It could be caused by a driver that was installed along with any...

Maybe it's caused by the RAM somehow. It seems to be the only component that's not been replaced so far. But I wouldn't leave software out entirely. Maybe some background program or driver is acting up. Try Windows Safe Mode to see if it's any better; not sure if HWiNFO is able to install and...

Considering the Power-On Hours of 16039, which is 668 days (or 1.83 years), it's perfectly possible to transfer this much data in that time frame. Maybe there are large files on it like games and such? Regards Dalai

B78AFDECC (hex) = 49,269,432,012 (dec) This is probably the number of sectors. WD should use 512 Byte units for each sector; although today's disks use 4K internally, this particular HDD is a 512e HDD. If we multiply the number above with 512 we get 25,225,949,190,144 Bytes, which is roughly...

Those are SO-DIMMs alright. Not sure where you got their dimensions from. The ADATA datasheet for these modules says they're 1.18" (=29.97 mm) high, which seems to be the default height. Does HP have a QVL (qualified vendor list) or a list of compatible modules? If so, I suggest you check that...
