I checked and there weren't any log files. Thank you for checking. I have now released SIV 5.55 Beta-02 so please use that rather than the test SIVs. I noticed the HP NetServer has an ASUS AS99127 so adjusted Beta-02 to report it, do you now see the SIO sensors and do they look to be correct to you …

If yourself or anyone else has any recommendations for another Tualatin options besides the TUSL2 series, I'm all ears. Here are three successful runs with captures, with a reboot in-between for good measure. No hangs or CPU pegging at all. Most of the i815 chipset Tualatin systems I have tested …

Yes, it hangs at "CPU-TIMER" while pinning the CPU @ 100%. I ran the 5.55 Xmas-02 on the NetServer Good luck with the ASUS TUSL2 return and thank you for the HP NetServer save files, it's very strange SIV also spins on that system. I just checked my MSI MS-6135 system running Windows 2000 SP4 and …

I did re-run the SIV Xmas-2 release without any PCI/AGP devices with BIOS defaults. Still hung on "cpu-timer" but that seems to be par for this course/MB. Thank you for the update and in truth I was half expecting the rebuild would not make the issue go away. Where did the board come come and can …

There hasn't been any BSOD on this system, just when running it on the P3-866 HP system, which is dual CPU. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. OK and good luck with the rebuild. The BSOD on the P3-866 HP system happened while dumping the GPU registers so is unlikely to be down to it having …

I had to select "cpu-timer" independently again. Thank you for checking out the test SIV and posting new save files. All the adjustments I made worked as I intended. OK about no DVM, I am pretty sure the voltages reported by SIV are correct, does the BIOS report the voltages? If so it would be …

Good, please may I have new Menu->File->Save Selected files with [msrs] deselected so I can check the changes I made such that SIV should use MSR 2A work OK? Do you plan to fix …

I'm seeing 900MHz (180x5.0) which bears no relation to what I'm setting. What am I missing here? I suspect this is down to the BIOS only looking at the low four bits of the multiplier as x5.0 is 0x00 and x9.0 is 0x10. What do utilities report from Windows NT/2000/XP/2003? I would be interested to …

I'm aware the cache CPUID is not implemented, but don't know why. I'm told it caused issues with some BIOSes as we don't emulate a cache. I'll ask around EDIT: Confirmed. I assume the BIOSes only run in real mode , is this correct? If so would it be sensible to implement CPUID 2 to return the …

Test build BSODs on startup. I'm leaning towards it being another emulation issue not directly related to MSRs, in which case it's 100% our problem; RDMSR: Invalid MSR: 00000150 *** 3 repeats *** RDMSR: Invalid MSR: 00000611 RDMSR: Invalid MSR: 00000639 RDMSR: Invalid MSR: 00000641 RDMSR: Invalid …

I just brought SIV into this because it's currently the only hardware reporting tool to actively cause BSODs with our emulation (HWiNFO used to but was mysteriously fixed). I can't comment on unnamed utilities, but know that as HWiNFO reads MSRs on W9x it must only read MSRs that exist as W9x fails …

I was more concerned about SIV trying to read unimplemented MSRs and resulting in a BSOD (UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP with parameter 0x0000000D) but that's clearly an emulation issue since you do catch the GPF exceptions. The MSR implementations are WRMSR and RDMSR for P6 CPUs. Yes, stopping the …
