Which NVIDIA drivers are installed there? If your GPU driver would support NVAPI then reporting the temperature should be no problem. Can you try to install this version: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults … spx/57493/en-us

GPU-Z should be also showing min/max if you click the sensor item. But not sure if it will support this GPU properly, it has issues with older models AFAIK. Anyway, I will look into this how feasible it is to implement.

Thanks. I will remove that invalid sensor, but reporting GPU temperature on that GPU is very difficult and problematic.

Hi, what is the HWInfo version working for 8086 ? and for 386/486 ? I did the same as you, downgrade my .MOD Player to 8088 :) HWiNFO for DOS v4.4.1 requires 386+, all later should run on 386. The only issue is the conventional memory requirement. Hence I recommend to boot from a clean DOS 5+ …

I'm sorry, that doesn't help much 🙁 I have once seen a similar problem, but on that system other tools like CPU-Z, AIDA were crashing in the same way.

That's very strange. HWiNFO doesn't perform and hardware access before the welcome screen is shown, so this might indicate some other problem in your system, most probably driver/kernel related. Is there any other special software installed? Do other tools like CPU-Z or SIV work properly there?

Since I'm getting BSODs I'm unable to enable debug write. Used this, added DebugMode=1 to ini file, but it didn't help. If the welcome screen of HWiNFO is disabled, so it's not possible to reach the Settings screen, Debug Mode can be enabled by editing the HWiNFO32.INI or HWiNFO64.INI and changing …

Is there a reason for HWiNFO not running on Windows 95? I've installed IE3 and another required dll, now it will start, but nothing will show up and the program ends without any information. Yes, bringing back Win95 support would require a quite significant effort, which is probably not worth the …

Which cards do you have? I will then check if I need them. I have a WDXLR831 Windows accelerator card (based on a WD90C31 chip) readily available.

So you're just looking for dumps of the EPROM chips? I only have one or two graphics cards, but I'd be happy to provide those if they'd be useful to you and if I can find an EPROM programmer to borrow. A list of what you already have might be helpful, though, so nobody duplicates any effort. Thanks …
