I disabled the "Check keyboard..." thing, this time no crash. I didn't open the computer, but afaik the card is a standard old Sound Blaster 16 with manual jumpers. HWINFO says it's a Creative Sound Blaster 2.0. Hitting enter on the description produced a new bug. First time it said DSP 2.0, I/O …

That's OK, Landmark also glitches more than usual on that mobo, it shows a CPU bar around 54 (and reports that as the AT-equivalent speed) but the text near the bar is also "100.0". But then again, it's Landmark. I don't much care about the reported speed, I know it's a 40MHz system (with no other …

I tried HWINFO 6.2.3 on my unnamed 386 computer @ 25MHz. It's more stable than 6.1.2 was, but still crashes on the Peripherals screen, saying it can't continue, then freezing the computer. Because Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, I have to press Reset. Other things: Although it sees the Sound card in the …

Also, on the normal supported HWINFO32, it doesn't seem to see any IDE drives (only tested under Win98 so far). You might need to enable "Low-level IO Access" Drive Scan in HWiNFO32 there. Tried that, it worked - thanks. I also noticed that auto-update (and manual update) doesn't work on Vista and …

I'm still curious as to why the clock is not properly measured. Can you try to disable "Use Method 1 to Reset CPU.." in HWiNFO menu "Setup" -> "Configuration" to check if that's maybe causing it? The text missing after "INTC Compability Select" might be due to insufficient free memory.

In most GPUs all its domains are driven by a a single clock, so you just see a single GPU Clock. But some are different, e.g. some older GPUs or even the latest Navi 3x runs the shaders at a different clock than the frontend. Your GPU has different clock domains so the Geometry Clock reflects the …

Currently I have no idea why this is happening. I'd suggest to disable various options, you already disabled LPC1/2 and SMBus and it didn't work. Maybe try others like ACPI. Still nothing. :/ Nothing I disable helps. Please attach DBG file when all things are disabled, especially LPC1/2 and SMBus.
