Sigh
Well, I turned off HWinfo completely, and ran trixx, using it's fan control to mitigate the loss of framerates I see when playing games for over 10 minutes. And I still got shutdowns.
So it appears my system only shuts down when I use a program to take control over the fans. However...
Unfortunately, I'm not very sure. I have an AMD Radeon HD 6900m. As well as embedded Intel graphics.
In that link it mentions a tool called Saphire Trixx to disable the use of ULPS.
Will doing so cause any system instability / Will it choose to use my High performance GPU over my embedded...
Here is a screen shot of my sensors and Fan speed page, when EC Support is diabled and with disabled monitoring for SMART.: http://imgur.com/QiTDD
As I've said, for whatever reason, COMPAL EC has changed to DELL EC, now that I've disabled EC support. I assume that's just a name change and not...
Hello, Martin. I do hope you're still following this thread.
I ran the game today without Hwinfo running and there were no shutdowns. PLayed for around half an hour, shutdowns usually occur within the first 5-10 minutes.
However the reason why I want to take manual control of the fans is...
I will try running the game in question without hwinfo open to see how it goes. I'll respond tomorrow with the results, I have to go to work right now.
Disabling smart sensors stopped the lag completely. So that part is solved.
However I have both EC support off, and the battery removed, and the computer still shuts down during games. (Although it took slightly longer this time.)
I'm mainly trying to use HWinfo for the fan control. Is...
Just to be clear. Removing the battery, and disabling EC Support could fix the shut-downs in games, while disabling the Compal EC sensor will help the lag?
I'm going to read that link now. Thanks!

Actually, I'm having a hard time finding where to disable the EC Support. And the lag...
Hi! I've had great luck with this product in the past, and recently installed it on my machine after doing a clean install.
However this time, as soon as I opened the program I noticed that my mouse would 'hang' every 5 second or so. I opened up a game that I had been trying to play (I was...
Thank you very much for the quick answers. Happy to say that taking manual control of my fans fixed my problem. Can't thank you enough for this software.
I originally downloaded the program to take manual control of my fans, which I believe have not been working correctly.
I clicked on 'Sensors' and it tells me that there is a sensor warning for COMPAL EC
It says reading from this sensor could cause a higher load on my computer.
So what is...
