detecting overheating in i9

[rocky]

I have a HP OMEN 45L i9-14900 that is overheating and shutting down occasionally during the middle of the night. I have HWINFO 64 Pro v8.27-5735 running. I want to monitor temperature and related parameters like throttling being active to try to determine the cause. The bios on startup shows error 90D Thermal Shutdown. I want to start monitoring on startup and have enabled that. However, as the computer has just crashed, won't the logging file be overwritten as I do not see a way to imbed the date/time in the file name.
This shutdown only occurs every few days, and I do not want to need renaming the file every time I use the computer.
Seems like a filename with the timedate automatically inserted would be a helpful feature.
Comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Sensor logging via command-line parameters is available in the Pro version: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/supported-command-line-parameters-in-hwinfo64-pro.8549/
By default the log filename uses a time-stamp.

I have the pro version as mentioned in my post. Still do not see anyplace in the menus to see where the file will be written, or what name format it will have. I will search again...

You need to run HWiNFO with a command-line parameter as described in the above post.

As far as I can see, that post makes no mention of how to get the timedate incorporated into the filename specified in the command line. I see how to set the sampling period, delay in starting for n seconds. I see "Example to automatically start sensor logging: HWiNFO64 -lMySensors.CSV" to start logging, but I assume that if this happens at startup after a crash, it will overwrite the previous file of the same name, thus losing the info I need.

If you don't specify a filename (just "HWiNFO64 -l"), it will use a unique name based on actual timestamp when started.
