Recently got my hands on the MSI Big Bang Xpower II (intel x79), and have had some frustrating behavior concerning when I open hwinfo64.
Often when opening HWInfo64 (1550 and 1565), it will either hang at the scanning of various sensors, or it'll continue (sort of) like normal. But the hang isn't the killer. What kills it is shortly after opening hwinfo64 (10-30 seconds), my system will start losing responsiveness and eventually completely lockup, forcing me to hard reset my PC. When restarting, my bluray drive will be disappeared which requires a long power off and unplugging my power supply to fix, or I will get an MBR Error 1, requiring me to swap SATA ports on my SSD which my OS is installed on.
Before I subject myself to this scary lockup again, is there anything I can do to prevent scanning SATA devices (or SMART if thats what is causing it), or other possible solutions before I have to resort to enabling debug mode to submit a log and causing another system hang and lockup?
