Hi,
very weird issue, it took me a little while to narrow it down to HWiNFO. Using version 8.16 portable.
PC is equipped with ASUS P5E socket 775 motherboard, 2x2GB Corsair DDR2 RAM, HD5450 GPU. I use it to test/OC various CPUs/GPUs from time to time. Windows 7 x64 with recent Simplix update package applied, system is relatively fresh install. Drivers installed via Snappy Driver Installer Origin, for my convenience.
The issue is, the PC fails to boot/reboot if I started HWiNFO at any point in the Windows session. When attempting to reboot, the system would begin the power cycle, the keyboard and mouse would turn off the lights and then the monitor doesn't receive the signal anymore, while the PC is still apparently running (fans working etc.). I have to turn off the PSU switch and then the PC would boot to Windows.
If I do not start HWiNFO at all, the PC (re)boots without issue every time. If I start and close HWiNFO before rebooting the issue still occurs. I have tried both 32bit and 64bit versions of HWiNFO.
I do not know which additional information I should provide, hopefully I can help to narrow down this very weird issue.
