Using hWiNFO64 for sensor data causes my system to micro-freeze every couple seconds!

As the title says, for my Rainmeter stuff I need the hwinfo thing running to get the sensor data, however running it in the background, causes my whole system to have these small 1 second micro-freezes every couple of seconds.

Any idea what's going on?

I assume that reading some of your sensors causing this issue, but without further details (a screenshot of the sensors list at least) it's difficult to give exact advice.
A common issue is the disk sensor, so you might try to disable it: right-click on the "S.M.A.R.T." sensor heading and choose Disable Monitoring.

That solved it. SMART sensors seemed to cause this issue. Thanks!

On another note: Why is there no VRAM Total sensor for my R390?

MSI Afterburner seems to have it.

Which "VRAM Total" sensor do you mean - voltage, temperature ?
Please attach the HWiNFO Debug File with sensor data, so I can check that in detail. Instructions how to create it are here: http://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-IMPORTANT-Read-this-before-submitting-a-report

I mean I want to know the total amount of my VRAM. MSI Afterburner knows it, yet HWINFO has no sensor for it?

There's no reason for having a sensor to report total amount of graphics memory as this is a value that doesn't change.
You can see the total amount of GPU memory in HWiNFO in System Summary or in the main window.
