    Morning all.

    Did a small upgrade on my pc yesterday, in that I changed my cpu from a 2500K to a 2700K and finally sorted the watercooling stuff out for it.

    Didn't get chance to do anything last night other than check it was ok which it is so was happy.

    Got up this morning and I am in the middle of overclocking it to as high as it will go but here is the problem.

    I want to use CPUZ to validate the OC but when I run it, it get's stuck on the Monitoring part and doesn't move forward.

    Got my 2700K up to 5.0ghz at the moment, using 1.45v and the temp's are maxing out at 55c, 66c, 65c, 59c, using a triple rad with fans in push pull.

    Temp's will probably go down at the end of the month when I can get 3 more Scythe fans to match them all up.

    But does anyone have any ideas as to why CPUZ won't load, have tried looking around and found someone said it was a issue with the Intel Management stuff so I turned that off at boot but still, it will not get past the monitoring stage.

    Any help would be great.

    Have you got the latest version? Try using an older version too.

    Was it happening with the old cpu? Even if it wasn't I would suggest remove cpuz, run something like ccleaner to clear any remaining files then reinstall from the newest version.

    Never tried it on the old cpu to be honest as I never really tried it.

    Only trying it now but I will try a older version, I know the Aida64 Cpuid works.

    Right click to anywhere on the CPU tab of CPU-Z, then select an another core. The sensor on one of your cores might have gotten stuck.

    The problem is when I click the shortcut for CPUZ it goes past most of the stuff but get's stuck on the monitoring stage so, the actual program doesn't fully load.

    Like others have mentioned, try a different CPU-Z version. Try both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Or try to run it in compatibility mode as well.

    Well managed to get it uninstalled, and installed a few older versions and tried them but again anything newer than version 1.53 won't load and the problem with 1.53 is it, won't show me my voltage etc.

    You don't need to install CPU-Z. Get the standalone version and run it from the download location.

    I had the "no voltage displayed" problem and restarting my PC fixed it.

    I'd say your Windows install is borked if it can't run an application as simple as CPUZ, lol!

    Try what I suggested above.

    I have tried the stand alone version, and it did the same thing.

    I will probably do a reinstall during the week just to see what happen's.

    Well I have done a reload of window's this morning and installed CPUZ once the install was complete, and it worked perfectly fine.

    Then installed all the rest of the stuff that I normally install, and it wouldn't work anymore.

    So thought to myself what have I installed that monitor's stuff, and then it clicked "AIDA64" which was known as "Everest", so I stopped that from starting on boot and tried CPUZ again and it worked after a reboot.

    Loaded Aida again and then tried CPUZ and it wouldn't work again, so when I want to use CPUZ I need to close AIDA and reboot my pc grrr.

    If you've got aida64 you don't need cpu-z. Aida has it's own cpu-z built in.
