How to start gpu-z?

[ocr123]

Sorry if this is a dumb question. When I try to open gpu-z just the logo opens. Where do I go from there?

Can you take a screen shot and show us what you have going on?

Sounds like he gets the splash screen but the app doesn't open. I've no idea why it would do that. W1zz may have to answer that one.

Sure

See attachment.

when you move the splash screen, do you see an error message behind it?

what kind of system configuration do you have?

No error message at all.

I'm using i7 3610qm with amd radeon 7970m.

so it just hangs forever at the splash screen? can you check its cpu load in task manager?

Yes. It stays around 13-15.

This is just AMD Enduro turning off the GPU.

Add GPU-Z executable to Catalyst Control Center as "High Performance", and launch 3DMark11 before opening GPU-Z.

You will see wrong readings for some values though.

you are experiencing the same on hd 7970m ?

I'm experiencing the same on HD 7850M, which also uses Enduro. Have to run a recognized 3D app like 3DMark11 before opening GPU-Z to not have it freeze.
