How to start gpu-z?

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

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.

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

what kind of system configuration do you have?

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.

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.
