Yea I was never able to get it to work properly before reformatting. I tried everything on stock as well as multiple overclock/voltage combinations with no luck.
The good news is that after I formatted I haven't had it come back and I am at my ideal clock/voltage/temp combo which is 3.83ghz...
Hey man I was never able to resolve it so I did a format + fresh install of windows 7 and haven't had the issue come back (knock on wood).
It was very frustrating because I got to the point where I could see the processes that were holding it up but I could never figure out what to do about...
The only error messages under the event viewer are with my cdrom drive. I am not sure what the problem is but it was happening before the Realtemp problem started happening so I doubt its the cause of it.
I posted on a couple other forums trying to get this issue resolved and nobody had heard...
Jeeze... I don't know if i can go any lower.
I have my Q9550 stable at 3.8 with just under 1.2vcore which is essentially stock.
Never had this problem on vista at all.
Yea I tried upping all my voltages and decreasing the FSB and am still having the same problem.
What in the world... so frustrating.
I mean it is apparent that this isn't a Realtemp issue but I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out.
Don't know where to go from here.
Ugh it definitely sounds like the same problem. But what I don't get is how it is a FSB/Voltage issue when I am running identical settings to when I didn't have this problem.
It totally seems like some windows process is taking 2-3 minutes to load and in the meantime the temp programs are...
Okay - SetFSB = same problem.
The problem with this being a voltage issue is two fold.
1) This problem is happening with a completely default/stock bios settings.
2) This problem didnt happen prior to yesterday with stock settings or the exact settings I am using on my OC right now...
Yea I don't think it is a hardware issue (due to the failed OC) because SpeedFan works fine and Realtemp and coretemp also work perfectly after I wait that 3 minutes.
Thank you for the detailed response unclewebb!
I have followed the steps and added realtemp to my start up using task manager and unfortunately the problem is still occurring.
Under task manager there are no errors or problems reported it just says that realtemp is running. However when I go...
Alright man thank you for the effort so far - making some progress.
This is just driving me crazy because it didn't happen before and I can't think of any logical reason why this would ever happen with only Realtemp and Coretemp while Speedfan and T-Power and CPU-z all work fine.
