GPU-Z hangs or locks computer

allesok · Apr 24, 2009

GPU-Z 0.3.3 hangs and locks the computer.
GPU-Z 0.2.1 gives the error message:
"Could not start driver. The system cannot find the file specified."

What can I do?

XP Pro SP2 in English with all updates, ATI Radeon X300/X550/1050 Series.

Are you using any Kaspersky products?

allesok · Apr 24, 2009

Yes. Internet Security 7.0.

Not sure if it is exactly the same, but here is the fix for Kaspersky Internet Secuirty 8 (2009)

Open Kaspersky Internet Secuirty

Go to System Security on the left

Then click Settings next to Application Filtering

Find the Techpowerup Folder and click the plus button on the left of it.

Click on GPU-Z, then click the edit button

Go to the exclusions tab and tick all three boxes, then click ok, ok again, and close Kaspersky Internet Secuirty.

KIS 7 is much the same, otherwise, download the latest update from their site, your KIS7 key will continue to work on KIS2009, (its what I did

)

Thanks for a very quick reply. It worked.
In Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0:
Click on the left side in main window: "Settings"
Click to the left in the opened window:
"Threats and exclusions" -> "Trusted zone" -> "Add"
Then browse to and add ...\GPU-Z.0.3.3.exe
Click "Edit" and mark all boxes.

Kind regards
