This page lists several options to control the low-level hardware detection modules of EVEREST. When experiencing instability issues, these options can be used to make EVEREST work properly. Please scroll down to read explanation of each options.
Load device driver under Win95/98/Me
This option controls the using of EVEREST kernel driver for Win9x kernel systems (KERNELD.W9X). In almost all cases instability issues can be avoided by preventing the use of EVEREST kernel driver.
Load device driver under WinNT/2000/XP/2003
This option controls the using of EVEREST kernel driver for NT kernel systems (KERNELD.WNT is the 32-bit driver for x86 systems; KERNELD.AMD64 is the 64-bit driver for x64 systems; KERNELD.IA64 is the 64-bit driver for IA-64 systems). In almost all cases instability issues can be avoided by preventing the use of EVEREST kernel driver.
Low-level MSR operations
This option controls the using of MSR instructions (RDMSR and WRMSR). When this option is disabled, the detection of CPU FSB and CPU multiplier cannot be used.
Low-level PCI bus operations
This option controls the using of low-level PCI bus scanning that may cause system lockup in old systems, typically equipped with S3 PCI or Trident PCI video cards. When this option is disabled, neither of motherboard chipset information, motherboard buses information, GPU information, SPD information and sensor information can be provided.
Low-level SMBus operations
This option controls the using of low-level SMBus scanning that may cause system lockup in rare cases. When this option is disabled, neither of SPD information and sensor information can be provided.
Low-level sensor operations
This option controls the using of low-level sensor scanning that may cause system lockup, CPU fan stop or system audible warnings in rare cases. When this option is disabled, no sensor information can be provided.
Fan divisor reconfiguration
This option controls the using of the fan divisor reconfiguration feature of the hardware monitoring module of EVEREST. Fan divisor reconfiguration ensures that status of all fans -- including low-RPM fans -- can be detected properly. However, MSI Core Cell and PC Alert applications collide with applications that reconfigure fan divisors, so EVEREST and those applications can be used simultaneously only by having this option disabled.
Low-level SMART operations
This option controls the using of low-level SMART hard disk calls that may cause system lockup in rare cases. When this option is disabled, no hard disk temperature and SMART disk health status information can be provided.
Measure CPU temperature using ACPI
This option controls the using of CPU temperature measurement via ACPI temperature calls. When this option is enabled, it may prevent screen savers running, hence its default settings is disabled.
nVIDIA GPU SMBus access through NVGPIO
This option can be used to improve the stability of GPU sensor readout on Asus cards with Asus SmartDoctor installed and running.
