Starting TThrottle gives BSOD

KLiK · April 16, 2015, 08:27:21 AM

So, even though I've put TThrottle on all my laptops on which it works fine (7.52 for Vista/7/10 & 7.30 for WinXP).

I've come to my good old computer, only one to have to work on less than 100%.
It's an old ABIT BP6 board with 2 celerons on 533MHz...works quite nice & crunches data for WCG, currently mostly OET project...doesn't give me much points, but gives me so much crunching h for the badges!

So I've installed 7.30 ver on WinXP & rebooted the system...
After I started the TThrottle, the BSOD becames active & says that "cputemperature.sys" crashed the WinXP...

Has anyone had similar problem?

I don't think that the celerons will work anyway.
That may be the reason for the BSOD, the celeron probably doesn't like the temperature request.

What is the slowest family of intel chipset that you have used for TThrottle?
'cause this is Mendocino core: http://ark.intel.com/products/27189/Intel-Celeron-Processor-533-MHz-128K-Cache-66-MHz-FSB

Also, I noticed that you use "CPU temp" to regulate the temp on the TThrottle.

Is there an older version where you used temp sensors from the MBO?

No all version use the same CPU temperature.

So a CPU without the sensor is not viable for TThrottle?

And that is why i get BSOD on loading TThrottle...

I've never got at BSOD reported, but that may be the case.
Another thing is that XP is no longer tested for some time.

7.22 ver also makes the BSOD...all on cputemperature.sys

which version do u suggest for an old WinXP system?

The problem is the CPU driver, so it will never work.

OK...so the TThrottle needs a P4 processor or newer to work...'cause of the CPU temp sensor!

thx

The problem is the CPU driver, so it will never work.

Also, could a 2 processor system be blamed for BSOD with cputemperature.sys ?

'cause BP6 has a 2 processors: http://www.tomshw.it/guides/hardware/cpu/20041220/images/abit_bp6_big.jpg
