CPU/GPU Monitors/Clocks for Temperature Control/Monitoring: Recommendations? [ Edited ]

[Wayne_Sallee]

I went to laptopvideo2go.com and downloaded the driver, and used the "have disk" method of installing it. Then I restarted the computer, but both of the hardware monitors would not show any GPU temperature.

So I tried the "Setup.exe" method, and restarted the computer. And then it showed the GPU Temp.

Thanks for the help!

Oh and I like the CPUID Hardware Monitor much, much better than the Nvidia Hardware Monitor. The Nvidia one monitors more things, but it's more anoying, and I like the way that the CPUID one keeps track of the minimum, and the maximum

I debated about the Sig between using laptop or desktop specs,decided on this since I am more active on the laptop side.This is my 3rd HP laptop in 5 yrs and I'm loving this latest very light and mobile model.I will be doing an XP dual boot on it soon and will update sig.

Well, it was nice being able to see the GPU temperature, but that driver recked my system. So I removed it, and reinstalled the HP video driver.

Wrecked isn't very specific, if you posted exactly what was wrong then people can compare whether a problem they have is the same.  Thus far I've had no problems running a 178.x and that linked 180 series driver under WinXP /SP3 on a dv6310 with 6150 chipset.
