Core Center S/W loads as a process

System: MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R MB (BIOS AMI v1.5 061803), Intel 3.0GHz Canterwood Processor, 2GB (4x512MB) Crucial PC3200 Unbuffered ECC DDR400 Memory (CT6472Z40B), ATI AIW Radeon 9700 Pro 8X AGP Video, NVidia GForce 4 PCI Video (2nd Mon), SB Audidgy Platinum Ex Sound, (1) WD 40GB ATA133 Boot Drive, (2) Seagate 120GB SATA Drives RAID 0, (2) Maxtor ATA133 120GB Drives RAID 1, ASUS 16x DVD-ROM, Sony DRU DVD Writer, & Iomeg Zip250 drive. Running Windows XP Pro.
Problem: Core Center installs and loads as a process that is using 50% of my processor time instead of as an application. Can not get the Core Center Utility to run as shown on Page 1-6 of the 875P NEO Series Quick User's Guide. Have tried downloading updated version 1053. Any suggestions?

Hi JackH,
50% during startup load or all the way for the next few hours of usage? Try updating to the latest corecenter...
All the Best... :D!!!

MSI Core Center not loading

Anyone have this problem that the Core Center does not load at the start of Windows.?
Running 365PE-Neo2-P MS-6728

Those are the ones, that appear in the tray.
Then after the desktop gets loaded, the following appears in 3 different messages, and then the system reboots.
I can stop this by removing the Core Center software from the system.
1st pop-up window from CoreCenter
Failed to load Hardware Monitor Driver !
2nd pop-up window from Error
The serviice has not been started.
(after acknowledging this window, it loads MSI Live Monitor)
3rd pop-up window from CoreCenter
No Hardware Monitor!
Then it reboots

Had a similar problem after removing one version of core center and installeing a new version. The uninstaller sets the computer to remove some of core centers components after restart so if you install the new version before the restart it removes part of the new installation after restart.
Try uninstalling core center, restarting, reinstalling core center, restarting.
If you get the error message after restart end the core center process in task manager, uninstall core center, restart, reinstall, restart.
If this don't work and you have windows set to auto log on with no users screen disable this and when you boot wait on the users screen for a minute before logging on.

Error with Core Center when switching users

I can't seem to get this worked out...
When ever I switch user accouts I get 2 error messages then a restart. The 2 errors that I get are:
Core center failed to load hardware monitor
& no hardware monitor then an unvolintary reboot...
Any suggestions??

only run CoreCenter with one user. The error message you get is the "2nd" CoreCenter failed to load when you're in 2nd user account, the "1st" CoreCenter is still running.

[Athlon64] ATA HD, Core Center and Drivers problems...

My first problem is about my hard drive. I just recently build a new system and this is my first S-ATA Drive. It is a Seagate 160 gigs (ST3160827AS) and everything works fine... But my hard drive appears in the icon that said "Safely remove hardware". I know this is not an external HD, is internal, and I tried to install it on a Dell computer (Dimension 4700) and it was installed as an internal drive, the way it should be, not like a USB one... so does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not having any performances problems that I'm aware of... but I know this is not right...
My other problem is with tha Core Center, Digicell software... Everynow and then I get the following 4 messages, and both softwares failed to run from the start:
Core Center (Failed to load hardware monitor driver)
Digicell (Failed to load!)
Core Center (No Hardware Monitor)
Core Center does not support your motherboard!
I don't know what is the problem... I have a K8N NEO4 Platinum SLI so it is impossible that my MB is not supported... any clues about this?
My last problem is about some devices that are not correctly installed that appear in my device manager...One appear as a Other PCI Bridge Device and the other in the Raid controllers section as Mass Storage Controller. I tried to install the two floppy's that came with my MB but they don't seem to work...I also have this option in Windows update to install the Silicon Image Silicon Image SiI 3132 SATALink Controller... but Everytime I try, I get an error message... If anyone any solutions for this problems, please help me.... thank you in advance...

Press Start...then right click up at the top, pick Properties, then choose Task Bar....choose Customize...then look for the Safely Remove Hardware listing...then pick Always Hide!
Go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, and delete CoreCenter and DigiCell. Then, try re-loading those programs form your MSI CD.
Personally...I don't use any of those, and find SpeedFan a much more accurate utility. You can download it from www.majorgeeks.com
If you are not using a RAID system...you don't need Silicon Image Controller.
Load your MSI CD, and go to Device Manager, and right-click on Other PCI Bridge Device, and choose Update Drivers from a specific location. It should find the application on your CD, then load.

Core Center Pro Problems w/MSI-9620v1 (K8N Master2-FAR)

-Running XP as shown in sig,
---My issue is Core Center running on two User accounts, causes instabilities or maybe just false readings, resulting in Alarm/Shut Down. Shutting down and then jumping to BIOS's H/W Monitor shows it's not even close to my alarm settings, let alone critical. With the system temporarily being at the tattoo shop while sending his MoBo out for repairs, the two User accounts must be accessed on a regular basis, so fast switching/switch users is the preferred method log logging on.
---Originally I had issues with Core Center showing in Taskbar on all accounts other than mine/Admin, though it was a running process. Added. When I thought it wasn't loading, I started it (clickity-click on icon) and it automatically would say CPUs were overheated.
---Is there a fix that can allow the Core Center to run on two profiles, or am I going to have to shut it down when switching to another profile and open it when the other profile logs in? That would be a bit of a hassle for the other user. He's computer illiterate & would be happier jumping on the computer, searching craig's list or whatever, and then getting off the computer without having to click this, click that and click that before he logs on/off.

I do not know many people that use CoreCenter.
I stopped using it myself in the beginning, as you can simply set the fans in the BIOS.
And the over-temp-shutdown is done by the BIOS automaticly so no reason to set in CC either.
-Thanks Bas,
---I can't adjust anything but alarms in CC anyway, so I just use it for the advanced warning. Maybe it was a conflict between BIOS & CC that caused it, never checked to see if the settings were the same between the two User Profiles, but again the 2nd User profile is gone, so it won't be a problem for me any longer.
---So to me, your response sums it up. Wanted to do this first thing, but wanted to test them first and see if the fuss about OEM coolers was justified. Time to upgrade the CPU coolers; Well, at least the one for CPU2, nearest PCI-E1 (which is always 4°C-8°C higher than CPU1). I've notice temps have gone up 9°C on all (system, CPU1 & CPU2) since I first built the machine, but just wrote that off in thought as "the new BeQuiet! PSU is single fan where the Ultra was dual". Though they're clean to the eye (system is cleaned of all dust, what little there is due to intake filter) and they still show a steady 5900RPM, the CP1 fan shows intermittent (false I would imagine) report of 11k every great once in a while (not in BIOS though).
---In the good name of forum etiquette, I will search for recent cooler alternative topics and jump in. If none found, I will add to an old, unlocked thread... and if still none found, I will start anew.
---Thanks again,
-SB-

Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

NX7600GT Diamond Plus and fan speed with Dual Core Center

I just got a NX 7600GT Diamond Plus for my HTPC. I noted that Riva Tuner and other utilities are not able to control the fan speed of the video card. The only way one can control the fan speed is via Dual Core Center and 3D Core Cell. The problem is that the default setting for fan speed on Dual Core Center is too high and clearly audible. How can I get Dual Core Center to start with user defined presets during windows start-up/boot-up ?
What I want to do is to put the fan into 'SILENT' mode automatically during Dual Core Center start-up. Any ideas / suggestions ?

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 17-January-07, 00:44:11
well no need to edit manually, MSI provided everythink in easy way from core center.
select advanced mode, create your custom profile pickup your desired settings,(setup maximum FAN RPM via buttons) and save it to custom profile.
suggest you to read help section from program.
So the custom profile is automatically loaded every time DualCoreCenter starts up ? Maybe there is something wrong with my install of DCC, I cannot get it to load custom profiles automatically upon startup. I can save the changes to say "User Profile 1" but the profile active on startup always is the "default" profile ...

Alarm going off in core center

I have an alarm going off in core center Theres a red arrow next to wherer it says 12 v. then in the white box it says 10.95 v any one know what it means and what I could do about it I don't know whats normal for the readings I get in core center. My pc has been locking up and certian games wont load unless it's really cool in the room.

Good questions! Some folks have acceptable readings with CoreCenter, by verifying them with the Hardware Monitor (in BIOS). I compared them with my SpeedFan program, and as far as temps go..I use a laser temp gun to check CPU, case, and video card temps. Voltages on the PSU can be verified with a voltmeter of course. The specifications on your NB fan should be in your manual. Or you can check out this thread at Anandtech:

Core center problem at startup

I recently installed a new soundcard (Audigy2ZS) and it's been causing problems with core center i guess? When ever windows starts up it says "Servive has not been started" followed by "No Hardware Monitors". But when I load Corecenter individually it's fine. Any ideas?

its a common software conflict ... to solve
run msconfig ... go to the startup tab .. disable the sbdrvdet ... (i think its called that) ... to stop it loading ... i believe its to do with firwire .. so not really required ... msi software should then run ok

Problems with Live Update 3 and Core Center

Hi All
I have just put together the system listed below. On the first boot-up screen "Live Update 2" is displayed on the top right of screen. I installed "Live Update 3" from the Drivers & Utilities CD supplied with the Mobo. On rebooting, the computer crashes straight after loading Windows. The problem occurs even after I downloaded the latest version.
I also installed Core Center from the same CD. This works fine until I try to switch user. It then comes up with the error "No Hardware Monitor Found" and crashes. The same thing happens after downloading the latest version.
What could be causing this?
Many thanks.

Upgrade BIOS and see what happens...

Core Center alternative?

I'm getting tired of the error message "Failed to load hardware monitor driver!" in Core Center 1.6.1.0. I find that I have to manually load the program, and even then, I sometimes get the same error.
Does anyone know of a good alternative to Core Center 1.6.1.0? Ideally, I'd like a program that would dynamically display FSB and Multiplier because I use Cool & Quiet and I find such information interesting. Also, the program would display the temperatures, voltages, fan speed, etc. Thanks!

Ok I disabled the application, and it seems to work- thanks. Core center now loads without the error message.
I am curious though... what exactly did I disable? I'd hate to be without 5.1 channels when I'm playing Battlefield
Audigy 1 doesn't work with K8T Neo, and it seems Audigy2 software causes problems.... Does MSI have some kind of grudge against Creative?

Core Center Hmmmm

i currently have a neo plat 250 a643000 using the core center set to auto clock the damm thing took itself to 2.540 gigs. I had to stop it ,i could no longer take the stress, Question should i let the core find the maxium oc and if so will it stop itself before i have a meltdown . Are there any safe gaurds set in place I was watching my temps they were 42c and holding under a no load condition . Right now really not sure what to do ,let it have its way and find out how hot this cpu is or just be a tad bit consersative let hold it at 2.40 that was the best i could achieve by manual oc

Question to Wonkanoby: My 3.3v has always read 3.51v in CoreCenter and that's outside of the plus or minus 5% range. It has always played well with my borderline (at least by this forum's standards) RAM. Should I be concerned? As my system has been very stable for about four months, I don't think so. I think I asked this once before, but I don't remember any definitive response. I have an identical PSU to yours, just a little less powerful.

Overclocking with Core Center

I am a total noob to this overclocking stuff, but trying to learn more.
I have been using Core Control to oc my mobo. Currently I have an AMD 64 2800 that is running at FSB 245 and a cpu 2205 mhz.
I have not adjusted any voltages, do I need to? What is everyones opionion of Core Center? I have verified the cpu speed with MBM and CPU-Z and they confirm what Core Center says.
Any thoughs on this am I pushing the FSB up too high?
System specs:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
1 gig (2 512's) Crucial PC3200 ram
AMD Athlon 64 2800 Newcastle
Nvidia 6800 OC By BFG tech
480 W Antec PS

Well, for a nood that's a nice OC. In order to determine if you need more voltage you need to check for stability. Get a free download of Prime95 and run the torture test on the second setting where it says lots of heat. Speaking of heat, that's more inportant than voltage. You want to check out what temps your are generating under fyll load(ie the Prime torture test. If your using stock cooling you can only go so high before heat is a problem. Adding voltage adds more heat as well. How hot is too hot? That's a question that everyone has their own answer for. I really don't like my system running much over 50c, so low 50's is where I back off. I'm sure it can go well into the fifties without gettig cooked, but I'm pretty cautious. Good luck.javascript:checklength(document.bbform);

K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

Hi. I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well. When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz. Under load it would go up to 2100mhz. But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time. (The variable fan speed function still works).
I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled. Still does not work. I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard. Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked. Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working. I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked. The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop. But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working. Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore. So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load. I don't get it??? I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz. But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle. Am I looking in the right place in XP? I have XP pro, SP2
Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year

Core Center Causing reboot!!!!

I seem to be having an issue with Core Center, every time I load it my system crashes. I have all the latest drivers installed, I even tried the Omega drivers for the video card. A little help from anyone trying the same setup would be greatly appreciated:help:

Tried the website download, no good ran the memtest and found 1 stick of bad Mushkin ram, RMA'ing that.
I guess this will be the second bad board, if I don't install Core center she runs and posts fine, but once I reboot after install I can get to the welcome screen then it dies with a stop error0x0000008e and lists rushtop.sys which I found is in the Core Center file.
Maybew someone can give me a better idea of what I did wrong, I think I'm wearing out my XP install disc.
