Summary0000213: Speedfan is unable to access smbus i think (SMBus msg : SMB Error $14 : Busy (1A))
DescriptionWhen i try to start speedfan the program blocks for about 15-30seconds while it produces the text below:

I/O properly initialized
Linked ISA BUS at $0290
Linked nVidia nForce2 SMBUS at $5000

End of detection

After that only HD0 and Temp1 shows up.
Earlier i used 4.17 and then is was approx 1/3 times (after a reboot) that it managed to find the sensors and then everything would work fine until i either rebooted the computer or restarted the program. But lately it has stopped working at all with 4.17 also.
Tried to upgrade to the latest nvidia drivers now also.
(Dont know if this has something to do with using nvidia's drivers, or how i get rid of them to test if it is because of that)
Steps To ReproduceI simply start the program. :)
Additional InformationHave tried uppgrading nvidia drivers to the latest.
TagsNo tags attached.

The problem seems to be related to the SMBus on the motherboard. It might be actually disabled. I would really appreciate if you could send me a SEND REPORT (INFO tab) and then drop me an email to point me to it.
Anyway: since your hardware monitor chip (IT8712F) is located on ISA BUS, you can completely disable SMBus access by using the following command line switch:
/NOSMBSCAN

Sent you two reports now (sent the first one when the program was started with /NOSMBSCAN so sent a second one also).
And also a mail to you like you said you wanted :)
