| Summary | 0000319: OS periodically locks up (freezes) for several minutes when SpeedFan is running | ||||
| Description | A Tyan K8W (S2885)-based workstation equipped with dual AMD Opteron 250 running Windows XP Prof x64 Edition and SpeedFan v4.25 periodically freezes for 3-5 minutes. Mouse is still working and numlock/capslock/scroll toggles, but nothing more works, no new processes can be started, no taskbar, no ctrl-alt-del, etc. After that time system may unfreeze for 1-2 minutes, but freezes again after (sometimes forever till reset). Problem appears sometimes when SpeedFan started from the user desktop and almost always when started as a service. /NONVIDIAI2C does not helps (I have ATI Radeon X800XT AGP card), neither do /NOSMARTSCAN and /NOWMISCAN. Adding /NOSMBSCAN seems to be a solution, but ADT7463 chip does not detects with this switch and half of the mainboard sensors not coming up. | ||||

It seems that problem is somewhat related to the SCSI controller or hard disk drive. I have Adaptec 39320A-R Ultra320 double channel card and a Maxtor Atlas 15K II 147Gb drive connected to the first channel. I noticed that SCSI bus reset event is written to the windows event log when system locks up. Sometimes (when system freezes forever) these bus resets keep coming in endless loop (there's a series of them seen in the event viewer after reboot). There are no SCSI bus resets observed when SpeedFan is not running. |

This is the very first and only issue I was ever reported of since when I first introduced SCSI support. The temporary fix would be to disable SCSI access by means of /NOSCSISCAN. Did you try to update SCSI drivers? Did you notice any relation between such lockups and disk activity? |

/NOSCSISCAN did help, thank you (although no SMART readings available now). SCSI drivers are "Adaptec Embedded SCSI HostRAID" v2.0.0.201 on both channels, the latest version that's available from the Adaptec web site. I have tried with built-in Windows driver (adpu320) with same luck. There's no disk activity when lockups occurs (system is just booted, no apps running, only SpeedFan). |
