So I'm reding wrong data. I'm reading the I/O bus clock thinking it is the data rate. Ok ok Thanks!

Hi, I installed a ram module of 2gb @ 800 Mhz on my PC, but speecy shows it as PC2 6400 (400 Mhz). Am I wrong reading that value? Shouldn't it be a 800 Mhz value? Thank you

Hi Alan_B, I know what you'are talking about!!! :-) I can assure you it was blocked, 'there was no tick from the heart'. I waited for about an hour. After many years of developing on windows families (I started on Win95/ME) you acquire some sort of 'sixth sense' about the behaviour of these OSs. That is a working in progress knowledge you learn beating your head against your PC day by day. It's the same when you understand that a loop in your code is running for ever when you are debugging your app, after many non terminating loop you acquire a 'feel' about those loops. Thank you anyway for your help.

this is what I was looking for. Thank you,

Hi SuperFast, so I got it right. Ok, no problem about the help of Alan_B. As I said I'm absolutely sure my PC wasn't HOG or starved, instead it was completely blocked. I'm not sure the issue was caused by Defraggler and this is why I asked those questions before. Probably it's my hard disk but I'm not sure too. However I cannot see the 'health' tab of my hard sik from Defraggler main window, probably because that hard disk doesn't support some interfaces (i can see the 'health' tab from my internal hard disk). The external hard disk I was defragmenting is 400 GB (on the box there is written PackardBell but I'm not sure this was the manufacturer of the hard disk). It was 82% used. The files it has have a different size, large small etc. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (i think two core) RAM: 4GB Single channel DDR2 # 334MHz MB: ASUSTek M4A79 Deluxe. I don't know how much ram was free and how much was used at the time of blocking, however I don't think too much used. After reastarted my PC I ran again Defraggler and all was fine, no problem and the hd had a good defragmenting. I said I was a developer just to let you know I'm accustomed to the "first line" of attempt in those case. I've been using Piriform products for many years or so. Anyway, with Speecy I can create a snapshot of my hardware if you need to. Thank you,

Hi Alan_B, what does "HOG" mean? I'm not sure I've understood what you said. If you're suggesting that in such situations my PC could be unresponsive because Defraggler (and other running programs) are heavily using my PC then I can assure you my PC was blocked. I have many years of devloping on windows so I know when it is blocked and when is not. Are you a Drafraggler developer? Thanks

Hi all, I was running Defraggler on an external hard disk. After some minutes of working my PC became blocked, no mouse moving, no ctrl+alt+delete response. I'm not sure if Defraggler caused the blocking situation. Is there a way to know if Defraggler encountered problems during its work? Does Defraggler have some sort of log file where it writes exception events? Does Defraggler have a "start in debug mode" feature? Thanks PC: Windows7(64bit), 4GB ram, several internal and external hard disks. Defraggler v: 2.09.391(64bit) I'm a (win32) software developer if this can help you.
