CarWiz Jun 3, 2011 9:18 PM (in response to pwertz)I believe you need to install and run IDTU with Administrator privileges. If you run it as any other user, changes won't update the SMBIOS.

pwertz Jun 4, 2011 9:53 AM (in response to CarWiz)Thanks for the response. I am the administrator and only user of the system.
I should add that four temps are shown in BIOS; Processor, PCH, Memory, and VR. These four temps plus "other/unknown" show in the hardware monitor summary of the IDU. Regards. Peter

CarWiz Jun 4, 2011 12:22 PM (in response to pwertz)It makes no difference that you are the only user or administrator. The program must start with the option "Run as administrator". Check the properties on the desktop short cut and see if "Run as administrator" in Advanced pop-up is check-marked. The same is true when the utility was first installed. Double clicking on the installer won't do. If you didn't execute the installer with "Run as administrator", you should uninstall the utility and try again.

pwertz Jun 4, 2011 2:58 PM (in response to CarWiz)CarWiz - Thanks again for the response. Run as administrator in advanced pop-up was not check-marked. I uninstalled and have downloaded the utility to my desktop but cannot figure out how to run the installer as administrator. I thought the installer should prompt me.
I can run the program as administrator after installing but that does not change anything, The program installs, I reboot, and the alarm comes on before I have a chance to run the program as administrator. Hope that is clear. Regards. Peter

CarWiz Jun 4, 2011 3:13 PM (in response to pwertz)Bring up the location of the downloaded installer in Windows Explorer. Right click on the file and select "Run as administrator".

pwertz Jun 4, 2011 3:50 PM (in response to CarWiz)CarWiz - When I right click on the download I do not have the option of "Run as Administrator". I can Open the file which takes me to Setup or I can Open With which lets me use Windows Explorer to open the file. Regards. Peter

CarWiz Jun 4, 2011 4:02 PM (in response to pwertz)1 of 1 people found this helpfulOps. Sorry, I forgot that it was a Zip file. Right click on the zip file and select "Extract All". You can let it default to the current location and it will create a folder with the same name as the zip file but without ".zip". Explore that folder for Setup.exe then right click on that and select "Run as administrator".

pwertz Jun 4, 2011 4:46 PM (in response to CarWiz)CarWiz - I followed your directions and was able to open the download and install using "Run as Administrator". Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. When I rebooted the alarm went off. Thanks for sticking with me - I learned something in this exercise. Thanks again CarWiz. Regards. Peter

CarWiz Jun 4, 2011 5:11 PM (in response to pwertz)The alarm will still go off until you change the high limit value from zero to some value. You should be able to change it now in IDU and it should stay. Have you updated to the current BIOS?

10. Re: Intel Desk Top Utility v. 3.1.4.031 Problem
pwertz Jun 4, 2011 5:53 PM (in response to CarWiz)CarWiz - I was updated to the current BIOS before this started. I do change the threshold value each time the alarm goes off. It will run fine until I reboot. On rebooting the alarm goes off and when I look at the threshold value it has been reset to 0. As I mentioned previously, this all started when I installed the SSD and cloned it to be the system drive. The only change to the BIOS was to make the SSD the first drive to boot.
I just reset the threshold, rebooted, and the alarm went off - the threshold is 0. Run as administrator is checked. Regards. Peter

yf38 Jun 5, 2011 12:19 AM (in response to pwertz)Hi,
I have a DH67GD (same bios, same drivers) and when upgrading the bios from 105 to 110 I had strange values reported by IDU.
This was solved going to the the bios and using the "load default values" command, before setting again mine, and this solved the issue.
Upgrading then to 119 I did the same just after upgrading, so I cannot comment if the same problem is present.
When upgading to bios 119 I also installed the new release of the management engine driver.

13. Re: Intel Desk Top Utility v. 3.1.4.031 Problem
yf38 Jun 5, 2011 7:39 AM (in response to pwertz)If I remember well, no, I did not remove IDU for this purpose.
If you have to uninstall IDU you need first to stop it, but because there is no command to stop it, at my knowledge, you need either to stop the processes in the task manager, or (better) to avoid IDU service startup unchecking it in administrative tools / system configuration / services and then restart.
Sorry, if you need, you can uninstall the normal way, the above solution was for another situation, when the utility window should be on the screen and is not visible (yes, this may happen sometimes, intelmain.exe process started but no GUI on the screen ).
