I just built a new PC and am trying to get some benchmarks. When I first had it going I downloaded Sandra and it was working but now when I try to start it Sandra sends an error report and closes.
I emailed their tech support and he was good enough to mail me back.
My mail was:
His reply was:
I've tried all the Windows updates and Logitech updates for my Elite keyboard and wireless mouse. I got the updates for my Creative Labs Audigity and this didn't help.
The best as I can recall just before it started messing up I hooked up the mouse and keyboard, installed the Audigity drivers and flashed the BIOS.
Doing the BIOS gave me a very hard time. I have done this on a few Dells with no problems but I think I got mixed up on the file names I was supposed to use when I was following the ASUS instructions. Anyway somehow I got back to version 1014, the one I started with.
Also what does the "Chipset software Installation Utility V5.02.1003 do? I tried to use it I guess to update my chipset information but don't know if it did anything.
I took some screenshots of the error messages I am getting. If it helps here they are:
SandraError1.jpg 539K
SandraError2.jpg 868K
SandraError3.jpg 1105K
SandraError4.jpg 1103K
SandraError5.jpg 1050K
It goes on like this until it gets to Module 75 the goes into a very thing of memory reporting. A lot of the modules have to do with the ATI card.
Can anyone help me with how to resolve this? I really want to make sure everything is running up to expectations. I thought the Sandra benchmarks would be a good way to compare to similar systems.
Thanks

I'm trying to try out your program(sandra) and it keeps sending error reports and will not open.
His reply was:
DInput.dll is part of DirectInput, part of DirectX. Either one of your game controllers/keyboard/mouse drivers or DirectX itself has a problem. Try
Windows Update to check for any patches.
