I recently downloaded the software "Core Temps" to monitor as suggested by another member on the forums but it has cause my new pc build to freeze up and force me to power down manually. It wouldn't even let me "uninstall" the file as it said it was a corrupt file. I restarted and uninstalled, and deleted all the files I could find. As a newbie, is there any recommendations on how to ensure I have "permanently deleted/uninstalled" everything from this software? I ran malwarebytes and it didn't detect any problems. I read that Core Temps has been causing some issues with other Windows 8.1 users so that might be it?

Any other recommendations for free software to check my CPU temps? If you have a recommendation I would greatly appreciate a hyperlink as I sometimes get paranoid about finding them on random websites and being unsure whether it is safe to download. Thank you!

thanks, do you know if I have 8.1 full version would I need to download the 64 bit or 32 bit winrar? Again I am a super noob with PCs, thanks and here is a link that I found. http://www.winrar64bit.org/

Let me know if this looks right/should work with the core temp rar file!

yes it's 64-bit windows 8.1, and you're saying this version is designed to work with that OS without making it freeze/lag like the RC6 version? I will download it later and try out the new 1.0 RC7, thanks again
