Extreme4 AXTU Crash on start up.

[DaddyBradley]

It was working fine, and out of the blue it crashes on every start up now. I already un/re installed it. I know its quite a popular board sooooo..... anyone else have/fix this issue??

I would say simply don't use it. I had an ASrock Extreme4-M board which I hated, but long story short those overclocking programs manufacturers throw in are bad and best not to be used. If you plan to overclock your CPU do it through BIOS.

Oddly, I had the exact same issue yesterday. I have to wonder if there has been some update to windows that has broken it. May I ask your system specs?

Same CPU as me, same version of Windows. I wonder if they updated something and borked the AXTU?

It could be, it wouldn't be surprising. These programs never have good support or anything. I've rather liked the one on my Biostar board, but all I use it for is voltage and temp monitor.

Overclocking the CPU from Windows is extremely unstable, but if you are just needing a system monitor, try OpenHardware Monitor, COREtemp, or Speedfan.

I was only using it to monitor things as well. I have Cpu-Z and RealTemp.

Those two should work well enough for you. They put a lot more effort into those than most motherboard companies put into making their software since the software with a motherboard is usually more something cheap and flashy to attempt to sell more boards. It doesn't really need to work since most people just see it as an extra anyways.
