    I believe that the driver is not signed perhaps? To check if this is the case, reboot your machine, but press F8 when booting so you get to choose from options such as starting up windows in safe mode etc. From that menu you need to choose "Start windows without driver signing enforcement" or something like that. Try to install and run I8kfanGUI again.

    If it works, then you can google ReadyDriverPlus. This is a program which automatically changes your machine to boot into this mode all the time, at the cost of a few seconds on your boot time.
