    I can't launch GPU-Z without the system BSOD'ing immediately. This isn't on my main Clevo system in my signature but a brand new cheap and cheerful Acer ES1-131 with Windows 8.1 64bit.

    I get the error: 'system service exception (gpu-z.sys)'

    Not sure what's going on here. Any ideas?

    1) Are you running the latest GPU-Z v0.8.5

    2) What driver version are you running?

    3) Which GPU

    4) It's an ACER, no surprise

    It's crashing when trying to detect OpenCL support. I see the message 'During previous startup GPU-Z crashed at OpenCL detection. Would you like to re-enable OpenCL detection?' No matter whether I choose yes or no, it'll crash and go to BSOD. Latest version of GPU-Z, yes.

    I'm on the latest Intel driver for Windows 10 (crash also occurred with Windows 8.1). GPU is Intel HD Graphics (Gen8-LP). This doesn't happen on my Clevo (with Optimus).
