MSI Special Features

PC Alert™ III

The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the application CD. The utility is just like your
PC doctor that can detect the following PC hard­ware status during real time operation:

ö monitor CPU & system temperatures
ö monitor fan speed(s)
ö monitor system voltage
ö monitor chassis intrusion

If one of the items above is abnormal, the program
main screen will be immediately shown on the
screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red.
This will continue to be shown until user disables
the warning.

NOTE: The PC Alert is not compatible with
the LCD Control Service (see page 1-7). If you want to run one of the two, you
should stop the other in the service manager or make sure there is only one
service running.
