Finding out why Windows 8 reboots during the PEI test
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:36 pm
The command-line version of the PEI test is called winsat. I ran it on my most recent z510 under Windows 8 to test the graphics component of the performance experience and find out why the system reboots. From what I could find, the system reboots directly after the dx9 and dx10 tests, not during. If the local Compulab DOS guru has some spare Time, he might want to run the winsat program from the Dosbox himself. Microsoft gets the error message report when I do these things, but doesn't seem too motivated to issue any fixes for the problem.
