Usage Recorder

Hi All

Im after a program that runs in the background and records on like a line graph the usage of my computer...

Would be great if it recorded all these things:

CPU (preferably each core) Usage
CPU temp
GPU Usage
GPU Ram Usage (is this possible?)
GPU temp
Ram Usage
HDD Usage (if possible)
FPS (with time so I can refer to the usages above)

Is there something like this available? I basically want to run games and when finished go and look to see what is peaking etc and when, and if its holding it back.

Thanks
 
For resources, Sysmetrix can do it:

I haven't tried it before, but I'm fairly sure there is an option to make Process Explorer draw permanent graphs for resource usage as well:

for temperatures, I know that MSI Afterburner will show GPU temperatures and usage, but for other temps, I suppose HWMonitor would work, it will show peak temperatures, which is basically what you would look for I guess
 
Tried both of those... Couldnt seem to get a permanent graph..

Like I want something that I turn on, go play a game, come back and turn off... And it generates a graph of that entire time, from turn on to turn off.

Thanks
 
Cheers guys...

So Im using Speedfan for the CPU it doesnt give me usage though... I using MSI something or other for GPU... That gives me everything which is nice...

I just need one for ram really?

Basically what Im investigating is this... My computer sometimes randomly crashes etc (grey screen etc then reset)... I want to know what is causing this...

I think it might be my graphics over heating, but I read somewhere that they can go up to 120 degrees? And I played Supreme commander 2 last night with the above things running and at full usage my graphics card was only 78 degrees... Though it didnt crash that time... My CPU never got above 42 degrees so it cant be that.

The other thing Im investigating is how Mount n Blade Warband uses the computer... Cause I have a battle size editor on... However when I have 600+ men in the battle my computer slows down really hard out (like sub 10fps)... I have read of other people on their forums with worse computers than mine who easily play with 1000 men with little to no slow down...

So I wanted to figure out exactly what is peaking in my system when this epic slow down occurs... Ive also had the game crash numerous times during these slow downs...

Cheers

If the computer or graphics reset automatically after the greyscreen, it's probably not the power supply or CPU. If they have a serious issue, a manual reset or cycle power should be required.

If you can't find a logging program, interrupt the game periodically to check temperature.
 
Hm... Grey screen, that was an issue on the 5000 series cards with older drivers. What version of catalyst are you running?
