Missing MSR_EBL_CR_POWERON(0x2A) caused GPU-Z BSOD => Fixed in SVN

Description
This BSOD is easy to reproduce by just download and run GPU-Z. However it's also very easy to fix by adding MSR_EBL_CR_POWERON(0x2A) in cpumQueryGuestMsrInt() function. Please consider fixing it.
Thanks.

Many MSR fixes after 4.3.6, therefore could you check if this test build fixes the problem for you?

Do you have extension pack too? (tried making up a url but it didn't work)
comment:4 by , 10 years ago
Current error message running GPU-Z could be due to lack of extensions/guest additions: "Could not start driver: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

The message was from GPU-Z trying to install prior to updating the guest additions.
Installed guest additions (didn't realise they aren't part of extpack). GPU-Z installs and runs. No graphics card reported. Is that what it's meant to be?? (see screenshot)

Likely. The graphics adapter ("VirtualBox Graphics Adapter for Windows Vista and 7") is apparently successfully installed in your guest. The "unavailable" strings in your screenshot are probably the result of CPU-Z not knowing the VBox graphics adapter. To me it looks like your issue with the MSR is fixed with the 4.3.7 test build.

Seems to work fine as far as this bug goes, same as test build. Will run GPU-Z without crash. GPU-Z can't detect video adapter as before.

I know it probably belongs somewhere else, but GPU-Z did detect VirtualBox Graphics Adapter for someone using VBox 3.x. See http://www.geeks3d.com/20090621/quick-test-virtualbox-3-0-and-opengl-2-0/.

The MSR issue is fixed in 4.3.8. GPU-Z not being able to detect the display adapter is most likely not a bug because VirtualBox emulates its own graphics card with some 3D extensions. If you don't agree, please open a separate ticket.
VB 4.3.6 on MacOS 10.6.8 Windows 7 Pro Guest.
I can confirm that running GPU-Z will crash VB and cause Windows to restart.
(There is also a problem with VRAM detection, which is why I wanted to run GPU-Z to start with. Will post on that separately when I figure where to put it.)
