CPU sensors weird issue?

[JerryJack]

Never overclocked, same day tuned it off then later on and half the CPU sensors are gone, this is a laptop I been using for like a year and half, however, another software from CPUID HWMonitor actually does show the info, so can anyone explain me whats going on? Also, already downloaded the latest HWinfo, even the beta version and same result.

Weird stuff like this can happen.

One time my fans showed as spinning at 25,000 RPM so sometimes sensors can just act up.

Umm sure but this is persistent now, I have turned it off, restarted and its still happening, I now realized as well that the total amount of ram the software is showing is wrong so wtf

I just want to know if I should be worried about the hardware and if there's anyway to tell hwinfo to gather the sensor info from somewhere else

Do you have other monitoring software running in the background?

Nope, just that one, I use it with rtss to quickly identify issues in games or software, so its within the first things to open.

It can happen, but it's rare that an update to one monitoring piece of software can brick another piece of software.
See if any of them have updated recently (or from the last time it worked)
If not, stick with HWmonitor. I've been using it for years without issue.

I didn't updated (as far as I'm aware) anything and this is windows 7, I have automatic updates disabled, just turned it off then on later and it was like that, but sure I would use HWmonitor if it could display the info on screen.

try right clicking on them in HWinfo and "Enable Monitoring" ?

Actually, I was going to post I solved it, didn't let me click enable, but did let me disable it and then enable it again and now works fine. But thanks for your answer, that would have guided me in the same direction.
