Sometimes SANDRA wun run bcoz dat some s/w libraries of yr Win need 2 be updated, version prob. be it d O/S or SANDRA, proprietary BIOS etc.

Let us know d ver. of SANDRA u r using, yr CPU/mobo specs., O/S etc.

I assume dat u r using d PC as in yr sig.

I'd suspect dat yr nVIDIA Firewall is blocking SANDRA from acquiring h/w & network info. from d sys. thus causing SANDRA 2 wait indefinitely (not responding)...

Try ending d suspended SANDRA thread(s), disable yr firewall temporarily & relaunch SANDRA again.

Assuming dat ZA or nForce FW is d prob., u may set an exception 4 SANDRA in d firewall...

If dat doesn't solve d prob., u may consider Ngto suggestion, as I've XPrienced such phenomenon b4 wif other D/Ls on some mirror servers which have corrupted image of a file, unfortunately.

U may also consider fru!tloOp suggestion 4 alternatives esp. EVEREST which @ d moment d hottest sys. diagnostic prog. like SANDRA, but better!

Good luck!
