A week ago, HWBot decided to block all recorded results obtained with the use of the operating system Windows 8.
During the study of the problem revealed that strangeness with a timer appears only in systems based on Intel processors , solutions from the opposite camp are free.
Thus, the well-known overclocker Christian Ney, found out that when you install Windows 8 on Intel the parameter useplatformclock is lost ("No"). In the case of AMD platforms parameter correctly switched to "Yes", what is the cure for the disease.
Self-cure system can be using the console command "bcdedit / set {current} useplatformclock Yes".
