As long as Fan in Inspiron-2600 works, similar program runs over a night. Sometimes it runs on Latitude V740 for 3 hours.
Our Latitude V740 was shipped with BIOS A06 which makes Fans not running under Win2000 in most time. In this situation, only DA (Analog out) is stopped in 5 to 30 minutes although AD (Analog In) is always working. Nidaq32.sys may stop DA (not jumping to Progress routine) when the power save mode of Latitude becomes active and Fans do not run.
Finally BIOS was replaced from A06 to A07 thelatest version and Intel Speedstep was cancelled. Then programs has run over a night. This solution was adviced by your local staff in Japan yesterday.
Thanks,
