Description:


Ever since I installed PrimoCache, System Mechanic ver 18.0.1.391 detects it is crashing.
Other wise it seems to work well, except for these constant pop up warnings from System Mechanic.
Maybe it's a System Mechanic issue?

I'd uninstall System Mechanic. Been using Primocache for ~5-6 years now, it never crashes. It's a kernel-level piece of software, so if it *did* crash, the system would bluescreen along with it. System Mechanic is not being honest with you.

if I remember right, System Mechanic does have disk driver filter (defrag tool) which could interfere with Primocache driver. Try disabling it and see what happen. Also running the registry cleaner after installing Primocache could remove the necessary entry.

I have bad experience with Sys Mech in the past.

Thanks for the input.
I turned off a few settings in System Mechanic that were redundant with PrimoCache. Like AccelerWrite and Defrag System drive which isn't used anyway.

I don't need Sys Mech but I like it as a reminder to do general maintenance and registry clean up in a 'one stop shopping' kind of situation. It is also useful for doing things that are over my head like configuring optimal network connection settings or flushing memory before doing something demanding. Sys Mech reported Low Memory so I reduced the L1 Primo Cache from 4GB to 2GB out of my 16GB. Now I am using about 8GB at idle.

edit: These latest changes did the trick. No more false alarms!

so if you want a smart maintenance of your pc, I use ccleaner pro /w smartclean and diskeeper 2018 pro. I been using this combo for the past 5 years without a problem with primocache. Safe and simple is the best route.
