Hi dev(s), is it possible to add logic in the app to allow it to recover after the nvidia driver recovers from a crash/reset too?

This is a great tool to help manage quite a few fans using more explicitly defined logic than what bios tools permit us to do.

Issue: The one issue I have is that when my nvidia driver resets either manually triggered or via a crash, it recovers and windows carries on like normal.

However this app is indeed hooked to the driver via some interface to help it control fans and monitor temps, and when the said driver crashes and recovers, this app unfortunately doesn't, it has to be closed and restarted, not a helpful fact considering this app is managing fans keeping hardware cool and safe indeed.

How to reproduce: You can simulate a driver reset by using the 'restart64.exe' executable, run it as admin to force a driver reset (it literally just restarts the graphics driver without a need to reboot the machine).

The aforementioned tool is available in the CRU EDID package zip > direct-download link = https://www.monitortests.com/download/cru/cru-1.5.2.zip CRU website: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

Request: If at all possible please do add the logic to compensate for GPU driver resets so that FanControl can recover nicely and carry on like a champ without requiring user-intervention if lucky enough to prevent the worst.

It is certainly possible! Basically a self-refresh mechanism, kinda what's happening when FanControl recovers from a sleep/resume cycle. Danger is to overdo it, but I will take a look.

can confirm that FanControl shuts down for me when I run CRU restart as well, and I'm using an AMD GPU.
