It's a part of ASUS Smart Doctor (Graphics Card Overclovking and Monitoring Application) and not mandotory if you're a standard user.

Is for ASUS Mainboard
Doesn`t matter

EIO gehört zu ASUS Smart Doctor. Der Fehler entsteht offensichtlich durch die Deinstallation. Wenn jemand einen Hinweis hat, wo der Dienst geladen wird, wäre ich dankbar. Mein Registry-Scan zeigt mir nur den EIO, nicht aber seinen Aufruf.
