Prime stabe, Super Pi, unstable

Slinwagh · 10 Oct 2008 at 10:03

I have my PC overclocked, it is Prime stable, 24 hours for both a small FFT test and a Blend Test.

However when I try a Super Pi test it will crash, that is with both a 1 and 2 Meg test.

Any ideas?

super pi is a cpu mainly test so it miust be somthing to do with the cpu, have you tried any other stress test i think the intel one is fairly harsh?

Just Prime for stress testing, what is the Intel tool?

or OCCT?

Well I just ran an 8 cycle test with the Intel Burn tool and it passed.

Orthos next !!!

you on vista?

silly fix if its the problem i think it is, when its asks ok to run the test, move the ok box to a corner of the screen before you click ok.

1 hour Orthos test was stable too.

hummmmm hav you tried downloading a new version of super pi might b yours it corupt somehow?

Incidentally, how long was the memory wall tested for?

24 hour small FFT test and a 8 hour Blend test.

Try OCCT some people don't like it but I've found it will often trip inside 20 minutes on faults that otherwise took 8 hours in multi prime/orthos to show up.

As super Pi (atleast 1-2M tests) will usually run fine even on systems that aren't 1 minute prime stable I'd look elsewhere before blaming it on the CPU.

Standard 1 hour OCCT test was stable.
