BSOD Running Windows Experience Index

[cgrant]

Just got my new Ultima Vanquish system which runs like a dream however I get a Blue Screen of Death when I run the Windows Experience Index test.

I haven't changed any settings although the system came o'clocked already.

Always BSOD's on the CPU test. I am not bothered about the index particularly, just worried that it might indicate a more serious problem.

BSOD message is
"a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval"

Any ideas?

Thanks
Chris

Haven't run a game yet although will do now and see what happens.

CPU Temp is 48

System arrived o'clocked as Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz @ 3.80GHz

Would CPU voltage and other details help? Sorry, bit aof a o'clock noob

Oh dear! BSOD error "Uncorrectable hardware error" when I ran the Prime 95 test.

This doesn't look good!

Idle temps

Core Temp #0 Low 61 High 67
Core Temp #0 Low 57 High 67
Core Temp #0 Low 57 High 65
Core Temp #0 Low 56 High 68

Do these look too high for idling?

I did have to re-seat the CPU heatsing and fan as they had been loosened in transit. Would it be worth doing this again?

Thanks

Thanks, will give it another try. Might have to get some more thermal compound given I have taken the heatsink off and re-attached already.
Could this make a significant difference?
Thanks

It's a Titan Fenrir cooler

Interestingly the cooler on the Ultima Vanquish psec has been changed to a different one this week..

Thanks Happy.
Now to find a local supplier of thermal compound!

SORTED! Cheers Happy!

Bought some OCZ Freeze compound (Best I could get locally) and the machine is running a lot cooler.

All Core temps now range from 45 to 48 idle

Temp rose to about 85 max when I ran the Prime95 test you suggested. As a matter of interest, is 85 degrees OK when running this test or should I be looking for cooler?
How long should you normally run the 'small ffts' test for?

Cheers
