BSOD

CaseyChaos · 20 May 2009 at 21:34

I just got a new CPU and It's at stock settings. I ran prime after getting the first BSOD and nothing happened after 30mins, I ran my encoding software and it only last 10mins, done this 7times in a row.

'A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within'

That's the error I get on the BSOD screen.

Shuttle SG33G5
Intel Q9650
8800GS
4GB Corsair XMS
Vista Ultimate 32bit

What does this mean, how do I fix it?
Is it a dead chip out of the box?

what mobo do you have?

having done a quick google it seems this is reasonably common, and updating all your drivers (gfx mostly I think) normally fixes

Re-seat the CPU, check temps, Reset CMOS

The one that comes in the shuttle, FG33 according to CPU-Z

reset the CMOS, same thing happens, Temps are great, dropped 5 degrees on my Q6600 which I'm using now.

How would the GFX drivers be affected, all my drivers are up to date at the moment, could try reinstalling I spose.

From reading google it appears it has something to do with BIOS so either reset it or make sure its the latest version that may fix it.

The bios was reset and that didn't fix the problem.

I checked with shuttle before I got it and they said the Q9650 would work fine in my model of shuttle using the bios I already have.
Here
Halfway down the list it states Q9650 needs Bios SG33S112 which I have.

Anyone have any other ideas? I'm leaving it out for the night and seeing how the rest of the system holds up, then I will get the CPU tested in a different pc if I can, try and rule out the chip being faulty. If both come up working fine then I need to work out why they won't work together.

does memtest86 run ok?

CaseyChaos · 21 May 2009 at 03:05

Yeah memory is fine, haven't changed that. System is rock solid at the moment with old CPU back in. 400mhz rated ram working at 417mhz stock volts, perfectly for 8months, was running it at 333mhz with the Q9650 at stock.

Well I rang the shop I got it from and they suggested I take it in and they can test it, so hopefully it's faulty and the new one works fine. If not then back to the drawing board.
