ive just got my a64 3800+x2 to 2.6ghz keep trying to use superpi mod 1.5 and start 1mb test and keeps stopping and coming up with (not in exact round). what does this mean. the cpu is prime95 stable for 24 hours. but not superpi now why is this....does anyone know.
 
It means that SuperPI is not generating the correct calculation result that is expected from it.

So there is a calculation error somewhere.

My thoughts would be to run either OCCT or S&M (the later being the most stressful) and see if it passes those.

I like everything to pass for my clocks, including 3D which means running games, 3d benchmarks and stuff.

I'd guess it's your memory; try a lower divider or slackening off the timings and see if it runs then. Alternatively the memory may need more volts; but I'd check what volts the RAM will take before increasing it.

Hope this helps

When you say prime, what type? Small, large or blend? Say for instance, you use small, the DDR memory is not involved, only cache.
 
I'm with Topitoff - when mine did this it was the DCCD RAM. I changed the divider to 90% and everything was fine. But it simply means that your system is not stable.
