Orthos error - please help!!

mishima · 9 May 2007 at 23:14

Hi there,

I have just come to run orthos to compare new temperatures in my new modded case, and orthos errors when I try to stress it under the blend mode in Orthos. This is not a new overclock so I don't understand why it occurs, does anyone have any idea what it means?

This is worrying me

When I run the CPU stress only it doesn't fail.

Yeah I performed the overclock about 5 or so weeks ago. I ran Orthos for several hours with no failures etc.

To re-do an overclock is it best to clear CMOS first?

mishima · 10 May 2007 at 11:54

Ok, I have cleared CMOS and I went into BIOS to disable certain features in the "CPU Feature" section so that I could begin overclocking, when I save and reboot the system just hangs and the monitor light just flashes green I get nothing onscreen. I have to clear CMOS again. I have tried it quite a few times and the same thing happens. I'm running on default settings at the moment. EDIT: Just checked and my CPU is running at 1500MHz?? (E6600).

Can anyone assist me please?

I've got an Abit AB9 Pro, I will go try that what you suggested. Thanks.

Ok as I mentioned, I can't even alter the CPU features to enable an overclock or anything. Each time I try to set something in the BIOS and save it comes up with 2 A (which isn't in the manual) on the LED POST indicator and the monitor light just flashes and the system hangs with black screen and fans spinning.

Ok, I think I've sorted out the BIOS issue. I remembered that by default my GeIL doesn't work properly and that last time it needed the voltages altering to work, when I cleared CMOS this obviously reset the settings back to the default for the RAM and thus the voltage returned to its unstable setting. I have set it back to 2.1v and now I have CPU features customised and the overclock is fully working

Just done a good session on Orthos, reported no problems. So this problem has now been resolved.
