3dMark01 SE problems... random quitting?

[Shortass]

As the title states, when running 3dMark01 SE it usually, and randomly, quits. No error message, no freezing, just back to desktop. It does it sometimes in the 1st minute, other times in the 3th minute, and I got all the way through once. Is there something I can do to make my system more stable?

Mobile Athlon 2600+
Abit NF7-S
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro
1GB Kingmax PC-3500
Enermax 460w
Antec P160

Edit: I've yet to overclock anything yet. I'm giving it a week or so. Stock voltages (CPU is actually undervolted a bit, as the board is doing that apparently...set to 1.45, getting 1.44)

How's your CPU temps? I hate to ask - but did you install the HSF correctly? 😉

- M4H

 

[Shortass]

The temps (at the moment) at about 40 degrees Celcius.

3dmark2001SE only crashes for me when my mobiles aren't running with enough voltage, but you said you're on stock settings. What FSB and multiplier are you running at for "stock", exactly?

 

[Shortass]

Um, heh. I knew the stock was 2GHz, So I set it to 200x10 @ 1.45 (really 1.44, I guess the NF7-S undervolts). Should I raise the voltage?

Try it at the stock FSB/multiplier (166x12?) with stock voltage first...

I have similar problem when my mobile barton is undervolted, once I raised the voltage enough, the problem goes away. You might also want to test the stability of your system with Prime95 as well.
