DPAD stats collected from Free-DC ('yesterday' column).
Official TeAm stats from the DPAD site.

*****************************************************************************************
Oooo FMC's bringin' on the challenge!
We'll see how it goes when I have DPAD running 24/7 again!

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the numbers, Mark!

 

[GLeeM]

Thanks for the stats, Assimilator1

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Do my eyes deceive me? Did I pass you for a day? :evil:

 

[Assimilator1]

*grabs old 540MB HDD & lobes it at FMCs cruncher!*



Yea I was probabley stability testing 1/2 that time .

 

[compudog]

DPAD has been borked for me. I have to hard reset. It's not temperature related.

 

[Assimilator1]

A?, care to expand on that?
Hard reset what?

 

[compudog]

After running for a time (18 to 20 hours) my PC will be locked/frozen, and I have to hard reset the computer. Event Viewer shows a System Error (Category 102) Event (1003) sometimes... There isn't always a corresponding error that comes with the freeze. Temps are fine (42 to 45 C when at full load)

Win XP SP3, Opteron 185/2 GB DDR/Asus A8N SLI Premium - currently no overclock on anything.

 

[Assimilator1]

Hmm, that's a buggar!, if you run OCCT or Prime95 what happens? will it pass for 24hrs?

Prime 95, full CPU load has run OK for 18 hours. Still going...

 

[Assimilator1]

So far so good, will be interesting to see if it goes 24hrs, although TBH I have had a rig pass P95 for 24hrs & yet it fails F@H (EUEs) SMP within minutes! literally!:Q

I've heard that OCCT is a stricter test (hence I use that now), although I haven't proved that to myself yet.

 

[compudog]

Prime 95 OK. I downloaded OCCT and have started playing with it. On the 1 hour test with OCCT I had a "Error Detected on core #1" Default timings (OCCT reports CPU MHz as 1809.19, FSB 201.02MHz Ripple 0.19 (1.60%) )

Funny thing is DPAD is running Background since last night, with no problems?

...Edited for goofy markup...

 

[Assimilator1]

That seems to prove OCCT is a better test!

I'm not sure that DPAD will stop it's current work if it finds an error, or if it does maybe you'd not notice unless you look through the logs, I'll have to ask Stephen about this.

 

[compudog]

OCCT completed. Still shows the CPU1 error. DPAD is currently running, CPU @ 100% load. CPU @ 53 degrees C. Could have been a fluke?

 

[Assimilator1]

I don't quite get what you mean ref OCCT, if it errored it should of stopped & opened up a explorer window with a bunch of graphs.

Btw you want to run OCCT for 24hrs for best stabilty test.

I'm going to post in the DPAD forum to find out what DPAD does on h/w errors.

 

[compudog]

I checked my computer remotely today (14:00) and all was well. DPAD running, CPU @ 100%. Just checked it again at 21:00 and it had rebooted "Windows has recovered from a serious error"

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 1003
Source: System Error
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: ER_KRNLCRASH_LOG
Message: Error code %1, parameter1 %2, parameter2 %3, parameter3 %4, parameter4 %5.

Odd. I will run OCCT 24 hr test, no DPAD.

 

[Assimilator1]

Keep us posted.

Opps, haven't done the stats in a while , will do some tomorrow.

 

[compudog]

DPAD has been running fine. OCCT still gives me an error on CPU1, but I don't know how to make the error go away. Go figure?

 

[Assimilator1]

DPAD's been running fine AFAYK , I doubt you'll spot an error unless you scanned all the logs. (No replie to my thread in the DPAD forum about this yet).

When OCCT gives an error do you have an explorer window open with a bunch of graphs to look at? (their should be).

 

[compudog]

Yes, OCCT pukes out a bunch of graphs showing an error with CPU1. Currently DPAD has been running for 48 hours with no trouble. Perhaps some other software (Windows Update?) caused the problem. I don't think the problem was DPAD, but when DPAD was running (CPU@ 100%) the machine was freezing. I will report back if I have any additional grief.

 

[Assimilator1]

I don't think you get what I mean with DPAD, what I'm saying is that if DPAD does encount an error it may not stop at all or bomb out, it may simply just start another simulation*. Or maybe you just meant that your PC hadn't frozen recently with DPAD?

*Although that's unconfirmed atm, & I never said or implied DPAD was the problem .

Anyway if OCCT pukes out then you do have a problem, AFAIK no other s/ware running will cause it to error.
When you run OCCT you shouldn't run any other CPU intensive programs alongside, otherwise OCCT might not get the CPU power to test it.

What program are you using to measure temps?

If you have 2 sticks of RAM pull 1 out & test again with OCCT, if it fails again then try the other stick. (Btw before you do that double check the RAM voltage is still right, mainly if your RAM has a default voltage over the standard 2.5v for DDR).
Whilst you're in there check to see if any of the big caps near the CPU socket have bulged (on top or bottom).

Yes, PC has not frozen recently runnind DPAD.

Asus PC Probe II utility.

I have run with 1 stick of RAM and the problem is still there. I swapped RAM and it's still there. (In the interest of time, I only ran the 1 hour test, but usually within 30 minutes, OCCT would give me the error and graphs.)

All the caps look fine.

 

[Assimilator1]

OK it's not your RAM then (assuming the RAM voltage is right), how do all the PCs voltages look whilst under load?
Is your RAM voltage setting OK?

Just to be sure about temps, try running CoreTemp & see if the readings are the same.
