"FATAL ERROR: Reading from temp file" message with Prime95 Torture Test??

[cbuchach]

OK, so I use Prime95 all the time to test for a stable overclock. Once in a while I get the message stated in the topic post about an error reading from the temp file. I have on other occasions gotten hardware errors like so:

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

FATAL ERROR: Resulting sum was 1622622120745.789, expected: 1572948699014.885
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

And, I am sure these errors mean that I am trying to overclock too high and so I clock my chip down a bit. But, I am unsure if the failure to read from the temp file error also means a CPU/hardware error, or something else--maybe disk subsystem related?

Has anyone gotten this error message before and know what it means or why it is occuring??

I think that error has something to do with your memory for not able to handle such speed. But I might be wrong on this.

That is almost always the correct answer. Are you running a high FSB or aggresive RAM timings?

I have never gotten the reading from temp file error so am not sure what would be causing it. The other ones I have gotten from overclocking the processor. Don't think its memory errors when you get the rounding errors, its a problem that originates in the FPU.

Wish I could guess about the temp file error. Something is unhappy.
