Hi,
I have a Tyan Tiger MPX board with dual Athlon's (XP 1900's modded), 512mb PC2100 DDR ECC Reg Crucial Ram, 80GB WD SE HDD, Lite-On 40x Burner, Antec 400 watt p/w, ATI 8mb AGP Video. When I run RC5 I can run day and night 100% utilization on both processors and not have any hiccups or lockups, then when I go to prime95 it usually only lasts 60 minutes at the max. Temperatures hover around 50C for both processors and never over 55c which is not unreasonable in my opinion. I realize prime95 stress test is supposed to REALLY test the stability of your system so I was wondering what I could do to troubleshoot my stability problem? Where do I go from here so I can get prime95 to run 24/7? I have the latest bios on my motherboard and am using WinXP Build2600. I also receive random lockups about once a day for no apparent reason. Heat does not seem to be an issue but I could be wrong. Could it have anything to do with my modded processors? Please advise me with any information/recommendations to troubleshoot this. Thanks.
