HEEEELP! I've tried everything
Loaded up my system and started some gradual overclocking and everything seemed fine until I run Prime95.
I'm running 2 instances of it and it seems ok for a minute or two. One core looks to be running at 100% the other at 50%. Is that normal or should they both be at 100%? Anyway on one instance i get to Test 4 while the other one is still at Test1 and that's it. No errors. They still seem to be running, but make no progrss beyond those tests. CPU usage has dropped to minimal levels. The system is very laggy if I try and do something else on it as if Prime95 is still going full bore.
I dropped all BIOS settings back to their default levels and that hasn't helped. I'd appreciate any suggestions and comments. Thanks
My new system:
E6600
Asus P5B Deluxe
2GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400
XFX GeForce7950
2x Seagate 320GB SATAII
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Antec P180
WinXP SP2 Pro
