SOB error message

[deerslayer]

I got my new crucial 2700 today, so i put it in and decided to go for a higher overclock. I bumped it to 172, boots up fine, is still running fine, but SoB will not run. It gives me this error message:

Internal computation error
[mismatched sums]! Check your
memory/processor. Test will restart

I'm assuming it means my overclock failed, but the computer is running okay. Has anyone else encountered this? I emailed Louis about it, but my guess is that the client realized my overclock has a problem and wont run....what do you think?

I've had this error while testing an overclock... i just restarted sob and it worked fine after that.

 

[Confused]

I've had this while I've been overclocking my XP.

It will boot and appear to be OK at 2.1GHz, but it will come up with that error for me. If i back off to about 2.06GHz then I can run SB without that error for days.


As SB uses the same basic engine as Prime95, then I feel that an error with SB is comparable to an error with P95 (which everyone recommends for stability testing)

So, i'd say tone the O/C down a little 😉

Yeah, I fired up SETI to see if that would run, and I ended up with a BSOD after about a half hour. I think that my power supply is too weak for the amount of stuff I have so i'm going to try again after I pull some stuff out 🙂

hehe, I'm overclocked to 2.226 and my sob is running at a whopping 900cems/sec!
I think thats a record!
....apprently this program doesn't appreciate overclocking as much as sandra and 3dmark =]

:Q

Or do you mean 900cems/sec/day average?
The cpu in my sig is running at a respectable 246000cems/sec right now.
