What does this prime 95 error mean?

[sean2002]

I have a Gaga-byte GA-8IHXP (850E) P4 2.26ghz and 256MB of Kingston PC-1066 (32ns)If I up my FSB to 136Mhz, I get a Prime 95 everytime I run the program, always at the same point. I get, Fatal error reading from temp file, test ran for 9 minutes and 1 second. @ the stock speed it runs fine. Am I just that unlucky that I can't overclock even a small amount?

you are either beyond ur overclocking limit, need more vcore voltage, need to relax your memory timing, or lowering memory ratio

It's RDRAM, the only setting is PC800 or Pc1066. I'm going to try upping the vcore and vdimm voltage a bit

I'd be surprised if that PIV doesn't run at 136fsb (=2.31GHz) at default voltage. You can try upping vcore .025-.05v, but I'd start with memory. Set memory to PC800, fsb to 140, and leave vcore at original and over rimm voltage to disabled. Run Prime95 again. Should indicate memory is the problem. If so, you can try enabling over rimm voltage, or leave at PC800 and see how high you can get the fsb. Maybe you can hit 156. That give you a 2.65GHz cpu speed and ~PC940 mem speed. Of course it's not a good idea to just set fsb to 156 without going in small increments (disclaimer).
