Schweet! I hope it works because it's a great stresser.

I thought I'd mention that my initial post was based on the fact that P95TT was running smooth and Gromacs blew up on my overclocked 2100+ T-bred B so not just the C1 prefetch is at issue here at least in my mind .

Stop the Insanity! Do not overclock anything in your system! Intel is going to stop overclockers dead in their tracks! Enthusiasts will run to AMD only to find them Hammered as well. Remember, you have been warned! All your corrupt output belongs to you, overclocker!

This is the silliest thread ever! Don't run P95,
Torture test = run win95!
LOL, anyways. My point is, you guys know that Windows itself is just one freakin' HUGE LOOP!

I just started folding a couple of weeks ago and already have found problems with two of my AMD systems. These systems are not OC'd and have been running fine for almost a year. They are an 1800xp and 1700xp. Both of them crashed while folding. Turns out (after RMA) that it was a heat issue. Both had the stock retail coolers. The new one's I recieved have not crashed in a week of 24/7 folding. I must says that the new one's are T-bred "B's". My P4 2.26 oc'd to 2.72 has not had a problem while folding. I am trying to dig up another older Athlon XP to do some more testing.

i was just gonna say "cant you like save the GROMACS wu and have itjust process it, but not send it in?"

or even i fyou have to send it in, does it make a difference lol?

//edit
for the post over at asusboards.com linked above:

what about making a copy command and have it copy/paste the GROMACS wu into a sub directory in the working directory
that way, even if the wu is delted, theres a copy of it in the sub directory
..would that work?
(i dont even know if you can code a "copy/paste" command lol...maybe you can in vb or i dunno, maybe c/c++ lol?)

I found this in the prime95 help section:

New features in Version 21.2 of prime95.exe



1. The program now uses the SSE2 instructions introduced on the Pentium 4 CPU. This version is about 3 times faster than the previous version on a P4.

Oh, I stand corrected.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 has been crashing on me (rebooting) after 18 to 36 holes.System was prime stable.We definitly need a new stress tester.

 

[THUGSROOK]

hehe ~ golf sounds like a fun stress test

~be the ball

<EDIT> i can see the quotes now "i played 47 holes, so im gonna concider it stable"

I think the thread was about stress testing the CPU, not the user.

I remember when divx first came out and flaskmpeg was the big kid on the block (is it still?) It would crash frequently on my 300a @ 450 and at 300! The program itself just wasn't stable. I've been somewhat leery of encoding programs as stress testers since then. I take it these programs now have code we can count on?

 

[THUGSROOK]

we are using dvd2avi and nanodub for our stress testing

 

[Duvie]

I can agree that divx and divx codecs can be rather buggy and unstable, but when you can successfully run it all day and not have it crash at same speed with more vcore then it has to be cpu dependent and not software...I never had it crash with my 1.6a B0 stepping chip....I am using same program....

Also I have had it happen with some pretty well-known programs...Autocadd 2002!!!!
