I was tweaking my system and running 3dmark to see what kind of results I was getting, but when I run it I either freeze during the 1st cpu test or I get an error:
IDirect3DDevice9: Present Failed: Devicelost (D3DEER_Devicelost)
Any ideas? Keep in mind my system is Prime95 stable for over 10 hours and my temps are all fine.
Thanks in advance!
 
Which Prime95 test did you use to test for 10-hr stability?

And, can we assume that by mentioning 'the first CPU test' as the failure point, that the video card tests all work? Do 3dMark03 and/or 06 work? (03 you can actually loop just the game tests - that might be interesting to see if it's just a few minutes of 3d work that the card is dying on).
 
Farcry and Civilizations 4 quit on me after a few minutes of playing too, my comp just restarts. Yes all the video card tests work on 05.

For prime95 I set it up special for the dual cores...each instance uses 850mb of ram. Stock settings are now also giving me grief too though.

This just recently happened to me and I thought I narrowed it down to 1 of my ram sticks so I RMAed them. I just got the new ones yesterday. Ive been having alot of trouble OCing the RAM to DDR540 for a 1/1 and did have trouble with my last batch too, which is another reason I wanted to RMA them.

I don't believe its possible, with a reliable power source, to fry RAM at lower than advertised speed (The most I could get was DDR486) with loose timings, and without changing the voltage.

Maybe I am going to have to reinstall windows with fresh drivers? I am at a loss if that doesn't work.
 
It does *sound* more like a video card problem or overclocking problem.

If you take *everything* down to stock clocks and voltages, do you still get the same error in the same places?

And...do you have a different card you could try?
 
Ya I had just thought that. I ran memtest to make sure its not the ram, and it ran through fine with no errors. But my video card started screwing up, not displaying stuff so I switched that one with the secondary and ran 3dMark again. This time I got to the second cpu test, but still froze. I'm going to try the other video card right now.
 
same deal with the second one, I get to second cpu test and freeze. I guess I'll just format and reinstall :(
 
Today success is spelled S T R O K E R. Reinstalling windows worked thank god. Thanks for your guys help
 
wierd... I get this problem only if another program is running when doing 3dmark (the error message not the crashing). This usually occurs for me when AVG kicks in while the test is running.
