Early Unit End?

I had some massive stability problems with one of my processors, and the other one was in a close second. However, even when one would load windows fine and do just about anything without problem, it consistantly had Early Unit Ends, whereas the second one would do fine (I see one early Unit End in the extended log) until windows just plain wouldn't load anymore.

:confused: Is there a method to this madness? Both machines are 99% stable now, no problems running anything in the past few days now on either machine.
 
Have you tried prime95-ing them for 24 hours to see if it generates any kind of errors?

Also, memtest never hurts either. Worth a try anyway...

Alas, I can't prime for 24 hours, I need my PC's too often to do that. :p Memtest has never seemed to work for me at all... Not to mention, I only have one FDD, and it happens to be a part of a 386 system... I don't think it even works anymore. :(

My main system (with the 2600+ Mobile) is at a conservative 2.4 ghz, and my 2500+ is running at stock speeds (and, I might add, just freakin tearing up WU right now!).
 
That sounds like the trouble I had with one of my folding duallies.
Windozes loaded ok but had about a 25% failure rate with F@H work units.
Early end units and not being able to download runable work units.
Turned out to be a bad memory stick.

If no floppy drive then burn the Memtest.iso to a CD and use that to check your memory.

Luck........... :D

You can also download the Ultimate Boot CD, and torture the heck out of you're rig.

I'll drink to you're success. Hell, I'll drink to anything. Try the system performance test from the UBCD. It can identify bad RAM chips by location. One of my rigs runs 4 RDRAM chips and it identified the specific chip for me, when I blew one out.

Wow. I'll have to give that a shot when I get enough money to buy some blank CD's. ;)

My dual PII folding box appears to have lost either a processor or a stick of RAM. It'll download a WU, and instantly, it fails.
