Hello,

Im currently running a:

Foxconn c51xem2AA Mobo.
Amd x2 5200 at 2.92MHZ , 1.4v Core temp says 32C idle load is about 48C
OCZ ram Timings are 5-5-5-15 2cmd at 1.975V

Now my issue is this, when i Run orthos about 50 minutes into the test i get this: here is the error

1:FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
1:Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
1:Torture Test ran 47 minutes 22 seconds - 1 errors, 0 warnings.
1:Execution halted.

2:Torture Test ran 47 minutes 22 seconds - 0 errors, 0 warnings.
2:Execution halted.

Is there anything i can do to Remedy this??
3dmark06 runs fine, games run fine, Also memtest has never failed, i've ran memtest for about 2 hours with zero errors. I dont wish to OC any further im happy at 2.9, i just want to be stable.

Here are screenshots of my temps/volts/bus speeds/timings and stuff, i hope they work, Thanks for the help, any advice is greatly appreciated.

HT Link looks a little high to me. back it off from 5x to 4x. Also, you should try giving your proc a little more voltage to help stabilize Orthos.

Good Luck

Thanks for the tip, i just lowered it to 4x, The HT link is now at 900Mhz. Will run orthos again in a few mins.

Update:

Orthos failed again.

1:FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
1:Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

Im getting the same Rounding error. Could it be my timings?? they are all stock, at 5-5-5-15 cmd2, but in the bios all the timings are set to auto.. Could it also be that i got 4gigs of ram on xp?? i know xp doesnt read all that ram it only reads 3 gigs.. but i'll be installing vista 64bit in a few days, and i wanted to have the ram in there..
 
What happens if you add a tad more voltage? Whenever I've gotten those errors, I've rectified them doing 1 of 2 things, (or both on occasion).

1.) Add more voltage
2.) Lower the temperature somehow (i.e. less voltage or lower the overclock)

You can try loosening your timings, but I'm unfamiliar with DDR2 timings since I'[m still on DDR.

Good Luck!
 
add more vcore. you said you pass memtest at your current setting. if you want to confirm again, try looping test5 a few times. but that doesn't look like it's pushing ram all that much, and I'd figure it to be ok.
 
I added more voltage. currently at 1.425v .. I think that did it, ORthos has been running for over an hour without any errors, i would usually get errors around 40 minutes. I'll leave it running at night and see how it does. Thanks for the advice guys.
