Ok guys, I had been having a hell of a time getting my E4300 to do anything over 3.17... So I swapped in my e6300 and 3.45 is very stable it seems (maybe even headroom) but I am having a problem...

Whenever I run Prime95 I get an error in the second instance that instantly kills the first. If I then try and start back the other instance it kills the one before it. It is just the normal rounding failure message.

I had a computer once before, that for the life of me would not be prime stable, yet it ran for a few years no glitches. But I am worried that I may be having a serious problem here... I do not know if it is a prime issue, or if I am just not stable. No BSOD or errors in games/crashes.... I would love some opinions. Are there errors in prime in windows vista 64? I had a similar problem even with the stable clocks and the e4300.... Could this be something else? If I lowers the speeds allot (3.0 ish) it seems to stop, yet I do not get errors if I run the test on just one core.

Well, here are the specs, and any help would be AWESOME :cool: Thanks!

ASUS P5N-e, 2gig buffalo firestix, 2x500gb WD sata drives, plextor sata dvd-rw, XFX7950gx2, audigy 2, linksys wrt45g wireless pci, OCZ modstream 450wattm koolance exos2 (NB and CPU only)
 
I'm assuming you have affinity set properly using two shortcuts (-A0 -A1) and in prime right?
 
With a dual core CPU it is best to run Orthos like everyone else is here.

If your computer is not Orthos stable then back your overclock down until it is.

You can game 24/7 on a computer that isn't Orthos stable and never have a problem. Games and many other apps are single threaded so they never stress your computer the way Orthos does.

If you want to claim that your computer and overclock is rock solid stable then you need to be able to run Orthos for at least 4 hours without it reporting any errors.
 
Can you run orthos on vista 64? I tried it a while ago, and I seem to recall it did not work,
