Problem -- Prime 95 stability

[SilverSliver]

Normally I have my rig OC'd, 5:4 divider, 1.56v on the core 250 FSB - Running games, doing various tasks, so on and so forth it has been stable for weeks.

Put in my XP90 today, and was doing the Prime 95 burn in, and as soon as I start the test I get a rounding error and the test halts.

How significant is this error, I never get BSOD's or crashes, but this error has me curious, especially how to get rid of it.

as long as its stable thats what matters

as long as you dont do anything like F&H which is dependant on your cpu being 100% accurate.

As long as it's stable with your other stuff, Prime95 errors are nothing to fret over.

lol prime95 errors mean its not stable, you will eventually get memory errors / bluescreens if your prime unstable.

I run prime and loop 3d01 together... 6 hours is good enough for me. Gets things nice and toasty plus tells me I got nothing to worry about much quicker than some guys who prime 24 hours.

if it crashes in prime it is not stable, simple as that. prime just shows the instability, it may not necessarily mean it is the cpu, could be your ram. make sure your running the latest bios because there are fixes for stability when using ram dividers.

Ram is at stock speed.
