Need Help

Dabigley13 · 2015-05-04, 05:48

I need help. I'm overclocking my PC and using prime 95 to stress test my PC each time I increase the cpu clock. I tested it at the default clock and it ran for days no problem. I slowly increase the processors clock and it tests fine. i kept doing that till it failed and then i increase the voltage slightly till its stable. The problem is i hit a point that no matter what i do one worker seems to have an error at the same time every time and its the same worker each time. Worker #2. I've tired different voltages and different clocks but it keeps giving me the same error each time. I also keep an eye on the temps and the voltage fluctuations as it runs. The temps never go above 60 degrees Celsius. What do I need to do?

Decrease the clock and the voltages until the CPU runs stable.

When I was young I jumped from 3 meters and I didn't break any leg. Then I increased the height, 3m 20, jumped, everything OK. I kept doing that till I reached some height from which, when I jumped, I broke my neck... See that is why I have my neck broken...

OP-
If you "no matter what you do" includes returning to stock speed & voltage, and you're still getting the error, then it is possible that one of your overclocks produced bad data in the Prime95 calculation, such that the save file is bad. Then, when you resume the calculation from the save file, it goes a few iterations and dies due to the bad data in the save file.

So, if slowing down doesn't solve the problem, delete the save file for that one worker, forcing it to start over at the beginning of that test.

Ok i will do that but i think i realized what i did and i figured it out. My voltages were to low. I needed to double check what the stock voltage was and go from there. I started with a voltage that was to low.
