2.4 Unrecoverable Errors ??

(1/9) > >>

Gus:
This is a brand new machine, so I don't know if these unrecoverable errors are coming from the hardware, software, or whatever.  It's a core-2 quad (Q6600) right out of the box about 3 hours ago, a stock Dell computer, and I've never run anything on it but KWSN_2.4_SSE3-Core2_MB.   It is not OC'ed nor modified in any way.  It's cool in the house so temp should not be an issue.  The box has displayed no errors so far except these.

Or they may just be bad wu's and mean nothing.

I received two of these errors so far, pretty close together, in about 2 hours of total crunch time.  I'll attach a text file with the Messages Tab entries around the time of one of the errors, a URL to the two Results, and a URL to the computer.

I'm going to bed shortly so if you have any questions feel free to email me at obermege2 at comcast dot net and I'll reply in the morning. . . .

EDIT
OK, after watching this for a while it looks like they may be bad wu's.  I've had several others and the names of them all begin with 03mr07aa.19893.3344.xx.x.xxx.  I'll leave this  post up just in case.

We'll take a look - right now, your result is the only one available for those WUs, so it's difficult to compare.

They do look like "can happen" mistakes.

Regards,
Simon.

Gus:
One has now been returned OK by someone else.  Also the most recent one is not the same vintage as the others. (Ignore the very first one, it was likely caused when I switched to the optimized app.)

It may indeed be a problem with the machine after all.  I'll reseat the memory and run some diags.  I've since set it to receive no new work. Hate to do that the way things are running but I don't want to trash a bunch of wu's.

Can anyone suggest good free diagnostics that really torture the machine?

(Later) I now see that it spit out a whole page of errors one after the other.  Just reseated memory and restarted, we'll see.

Prime95 - CPU torture test
MemTest86+ - Memory test (runs at boot-time)

Gus:
Thanks, I have 4 copies of Prime95 running now, I'll do the memtest after they've run a while.
