2009 is NOT my year

64 bit 174.74 wouldn't install - doesn't support gt280?  Said couldn't find supported hardware,

Trying 181.20's

[NickN]

oppssss

forgot.. you upgraded cards



do verify its not a clock issue Vic. ... All that should be installed on a lower clock to verify stability first, then clock up and check it

That includes the system and the video card

If the problem is not there at low clock and there clocked up then you have a setting to deal with

[vgbaron]

memset is the same but everest is under 10 grand and over 54 - which is different. But the earlier tests were with xp32/IDE

The above is at 400x9 - 3dMark 14917 - no problems with 180.48 or 181.20 drivers

At 450x9 3dMark locked up with 180.48 and 181.20 drivers

Just to clarify - clock was stable with 0901 XP32 - with the HDD/shutdown issues I flashed to 1003 but never verified a stable clock.

[NickN]

What did I tell you about DRAM STATIC READ CONTROL

disable it

COMMAND RATE is 2T on the Corsair memory, not 1

change those 2 and run stability @ 1800, then add in 1T if it passes.. If it fails, you can try some NB but remember, those sticks are not rated for 1T and you really do not need it at 1800 on a 64bit OS

[vgbaron]

rgr - that was my next thought. Seems ok at 400 1T SR enabled - OCCt been running fine 30 minutes.

I'll set 450x9 - 2T  SR Disabled and test

[vgbaron]

Failed with BSOD in OCCT after 3 minutes.
error 3B same exceptio as above

Upping NB to 1.55, VCore 1.31

[NickN]

make sure DRAM voltage is 2.0

[vgbaron]

it is - so far OCCT stable for 53 minutes

[vgbaron]

Stable for 1 hour however when running 3DMark - had to abort - graphics were totally munged

Monitor makes clicking noise when changing screens in 3DM

[NickN]

Clicking noise?

never, ever seen that one from a clock

The video card is not clocked yet, right?


Bring NB up another nudge... 1.57

if 3D is the same drop NB back down to 1.55 and try another driver


The major problem is we need to make sure you are not fighting 2 issues.. the clock or some driver problem with a clock even if stable

[vgbaron]

upped NB - same problem however now having difficulty booting into xp again.  Logo show, then desktop, then a garbled windows startup sound and the BSOD - system exception.

[NickN]

Drop the NB and CPU GTL's back to auto, leave NB at 1.55 and try this again,


Something tells me there is a hardware issue in this...


If that fails and its obvious GTL remove made a difference, set CPU GTLs back, leave NB GTLs at AUTO

Try again...

still unstable and strange, raise VTT to 1.30, leave CPU GTLs the @ setting, NB GTL auto.. and try again


still borked, add NB GTL try again


past that I am starting to think hardware somewhere


PSU or CPU? dunno... it does not make sense.. this should all be running

[vgbaron]

doing this at 450 right?

PSU is brand bew Corsair 1000w

Seems like graphics screw up in 3DM and the system BSOD's for a while and then is ok.

Problem with 3D mode????

All XP64 updates applied

I dont get why 3D mode and not OCCT and these boot issues



yes, 450

[vgbaron]

remove GTL's got partway thru 3DM but frames wer 7 where usually 60 - then it locked with garbage colors. Will reset GTL's with NB GTL at auto

edit: nb auto - system exception with 3dM plus monitor clicking when switch to 3d.
