this is not a new thread,

this is a continuation of yesterday's thread


ssssshhhhhh don't tell KK, he hates that,


and it's early so let me be the first to say, SPAM!!!

[KarmaKiller]

Are you trying to confuse me dave?


Good Morning all! No Rain today!!

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

I see you hanging around KK, lurking at the bottom of the page,

don't just sit there say something,

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

ahh to late

[dchw_dude]

Well, I ran out of spam the other day. I am currently trying to rebuild my reserves. As far as sneakernetting, it turns out my data transfer device is on the fritz! ANOTHER STUPID THING IN THE WAY OF F@H!

Anyways, Since my iPod is dying a slow and painful death, Ill need to round up an old flash drive now. I was so confused as to why all data I transferred with it got corrupted. It started with big files, but has tricked down to teh small. I wonder what Google can help me do to fix this . . .

Hi all.
So is anyone else having problems with the SMP client?
My dually box is saying fewer then 2 cores are detected, and it will not run the SMP anymore..

It was working great lastnight, now all of a sudden it doesn't want to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and still no joy.
I checked the BIOS to make sure both core are enabled, and of course they are..
So what gives? Anyone?

Not here lately. I am trying to increase my oc from the gigabyte mobo DS3L but it seems like 372x9=3348 is going to be the max for this mobo/chip/ram combo. The Abit EP35E got a little bit more that is also okay for me.

KK is this your new q6600 box which you have just built? If it is , is it possible that the flaws / flaky settings on the mobo is finally showing. As far as the smp client, no problem for now.

[KarmaKiller]

Nope. This is my older E6320 system that ran folding for a couple months fine before I got the Quad.
I turned it back down to stock from the OC I had, just to make sure that wasn't it. Still, the problem persists.
I'm kind of wondering if I didn't kill a core somehow. But really, I wouldn't know how I did that. It's been OC'd, but it was set to 3.2, which I had it stable on the same setup @3.4Ghz. V-core was never over 1.45 on it, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Also, the temps lately have been great, nothing more then 50c°.

See why I'm confused?

If you fried the cpu that would be a first in a long, long time. Most of the time the mobo would go out first before the cpu. Best way to check is to do it the hard way. Swap good cpu to the maybe bad cpu and try to eliminate it. Might take you a while but at least you would know which one went bad. For all we know one of the memory chips went bad.

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

ok now I have problems, gee thats new for me,

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

so I went on out to new egg and picked up 2 more gigs of ram, cool right,

wrong

so now I have 4gigs installed, vista See's all 4 gigs

however here is the thing, with 2gigs running at 1066 the vista rating was 5.9, now with 4gigs running at 1066 the vista rating is 5.5

I have 4 sticks at 1gig each,


so now I overclock the CPU to 3.0, and leave ram at 1066 vista rating is back to 5.9

Dave to be more precise, what exactly are you trying to say. That you wasted the 2 extra gig since Vista did not give you what you think Vista should give you? Call Bill and tell he is full of it. I think the rating are just flashing light to impress people. Then again that is just me.

How we looking KK???

[KarmaKiller]

Ok report:
Ram is known good. I have 1 gig (2x512) that it runs great on. I also have a 2gig Wintec (2x1gb's) that I just got, and it works fine also.
Both have passed Memtest previous to today.
So I'm putting my money on the Mobo, again. This is the second time this board has had to be RMA'd.
I can't swap boards tonight, but probably tomorrow I'll do that, and see if the CPU is good. (which I'm almost certain it is.)

So, you agree?


EDIT:
And it's nice to know when your in the thread, thanks for changing that.

Yea bad habit I had when I was active on the Epnis thread. Glad got away from it. Still like lurking and see who got the biggest at the moment.

Sounds like a great game plan. Sorry you had to go thru it again but that how it rolls sometimes.

pls check your pm,

[KarmaKiller]

pls check your pm,

I have no PM's.

Another update though. In BIOS, I have 2 cores. They both show. In windows, any app doesn't matter, I have one core.

Is it possible that it's just windows?


EDIT

NM, got the PM.

No the only time I know it happens is when the OS was build it was not multi core but single core. The os is not recognizing the multi core cpu. Hope that makes sense.

[KarmaKiller]

Hmm... So I wonder WTH it is then. Surely I didn't kill the CPU...
I think that would be a first for me. I'll make a thread about it and see what others think.
Thanks for the help.

What I have done more than I can count when oc'ing is corrupt the OS and get all kind of wierd errors. If you got time before tearing it apart tomorrow is re install the os??? maybe???
