yet another update, last one today... I removed the old stick of ram i have, leaving me with 2 fairly new 128 sticks. prime95 has been running for a little while so far and nothing seems wrong. I would be laughing if thats all it was

i just checked and for that test i had the affinity to cpu0 only. Now i am running a test on cpu1.... I hope this will tell me if its a chip, cause they're cheap. But i suspect its a ram stick... if i get an error on the other cpu too i'll try taking one out at a time. I know one of them is old and ...

i just gave prime95 a run..... everything was set at defaults, 66fsb, 2.0V etc. and it only an hour to get an error. "fatal error: rounding was 0.4997..... expected was less than 0.4 hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt torture test ran 1 hours, 12 minutes - 1 errors, 0 warnings execution h...

its secondary on the ide plug (black not white) and its master to another cd drive. i guess i could try moving it

I dont know what the purpose of an rx7 is exactly, but now it goes way faster, right away. theres no waiting for the power to happen. only downside is it understeers a little. The motor was shot to begin with, its not like we pulled a good rotary out
it was non turbo too

I'm canadian... but i am proud to not speak a word of french

the caps are fine, i checked them before buying the board.
the ps is a macron atx 350w
heatsinks are on right and have enough goop, though i do want to make sure the sensors are right up against the cpus.

well, the VTT doesnt change much at all, and the power should be good...
maybe i should check the power though, all the computers i've had here have had some stability problems... I assumed it was just me.

I just had a look at the bios and the VTT is sitting between 1.48 - 1.53 without any overclock, and without anything but the bios running. But about half of the time, when i leave the bios the monitor doesnt come back on and i have to use the power button, not the reset button, only the power button...

my concern right now is i cant even burn a cd, with nothing overclocked. it hard restarts every time, and if i cant even burn a cd this board is pretty much usless to me. I've been running at 66fsb all day and im still having browser crashes that dont seem like software. Whats vtt? i always hear ppl...

I just tried to burn a cd at 4x, with the fsb at 66 and vcores at 2... and it got further before hard restarting....... i guess i need more power

well, I've been chasing around some stability problems... and they arent getting any better. I've got a 350W ps i got less than a week ago, but the computer still hard restarts and locks up sometimes. Trying to burn a cd at 16x is a hard restart. :cry: could it be the power supply is stil too small?...

I forgot about another car... it's oficially my dads, but we did the motor swap together and i can drive it whenever i want to put gas in it. It's a 1987 rx-7 with a chev 305cid (didnt have a 350 laying around). it got some vortec heads, a new cam, and some hedman hedders. It would have an aluminum ...

I dont suppose you wanna get rid of just the cpu's?

ah, second post... you can tell im a car person.
I've got a '75 poniac astre (vega) with a 305, th350, and narrowed rear end.2.67 gears. it does 55mph in first gear...
And an '86 suzuki samurai with a spoa lift, 31's, welded rear end. puny 1.3l 60hp motor, but it'll go anywhere in the bush.

So im gonna water cool my cpu's :D I need to get some water blocks, but everything else i can make or find. Any suggestions about what type i should use? Im going for a budget project, and with the temperature in here during the day air cooling doesnt keep them stable. I've got a couple celeron 400'...
