I just got my watersetup going good (thanks to AMDguy) and I have a duron 800 @1000mhz. 7.5x133/33

Temps (forget the sig...these are the real temps) is 28c as we speak, and climp to 34c under prime95.

I ran the "self test" when it first started.......you know the one where it says it's going to preform the 1 hour test to make sure everything is ok.

It only took about 5 minutes.....and reported all was well.

Ran the "torture" test everyone keeps talking about.....and it didn't even make through stage 1 without a "roundoff" error or something like that and had a symbol like this > pointing to a number.

The readme says this is most likely due to heat I believe.....but come on.....34C!!!!!! is too hot for it????? I don't think so.

I ran it again.......same error. Rebooted......this time it made it to test 2......then failed with the same error. Arrrrrrrggggg. why?
Any ideas? No other programs show any signs of being OCed or any other problems. Seti even runs ok.

There is a post on this exact same thing a few threads down. Check it out since it probably applies to you as well.

Titled "Prime95 Error".
