Have you tried before to run computer without mprime? If you want to stress test hardware use something else, compile whole KDE for instance.
Simply exclude mprime as a suspect.
But, mprime is not a suspect at all. mprime is a well known stress test. I can certainly try something else too, but what will it tell me?
Reading all attempts to test the board with mprime I can't understand what you are trying to archive. Are you looking for motherboard that will survive 100% usage of basic computer components for long periods of time (hours, days, more), or you just want to have dependable board for normal usage that will not break in the middle of the compilation. What you have by now: - well known program, - compiled for Factory, - on new motherboard. - you are using this combination for a week or two. - test in cold air tells that problem has something to do with overheating - increasing memory voltage to 2.6 V has some success You have to take out some factors from equation to find solution. To concentrate on hardware alone you have to exclude Factory and mprime as contributing factors to failure. Installation lasts longer than simply run something else, like kernel compilation. You may want to go higher with memory voltage, if possible on that MB, but check with RAM manufacturer is that OK. Modern boards have their ideas about CPU voltage and BIOS doesn't give chance to change that, and that could be another hardware culprit. -- Regards, Rajko.
