I'm starting a new thread as new results have significantly changed the situation.
You will undoubtedly remember the discussion about the stability problems on my new workstation from a couple of weeks ago. I'll quickly sum up -
1. Gigabyte motherboard, quite new model. 2. AMD Phenom quad-core CPU. 2.2GHz 3. 4Gb memory 4. Software RAID1 on SATA disks. 5. ATI Radeon X1650. 6. 850W powersupply.
When I subject the system to stress testing (mprime), it will automatically reboot after a fairly short time.
I asked on the mersenne prime mailing list (where a lot of people use mprime) if anyone had anything to add. George Woltman (mprime author) suggested running the "small FFT test" which would not use a lot of memory. He obviously had a memory problem in mind. Well, VERY interesting results. The machine has now been running for almost an hour with 4 mprime instances/threads. It's already passed the first few selftests. When I started it, CPU temperature rose almost immediately to 63-64C, then seemed to settle at 66C for a while. It hit 67C, but has now settled back down to 60C. So where does that leave me? Is it a memory or memory controller problem that memtest86+ fails to spot? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
