azagahl Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I put together this dual-core system, and it can run SuperPi fine, but as soon as I start a calculation in a second SuperPi instance, the second calculation almost INSTANTLY errors out saying ""NOT CONVERGENT IN SQR05". I haven't attempted to overclock anything.Any ideas?

bonestonne Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 i should most honestly hope that you mean 400GB drives in there. [everyone makes typos]the OS, i should assume its Windows XP, although, if it is Vista [as some use it heavily] it may be the fact that Vista is not completed yet, and may not be able to.

ripken204 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 well thats odd. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/385try using orthos, its a version of prime95 that tests both cores at the same time. personally i could care less about superpi.

ringfinger Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Since this is a new build and all... Have you checked in the BIOS to be sure that the RAM and CPU are running at the recommended voltages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) oh sry, lol. that was in response to DigeratiPrimehave u tried orthos yet? Edited January 7, 2007 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azagahl Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions. Orthos sounds interesting. Memtest works fine on my PC, but I've seen it work on exremely unstable PC's before. Two instances of Prime95 work but they make a 2.5 GB pagefile so they seem to test the disks more than anything else.Hahahaha.. I'm a total n00b. Two superpis run from the same place cause the same error on my other single core PC. But when run from different directories, no error occurs.So my Pc is stable AFAIK. And I actually have Radeon X1800 XL and my two 400 GB disks form a raid 0 volume. It rocks so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
