Prime95 failure on A7N8X-E Deluxe

[Nom]

Thanks for the input. I have isolated the RAM as not being the
problem. The PC main RAM is Spekteck PC2700 512mb (2 total). I put
in a Crucial PC2100 256mb stick and was greeted with the same
results. After some research I have found that not only hardware can
be the culprit. Some software drivers can alter the "...floating
point instructions and change the rounding mode or other settings in
the floating point unit and don't restore the settings when done". So
once I isolate software as the possible culprit I plan to do a swap
with CPUs next. I will keep you all posted. From searching past
usenet messages and forums I know other people have problems as well
so I hope this ends up helping out someone else as well.

It's very unlikely to be software related, and very unlikely to be hardware
related.
It's almost certainly your settings within the BIOS. Follow my previous
instructions

I believe my memory is running at sync speed. CPU is at 166 and memory is at 166. there is no
percentages in my bios for memory. only by SPD or auto. I upped core voltage from 1.6 to 1.65 and
DDR voltage from 1.6 to 1.7.

When I ran Prime95 I got the same error as listed before.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks for the help so far.


You need run your memory at SYNC/100% speed. Set all other timings to
Automatic.
Raise the memory voltage a little (from 2.5v to 2.7v).
What brand is your RAM ?
Raise the CPU voltage a *little* (from 1.6v to 1.65v for example).
