Prime95 problem
Hello,
I need suggestions. I just upgraded my CPU from an Athlon 1.333 to an Athlon XP 2800+ Barton. The motherboard is an ECS K7VTA3 v6. When I had the slower CPU, Prime95 ran fine. After the new CPU, I crash Prime95 immediately. I am wondering if perhaps my memory isn't quite up to snuff. The specs are 512MB nonECC 2.5 3 3 7 @ 166MHz or 2 3 3 6 @ 133MHz. However, I have been running MemTest for over an hour so far with no errors. I will say the memory isnt the problem if I get through 6 hours. I was thinking of underclocking the CPU by lowering the FSB to 133 to see if Prime95 would work then. That would be lowing the CPU to a 2200. Could I have a bad CPU? Any help is appreciated. Please respond via this newsgroup as I used a spamproof email address. Thanks in advance. Dave |
