Have you tried another PSU, or let it loop Mem test? | |  | |  | |
No. But get this;
there are a total of 8 DIMM slots (4 per
CPU).
I have my old 1 GB sticks and also my new 4x512.
Started out with the standard procedure by occupying DIMMS CPU0 DIMMA1 and 2, CPU1 DIMMA2 and 2. Failed.
I think after permutating through that for a while, I ended up occupying only CPU0DIMMA1 and CPU1DIMMA1. Failed.
Then I was reading the manual and it says that I can make it re-route the memory requests if I occupy CPU0DIMMA1 and 2 ONLY. So I did that, and got the system working, booted up, and the
OS installed.
Went back to trying the original configuration; that didn't work. So went with the unconventional CPU0DIMMB1 and 2 and CPU1DIMMB1 and 2; and that worked as well.
Took about a total of 18 hours to figure that one out with the permutations trying to boot up my old install of the
OS that was on the drives already, and between that and trying to figure out whether it was a memory problem or a
CPU memory controller problem (which can only be caused by a overheating).
I don't think that it's a power supply or memory problem because as I've mentioned before; it doesn't make any sense why a "lower" level graphics card (VP970) would have the video signal cut out after 2 minutes, meanwhile running the higher power Realizm 200; I can run it overnight provided that the temperature was low enough???
Regardless, here are the rest of the benchmark results.
It's included here more so for completeness rather than anything else. The discussion of the significance of the scores relative to actual system performance under (almost) any scenario is long past; and it's the same discussion over and over again. Take it for what it's worth.
