new CPU failing Prime 95
Hiya guys, would like to pick your brains if I may.
As some of you may or may not know, I recently built my new rig (specs in profile). Now last night, I was running Prime95 to get an idea of my stock temps, and Core 3 failed (expected x, returned y). Fearing the worst, I reran it, and it again failed, but on a different core.
Just to eliminate any RAM issues, I did a couple of passes with Memtest, and seems to be alright there.
So, opinions? I'm thinking possibly the board, as if it was the CPU, would it not fail on the same Core each time? Any idea of what I can change/tweak to troubleshoot?
Novatech have offered to take the Mobo and CPU back for testing, but I would really rather check it's not something I can fix myself first.
