Try installing the latest drivers for all your components, especially the 
video card. We have found that old video drivers have caused a lot of errors. We 
haven't figured out why, though.

Mersenne: Running torture test

2002-12-08 Thread Denis Cazor
Hello,

I have some trouble with an athlon computer for one week,
when it began to make summout errors.
I run torture test which is detecting error in 2 seconds to 3 hours.
(CPU temperature is about 52°C)
I have run some other tests (hot cpu tester, sability test, sandra,
memtest) and they detected nothing, so i suspected software
problem (i use win98se and installed last week office2000).
I uninstalled office2000 without success.
Prime95 is stopping the torture test at the first error. So it is
difficult to reproduce (observe) the error.
Is it possible to modify the params to continue the test ?
Have you any suggestion ?

Best regards, Denis

Yes. Around 0700 GMT yesterday (7th) I found I couldn't check in results, 
then when I tried to check my personal account I was getting a "Couldn't load 
DLL" problem. Later in the day this changed into "Insufficent resources".

The general status reports still work but seem to be frozen at 0500 GMT 
yesterday.

My guess would be that some clown has successfully executed a DoS attack but 
an underlying problem, like a memory leak or disk space exhaustion, could 
possibly lead to similar problems.

Guess we have to live with it until Brad gets in to work tomorrow.

Or afterwards, if they legislate a mechanism for enforcement.
