    The data is easy to look at, because you can scroll through it extremely fast, and if any line is different, you will notice very easily because it sticks out like a sore thumb. But still, it would be nice to have it report if there is an error.

    Also, I believe that even if they all are the same, but the number is simply too large, then that also means it's not stable. I'm not sure what the cutoff for stable vs not stable is though.

    Number being too large does indicate instability as well, but when that occurs, the other Residual(norm) values will not be equal.

    It was a hassle because using Linpack alone did not output the results directly to the screen. With IntelBurnTest, it's one of the features.

    I still dont get how you see if the test failed. Can someone post an example screenshot of succeed/fail, highlighting the error line?

    At page 1 o this thread loonym posted a screen of failed test. If you look on the last column on the right (residual norm), the values were incoherent each other: this is a failed test.

    But no one else but me experienced weird system issues runnign this test?

    Post 23 clarifies clearly mate... all values should match... any discrepancy is not good... though hard to tell if it's ram or cpu that craps out... think iwll use this as a last test

    One question how much rma do you guys put in ? I took the free ram of physical Memory available in the windows Task Manager... about 3Gb here...

    What do you guys set ?
