IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

[Neova]

Same here, though it's 0,44 sec for me

It's definitely a software problem (for me anyway), I restored my os drive from a five month old os-image, and then everything worked perfectly.

The strange thing is that the program runs correctly up to 4295 mb, 4296 and up finishes in 0,44 sec no matter what, and tells me that everything is great!

This happens to me also but only when I OC a step up from the last stable setting. I thought it may be unstable settings but it does not crash OS. It just says it says completed in a few seconds.

My initial impression is that it would be software related as opposed to a stability issue but I'm not sure. One would think if it were to fail or generate an error that soon you would be able to recreate some form of instability within Prime95 or other such testing.

In my case I have confirmed that it is a software issue. 5 month old os-image: Everything works as intended, Ran for about an hour w/10300MB allocated, no problem. Ghosting back to my latest backup: Fails immediately with the same memory allocation.

I'm guessing that there's a windows update or something like that, that messes up the memory allocation of Linpack on my current setup, since every single program I have tested that utilizes Linpack fails when allocating above 4200 and some MB: OCCT, LinX, IntelBurnTest.

Prime95 and other cpu-tests works fine on both the old os-image and current setup.

It is by no means a dealbreaker - but it would indeed be nice to know what's causing this behaviour. I can always revert to the old os-image if I need to run stability tests, but that's a somewhat tedious affair, in the long run.

Maybe I'll just reinstall W7, but that's quite a downer when you have configured everything exactly the way you like it
