    I didn't even know you could disable avx...
    Though I notice aida64 is saying it's disabled as well, but honestly I think it's just a screw up, It's probably working anyways.
    There's alot of odd things here and there that don't work on my systems, past and present.
    Cpu load, all sorts of perf counters and so on.
    Anyways I'm gonna try this bcdedit mod to see if I can force avx to enable or whatever.

    Oh and the reason I asked for support on an older ver, what I meant was that the tests in the new ver's don't detect errors on the cpu any faster then the old ones.
    I'm not even sure the new ver's even detect the errors at all.

    It's not that I can't get my cpu stable, it's just that when it's so close to the edge of stability, finding a program that gives off an error is pretty hard.
    When I know for a fact it's not 100%, yet I can't find any apps that tell me that except for an older ver of y-cruncher, and it taking 1.5 - 4.5hrs to tell me so, well, that's no fun .
    That's why when I was saying if I could pool together enough screenshots of the error in the older ver with the exact tests it fails on, if it were possible for those tests to be re-included in the new ver's as a custom test.
    Because even the older ver's, I can't pick those tests to run outright, it just doesn't do that it seems.

    But then again if you don't wanna mess with it, I'll just keep using the older ver then and wait it out for so many hours to tell me about a cpu vcore error lol.
    The prog is great for finding mem errors rather quickly, but finding cpu errors is not so great.
    But then again at least it can find them over a long period of time, linx and ibt couldn't find the errors at all, tested both of those overnight a little while back.
    They're great for finding cpu errors quickly when the cpu is far from being stable, but when it's only 0.005v -/+ or so off then it's nearly impossible.


    Anyways all those errors from that screenshot I posted from the diff major ver's, all stem from my os being a bit to tweaked out.
    I need to go back and re-check them all, like for ex. why vc-2008 won't install after tweaking (new ver's work fine...), all sorts of things...
    The reason I posted is because the prog should run regardless, I mean, the older ver does lol .

    Anyways I'm off to play with bcdedit.
    Though I doubt aida64 will beable to tell if it's working either way.


    Update:
    Ok well, forcing avx to enable doesn't work.
    Avx is just isn't working on my setup lol, got the os, cpu and etc.
    I apparently gutted avx along with float-16 and so on without realizing it, I wouldn't of known with my older amd cpu at the time.
    I didn't think there was another say 80% perf boost just waiting for me lol.
    I got a fresh os to the side I haven't finished setting up, no tweaks.
    I planned on getting around to fixing up my tweaks for x64 win7 but just haven't gotten around to it other then installing windows and calling it quits for the time being, until now anyways.
    Sigh I don't even wanna use windows lol, but I don't have the free space right now for linux...

    I should try re-stressing my cpu with avx enabled a little later on, I thought I was using it but apparently not...
    Linx went from 90 gflops to 160 gflops so apparently not lol.
