SwartHack

I have been using ML110 G5, but since I am now participating in the cup, I figured to get this sorted out sooner than later. Especially if it may affect the validity of any subs. Thanks!

Is there an "Official" NN #8 thread?! Anyway, I am getting errors trying to upload Aquamark datafiles!?! I have tried via the comp page and via standard HwBot sub. All it says is "Invalid Datafile - Unable to parse" I have also tried with a number of different files. I am using the latest version 2.55.110 Any help? Thanks!

Hey _mat_, that would be awesome cool! Thanks again for chiming in. Salud

OK, So this is working now... http://hwbot.org/submission/2993394_swarthack_gpupi_for_cpu___100m_core_i7_4790k_17sec_494ms I wish I could point to exactly one thing that resolved the problem. The biggest suspect is the ISO. I used a different commercial unactivated copy of windows 7 x64. I was using an activtated non-comercial iso that allowed install of any win7 x86/x64 version. I also used a CD instead of a thumb drive, but it is a usb cd, so really to the computer, same diff, right? The other diff was the commercial copy is Ultimate. I had not tried ultimate from the activated version, but this again should make no diff really! Right? So in the end the problem is resolved but not solved. I really hate it when that happens!! Anyway, When I have the time, I will try to reproduce the problem as I will obsess over the cause. The only thing I can think of doing is installing VisualStudio and trying to debug/obtain a error stack. But in most cases installing VS will fix a problem with all the crap it installs. So-Hey! Does anyone know if there is a version of GPUPI with debugging symbols enabled? If so I can use the debug enabled versions of msvc redist to try and derive more information. Thanks everyone for their help. Always very much appreciated! Luego

OK! I ran Prime95 with no errors, I then ran tourture test for 70 minutes. No errors. I then tried AIDA64 stress test and it ran for 3 hours with no errors.... I have also tried a few passes with XTU... I just can't contribute this to faulty hardware!?!? This is something screwy in the OS... So yes, right there with you Massman. I have been installing from a thumb drive. I am going to try a CD install from a different ISO and also create a new thumb drive. So, sigh... off to re-image. My plan is to install the bare minimum components: -Intel chipset drivers -Intel ME drivers with KB2685811 hotfix. Are there any other KBs I should be using on a stand-alone install? -Intel OpenCL drivers -Nvidia driver -MVC++ 2013 redistributable runtimes, 12.0.30501.0 -GPUPI As far as I know, there should be no other required components to run GPUPI??? Will check back with results... Thanks! Salud

Hey Massman! Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated! So just got back around to this perplexing and very frustrating mystery... The CPU has been used, but not abused... http://hwbot.org/submission/2955823_swarthack_gpupi_for_cpu___100m_core_i7_4790k_17sec_723ms @_mat_ - I am pretty much using default bios setting, except for fan settings. I have also ensured I am running the latest and greatest bios... I have obtained Prime95 and memtest86. Currently I am running the Prime95 "Benchmark". AFter which I would run the torture test I assume. Any reccomendations? per memtest86, I have not booted up into it yet. Again, anything specific I should run/reccomendations. Thanks so much! Cheers! EDIT: one thing I have never mentioned is this is a disconnected rig with no Ethernet controller, pretty sure this does not matter, but thought to mention it...

So It was recommended to try the AMD OpenCL SDK runtimes, which I had not done... Same results :-( I have been monitoring my registry during this entire process. If someone, anyone with a similar config listed in first post(really any rog maximus VII) could run this at an admin command prompt? I would love a comparison. Thanks!! reg query HKLM /s /f OpenCL Here is the output on my problem child:

err, opps, my bad... Forgot to mention I have tried some other memory as well, as that was one of the first things I thought as well. With a software dev background I do know you are right on with your assessment, as that error usually indicates an illegal memory read/write and/or alloc action. But we all know it is not GPUPI... I tried a pair of pretty pedestrian sticks I had in another rig: 2x8 gb Kingston Fury HyperX 1866 CL10 Same results :-( I will try a memory stress test as you advised... Thanks, Salud

Crashes on gpu and cpu tests, same place, same errors. Yeah, I never had to use the Intel OpenCl drivers before on other hardware setups and as I understand shouldn't have to use them. But as I mentioned I did test as well with OpenCL drivers installed by the Intel HD Graphics drivers provided by the vendor and I tried them downloaded from Intel site. Yes, sorry all stock.

Hello All! This has been a problem for me continuously since I started working on this new bench setup. It is new mobo vendor for me(ASUS), but I have done this many times on other vendor platforms, and am pretty familiar with setting up a system from scratch. So here is what I am working with: Asus ROG Maximus Hero VII/Z97:i7-4790k 2x4 gb G.Skill Trident X, 2400 10-12-12-31 EVGA GTX 960 Win7 Pro/x64 I appreciate any help on this as at this point I have no idea what is causing is this and can't track it down for the life of me. But please no suggestions to reinstall/reimage/refresh/etc. as I have already spent days on this and have performed about as many iterations and combinations imaginable. Always fails at the same place, right at the end after step 19. This happens to all 3 tests under several scenarios. Each of the following scenarios were configured after a fresh windows install. In a few cases I tried various versions of windows. Always fails at the same place, right at the end after step 19. 1-No gCard, only using Intel HD graphics drivers. 2-No gCard, only using Intel OpenCL drivers. 3-gCard w/gfx drivers installed, install after Intel HD graphics drivers install. 4-gCard w/gfx drivers installed, w/o install of Intel HD graphics drivers 5-gCard w/gfx drivers installed, with and without Intel OpenCL drivers Here is the chain of events I have followed. I do know that the exception code "c000001d" is very generic and is usually caused by an unhandled illegal instruction. Anyhooo, I am at my wits end here on this and am convinced it can't be a bad mobo or memory. You can see that all the outputs basically say the same thing in different formats. If anyone has any idea of why I repeatedly get this problem, I will owe you all large!! Salud! ............................................................................................................ First I execute GPUPI and select any available test based on the scenario. I get: The entire text of the Problem Signatue: So then off to the Event Viewer and WER (Windows Error Reporting)

Athlon 64 X2 4450b does not show up in the auto-complete process!? So I can can not use "Edit" to fix. I believe this cpu needs to be added to the list. THanks.

Hi, working with AMD Athlon X2 chip and it did not resolve to the exact model in my recent submission. http://hwbot.org/submission/2933695_swarthack_cpu_frequency_athlon_64_x2_4050e_2524.22_mhz As per the CPUID screen shot, I have a 4450b. Please advise, as I hope to continue benching this chip. Thanks

Can someone please clarify the Windows 8 exclusion please. Slightly misleading as the links to the rules are wrong. HWBOT verification rules point to xtu rules and GPUPI rules point to MaxxMem regs. Took me a few to notice this. Please fix, Thanks! Salud

Hey Massman! Its not the actual XTU submission. Under the "XTU Profiles" tab is where I am talking about. I do not see a manner to delete here. Salud
