[Stability Test / Windows 10]

Hi,

 

It seems as though it is AIDA that is giving the warning as opposed to Windows. I can confirm this is still happening on a number of systems even after the latest AIDA release.

It could be normal, actually. AIDA64 System Stability Test allocates all available physical RAM in its memory subtest. If you keep using your computer while the test is running, and you have no swap file defined, it is very likely that Windows will run out of system memory. In which case it's best to avoid using the computer while the AIDA64 stress test is running.

 

When stress testing systems, I always leave them well alone. It's just very strange that this does not happen in Windows 7 or 8.1. I literally click Start and walk away from the computer. I also have no background programs running. As previously discussed, this is happening on various systems, mainly Skylake.

No, we haven't got any reports of such an issue, and we also haven't seen it on our own test systems yet. Which subtests do you have enabled? (CPU, FPU, etc) Do you have any common hardware components in your systems? Like, all of them has a nVIDIA GPU or such?

 

Not really, a mixture of Haswell and Skylake systems, no real common components, only Windows 10. 

 

On my personal rig I have a 4770K @ 4.7GHz, ran the stability tests many times on 8.1 and it was fine, on Windows 10 it runs out of system resources within minutes.

 

I use CPU, FPU, cache and memory. This problem does not occur if the 'memory' test is unchecked.

Hi,

 

Is there a known issue in regards to the stability test causing Windows 10 to run out of system resources? I'm seeing this on a number of machines that run the tests fine on Windows 7 / 8.1.

 

Thanks,

I suppose the system is simply not stable when all components are under heavy stress.  It would worth trying to update the BIOS to the latest one, and return settings to factory defaults (no overclocking).  In case the system passes an overnight stress test that way, then the issue was due to an excessive overclocking.

My thoughts exactly.

 

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

 

I have a customer with stability issues, his specs are as follows-

 

i74930k @ 4.6GHz

16GB 2133MHz RAM

EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified

H100i

 

When the CPU, FPU, cache and memory tests are run at the same time the system passes overnight with no issues.

 

When the GPU only test is run the system passes also.

 

When the five tests are run together the system fails after a few hours.

 

Moderators, do you have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

Hi,

 

I have a 4770K overclocked to 4.7GHz @ 1.225V with memory at 2666MHz. When all tests are selected in the Stability Tests, it passes for 24 hours @ 85C. If I select the FPU test only, the CPU almost instantly throttles. I know this is considered 'unstable' but what are the chances of any other normal use application getting my CPU to these temperatures? I hear the FPU test uses AVX instructions which are quite rare in real world apps. 

 

The system seems perfectly stable in games and hits around 80C after a few hours (mainly due to the GPU heating the case up).

 

I've tried getting a stable OC where the FPU only test stays below 80C but I'm almost back to stock volts/frequency to achieve this. I have a Corsair H60 whcih has cooled a 2500K and 4670K before it with no issues at all.

 

Your thoughts please?

 

Thanks,
