3DMARK05 question......

HawgsHead · Jul 18, 2005, 04:11 PM

This is kinda strange.{see specs on SLi rig below}When I go to run 3DMARK05 on my SLi rigIt gets half waythrough the tests and quits.Giving me a message that says"3DMARK05 had to close due to a problem" or something like that.The strange thing about this is that it doesnt do it when the FX-55 is running at stock speeds{2.6GHz}I can OC up to 2.7GHZ or so but when I get over that it craps out.Everything else runs fine at these speeds{Aquamark3,all games,all programs.}Just 3DMARK05.Any ideas?.....MUCH thanks.

well, 3dmark stresses the system more than the other benchies, maybe that's why....

I understand that....but it's on the HIGHER power settings that it craps out.It seems too me that it would be the other way around...???

try re-installing 3Dmark05. I've had similar problems, and for some reason the problem is fixed whenever i reinstall it.

what about drivers? have you tried reinstalling your video drivers? that might be the problem as well.
