Prime 95/OCCT CPU(?) Errors and so on

Aaronp · October 4, 2014

Okay so I'm having multiple issues with Prime95, I ran memtest for 1 and a half passes with no error so I dont think its the memory but when I run Prime95 with everything at stock settings (Not overclocked) these happen:

- FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4

- FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.484375, expected less than 0.4

- Computer Freezes

- Clock_Watchdog_Timeout (BSOD)

I'm trying to figure out if the CPU is failing or if its because of the Motherboard, but I think its one of the two, or both, my new r9 285 doesnt work in this system either, works in other systems but not this one, I just get a bunch of glitches (http://linustechtips...5/#entry3100510) but my 7970 seems to work perfectly in here, and has been for the past 2 years, help would be awesome! My specs are:

AMD FX8350 GPU (Corsair H100)

GA-990FXA-UD7 Rev1.1 Motherboard

G-Skill Sniper 16 gigs Ram (4x4gig Sticks)

AMD Radeon HD 7970

And heres some images

OCCT "Stopped, Error detected on Core #2"

Trying to figure out if its a CPU or Motherboard issue, or both, Also the OCCT test before this seemed to have made my computer restart, but its not a heat issue, I wouldnt imagine it being a voltage issue either, completely at stock settings, ram at 1333 (rated for 1600)
