    I haven't struggled for WU for a couple of days now.
  2. ViscountStyx
    So what you're saying is I should get a boatload of Q6600's and just enjoy the feeling of having WU's for longer

    If anything, the UK had developed, without a question of doubt, THE most painful plug to step on. And it always defaults to being "pins up" when it's on the ground. Every stood on Lego? Multiply it 1000x. Pain.

    You can run memtest with just one stick in. Not a quick job I know, but the only way to be sure. Very unlikely, but if the first stick alone you test has faults, test the second one alone also. That may be indicative of another fault elsewhere. If possible, remove any components not required for testing.

    Every time I see a socket from across the pond I laugh my ass off at how they look. It's like a constant scream xD. Don't most not have the earth like that plug over there? I'd imagine they're wobbly as hell in the socket.

    That's another one to add to my list of bo***cks windows errors. If it's appearing and disappearing - check the windows event viewer, I'd expect to see errors that might give a clue as to why it's disconnecting (and thus where to poke next )
  7. ViscountStyx
    Any errors at all in memtest is a concern, as you effectively take out every other variable than the CPU and mobo, OS won't have an effect. Run further tests after reseating. If more errors occur, I'm afraid it's likely bad RAM if you've tried different slots and the error persists.

    I'll be blunt - are these warnings actually giving you any problems? 99.9999% of the time these can be ignored - it's an application trying to access something that it doesn't have access to. It's very much a warning and not an error
  9. ViscountStyx
    I note you've mentioned it installed an older driver - are there driver updates available? If you're booting the device in RAID instead of AHCI then I'd recommend leaving it in there. Might be worth checking the intel driver store, though often it's best to install the ones from the laptop vendor, as they might need custom stuff - hence intel overwriting the needed custom stuff now and possibly causing the memory leak.

    Smashed it yesterday. Nearly had 800k Shall see if I can hit 1 mil.

    Racing to get the GPU work unit in before 00:00
