I am running bioninc 4.09 beta on Windows XP, Pentium HT processor. From my last result I received following:

limateprediction.net - 2004-10-13 18:26:12 - Unrecoverable error for result 2rbu_200150031_0 ( - exit code -5 (0xfffffffb))


This is not for the first time it happened to me. What`s wrong?

Hi Pavel,

Error code -5 is a catch-all for computation errors. CPDN stresses your hardware more than anything else that you're likely to run on your system, and the most frequent causes of this error are overclocking, overheating and flakey hardware.

Hi Thyme,

thankx for your advice. CPU tests passed OK. However I am having troubles with MEM
test. After certain-given period it halts and that is it. So maybe I found the bottleneck, but I do not know what to do. I played a little bit with memory settings but it did not work.

Some more help?

If you have more than one stick of RAM in your PC, run the mem test with one first, then the other. It may isolate which stick is causing the problem. Sometimes a memory slot can be a problem, move the stick/sticks to different slot/slots.
