Hi I've had a failure on this WU today. I'm overclocked to 4.2 but don't normaly have issues, recently I've pulled some memory as i was getting errors on memtest and failing P95 blend, I now pass all those with no issues.
Is this a bad WU, or do @I need to start checking my overclock for stability

Thanks

You did receive partial credit for this, but you are the only one who has returned results for this WU so far. It is too early to tell if it is a bad WU, but we'll keep an eye on it for you.

Hi johnerz (team 111065),
Your WU (P6041 R0 C129 G62) was added to the stats database on 2010-09-23 06:10:21 for 1047.53 points of credit.

Thank, I appreciate that

Following up with you, this work unit has now been completed successfully, so I can't call it a bad WU. Sorry.

While you may want to check overclocks, hardware, etc., in my experience, EUEs do not generally indicate a problem with your equipment. I wouldn't be concerned unless that machine consistently produced EUEs.

FAH is generally considered to be a lot more sensitive to memory errors than most applications. If you're showing any errors with memtest, you're going to get occasional EUEs. I recommend you replace questionable memory and if you've modified the memory clocks and voltages, you might consider not pushing your memory quite so hard.
