Wehn i use Bonic with seti @ home i get blue screen says one of my cores is messing up, its not a heat problem becuase i got a artic Cooling unit it works fine on Windows vista Ult. Any solution to the problem i had to stop colulations to this to avoid system data loss |

OK you haven't gotten any error WU's for your CPU the HSF is irrelevant unless you can tell if its actually cooling anything. There's always a possibility that your paste is old, unevenly spread, or has bubbles that prevent cooling. Its best to get a hardware monitor to check into this. CPUz has 3 things you need. HWmonitor, GPUZ, and CPUz. The HW monitor will let you see all your temps and voltages in 1 stop. I've never actually had a CPU lose a core but I assume it can happen. If anything I'd bet on the mobo before I'd right off the CPU In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

As Skildude suggestion, despite your assumed elimination of the CPU as a suspect, I would still start with proper diagnosis by running Prime95, which is a program very similar to SETI@Home in that it stresses your CPU extensively. If you experience Blue Screens with Prime95 as well, then you have a repeatable problem. I would then start by checking the temperature of your CPU to see how hot it's running. If it appears to be running cool, I would move on to testing your RAM. Failing or overheating RAM can cause system instability just as an overheating CPU would. Memtest86+ is a great tool for extensively testing your RAM for errors. If your CPU and RAM do not turn up to be faulty, then I would suspect a power issue, possibly with an underpowered power supply unit (PSU). Running at a high system load can cause weak PSUs to trigger Blue Screens. Unfortunately, the only answer to this is to either replace it or reduce SETI@Home's CPU usage (and by extension it's power consumption). |
