System failed CPU test


Recommended Posts

ok mobo (Asus P4P8000-E Deluxe) is telling me "System Failed CPU test" everytime i start my computer...

Does it about 3-4 times and then on the 5th off/on it will boot up

Did this a while back as well... then my northbridge fried and i got a new mobo, didnt do it for a while. now it does

it almost seems like it does it when the compupter is cold... like off for the entire night. (dont know if this is just coincedence or what)

the processor is OC's up to 3.08 (p4 2.8 800FSB HT) edit: nice cooling... always cooler then stock with stock fan.heatsink would be... resting its high20's to low 30's

suggestions? is it the cpu?

also.. if i put it back to stock.. will intel know if i have them replace it?

First, try running the CPU stock. If that does not work, use your BIOS setup to check the voltage across the 3.3V and 5V rails - if they are not close to what they should be (3.3 and 5V respectively), the power supply could be causing this problem.

Also, it could be an issue with one of the components. Try swapping video cards, running the system with just the video card in, et cetera. I have read about problems like this where it was the video card of all things. I mean it could be as simple as reseating all of the components. These errors can be tricky sometimes because a number of things can throw errors that do not actually describe the real problem.

You could also try the CPU in another motherboard if you have access to that kind of thing. Perhaps the BIOS settings need to be reset to factory defaults (this should be in your manual, but it generally is a BIOS menu option - I do not know where in the BIOS it is because that depends on the motherboard).

Fail that, I would say it is time for a new processor. I do not think Intel could tell that you overclocked it unless there is physical damage to the processor (burn marks and the like).

Hope this helps

Actually now that i think back about this i had problem with an old video card at one time... i got the card replaced... problem still exists with the new card

try the CPU at stock like advised....it's possible you could have it OC'd too high.

I know when I was tinking with going higher on my CPU (check sig), I tried to run it to 2.6ghz and see if it would work. I got an error about a OS file being corrupt and it couldn't load. As soon as I put it back to 2.5ghz everything was fine again. I'm not sure why it would give me an error about an OS file when I'm messing with the CPU and no file system structure...but it did. Weird...so it could be your OC. Take it down to stock and see what you get.

Are these voltages ok?

Voltage is @ 3.4 and 5.1

trying to figure out if my PSU is bad... (and causing the "system failed cpu test") or if it is the CPU....

I dont think it can be the vid card or mobo since ive replaced both of those and still recieve the same problem

    • Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation by Paul Hill SharePoint, Microsoft’s enterprise content management solution that allows organizations to set up internal pages and share documents, has just got a big update with the new Modern Page Templates. Microsoft said that it’s going to be rolling out the feature to customers globally between early July and early August. Organization members that want to set up pages on SharePoint using the new templates can do so from multiple entry points including the Site Home (the home of a Communication or Teams site), App Bar (the persistent navigation pane on the left of SharePoint), and the New Web Part (a webpart that displays and creates news posts directly on pages). By giving colleagues multiple access points to the new templates, there’s more chance they’ll be found and used. By including plenty of swanky templates, Microsoft is making it so you can spend less time designing pages, and more time filling them with content that really matters. If you want to create a new page using the templates, just go to New > Page and select a template “From Microsoft”. If you were making a news post, you would go to New > News post then you’d be presented with the new Template Gallery where you can select a custom template created by your colleagues under “Saved on this site”. While these new templates are coming to customers globally next month, Microsoft is already busy working on new features to make templates easier to discover and make them more useful. For example, it is building tenant-wide custom templates that can be published across sites for organization-wide use, and it’s working on Copilot templates that you can use when creating pages with Copilot. Neither of these features was given a release timeline. Customers won’t need to do anything to start using Modern Page Templates as they’ll be available automatically as it rolls out worldwide across tenants. For those who want to dive deeper, Microsoft will be publishing additional documentation and guidance about this feature soon.

    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
