    So this looks like the same problem that you reported to us last month - the one I referred to in my post.

    The customer found that the error did not occur if 1 CPU core was disabled, or a lower frequency SKU was used.

    I am not aware if the problem was resolved. I believe Intel was contacted about this.

    If you disable a CPU core does the problem go away?

    If you would like to send us a level 2 activity trace file (See Preferences->Logging) of the test run showing the error, I can at least check if it looks like the same problem. Our email address is:

    Dear Ian,
    I sent you the log file by mail.

    Please help to check it.
    Thanks.

    In your third post you contradicted that and said that worked with the E5-2698 V3 but not the Xeon E5-2695 V3.
    The CPU should make no difference to video playback as these CPUs don't have integrated graphics in them. So maybe you are confused.

    Can you try BurnInTest V8.
    Can you also try playing the video outside of BurnInTest?

    Dear David,
    Sorry to confuse you.

    In Win8.1 professional, the failure is:
    E5-2698 v3 - 16 Cores -->Fail.
    E5-2695 V3 – 14 Cores -->Pass.

    When playing the video outside of BurnInTest, there is no problem.
    I will try BurnInTest V8 again, and update.

    Thanks.

    A test files is installed with the BurnInTest software.


    By manually copying the files, maybe you are falling into the
    File System Redirector trap. See,
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx
    (meaning the file won't be in the folder you think it is).

    Also the default file we provide is called, test.wav, not wild.wav.
    Hi David,
    Sorry to confuse you.
    In Win8.1 professional, with default video test setting in BurnIn,
    The video test is fail with E5-2695 V3.
    The video test is pass with E5-2698 V3.

    Then I have the following test I posted on 09-30-2014, 10:14 AM.

    Thanks.

    Hi David,
    The video card driver is installed. And I am using the default video file.

    With the same system, I replaced the CPU with Intel Xeon E5-2695 V3 – 14 Cores.
    This issue does not occur.



    When using E5-2698 v3 CPU, I had the following test:
    Test 1, BurnIn 7.1 Build 1037
    1. copy a wmv file to C:\ at test target system (Wild.wmv native video file in Windows 7)
    2. set the video file path in BurnIn:
    Preferences->Video playback->C:\Wild.wmv
    Result: The video playback window opens, but no video is displayed in it.


    Test 2: BurnIn 7.1 Build 1037
    1. copy a wmv file to C:\Program Files\BurnInTest\ at test target system
    (Wild.wmv native video file in Windows 7)
    2. set the video file path in BurnIn:
    Preferences->Video playback->C:\Program Files\BurnInTest\Wild.wmv
    Result: The video playback window opens, but no video is displayed in it.

    Thanks.
