Hello!
I apologize if this has already been addressed, but after quite a while searching the forums, I was unable to locate another instance that specifically dealt with the issue I'm experiencing.
I recently built my first AMD-based system and thus far have been quite pleased with it.
I have an AMD FX-8350 CPU, 8GB of Crucial 1866 RAM (2X4GB) in an Asus M5A99X EVO R2 motherboard. This setup has been quite stable for just about a month now.
Prior to making some other changes in the system, I decided to test the RAM to ensure there were no problems. I downloaded what I believe are the latest versions of Memtest86, both the 4.3.5 build and the 5.0.0-pro beta build.
I booted the system from the ISO created CD and allowed the default multi-core testing to begin. Regardless of which version of Memtest86 I used, the system rebooted about 20 to 25 seconds into the initial test each time. After multiple attempts to get the test to run, I then selected the Single CPU test on the 5.0.0 Beta build and it ran without error.
Is this a known issue with Memtest86 and AMD CPUs or 8-Core CPUs? My concern is that there is an underlying hardware issue with my build and I am unaware of it. This system will soon be placed in a location where it will be difficult to access, so if there are hardware issues, I'd rather deal with them now than later.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
