Hi;
I recently tested my Asus X99-E WS USB/3.1 system (with a Xeon E5-1650 V4), and the default settings (using Memtest 8.3 Pro) passed after running 4 passes. This took about 11 and a half hours on 64 GB of ECC memory.
For the first time I then tried running the tests with the 'Sequential' CPU option. The system locked up after a minute or two and I needed to reset the system with the hardware reset button.
I updated to Memtest 8.4 pro with no apparent difference.
I tried running with the 'Round robin' CPU option and that seemed to work o.k. (at least for the 46 minutes I tried it).
Does this seem like it would be an incompatibility between my system and Memtest 86 in sequential CPU mode?
I tried running with the 'Sequential' CPU option and a few different sub-ranges of memory selected in the test setup gui. (Trying to see if this was memory range related).
Limiting the address range to 0-20 G, 20-40G, 0-30 G,33 G-64 G etc. all seem to fail.
For some reason, trying 40G-60G runs for at least about 12 minutes (that seemed a lot longer than the cases that hung so I cancelled the test at that point).
I will attach the zipped log where I tried several different different options. In the interests of time I usually declared victory if a test ran more than 12 minutes, but I ran some tests for longer.
And, as I said, I was able to run 4 complete passes successfully overnight using the default 'parallel' CPU option.
Thanks;
