Topic 197349
(moderation:
before i go through the hoops known as dell tech support, i wanted to post here first. i personally think its the CPU but was asked if einstein could be the cause as its mentioned in the debugs.
back story, "new" xps 8700 well, new a few months ago. has been crashing about once a week since i got it with 0x124, the lovely "general" hardware failure (event log and windbg output to follow), at first they replaced the GPU. then when i posted a full windows debug of a full memory dump, they caught einstein mentioned and of course there blaming that. i dont buy it. but figured id post the info here since frankly, i have no idea what im reading and would like some input from you folks.
EDIT: i forgot to mention, to rule out my software i did a full system recovery (wipe out and install from factory image), the only things i have reinstalled are basic items for daily web surfing, i.e. firefox, avast!, and of course einstein and the windows debugger.

is it einstein or my hardware?
)
I think the first thing I would do is stop Einstein for a week or two and see if the problem keeps happening. If it does, you can tell Dell it did and Einstein can't be the problem.
Einstein shouldn't be the problem, but the easiest way to convince the "experts" is to eliminate it.

)
i actually did do that, made it 2 weeks before i needed to do a reboot, except, that doesnt really prove it was einstein, just that the system is stable under idle conditions. with out einstein running it uses about 3GB's ram and barely any cpu at all. so if this is a hardware issue that simply proves its fine under no load conditions. where as when einstein is running it uses 100% of all 8 threads (intel i7-4770) and 6GB's + of the 12GB's available.
it turns in to a bunch of "coulds" it "could" be the memory, once something hits a high value it trips (i reseated and even switched around the dimms so i doubt it), it "could" be the heatsink, it "could" be the cpu its self, it "could" be the motherboard... thats what i mean about hoops.
thats why i wanted to post here, to see if any one with the debugging skills can give me insight, i mean this "could" be an actual einstein issue. seriously doubt it though.
and i know if i use some other software to stress the system theyd just blame that. though that would prove its not "just" einstein, any "free" software out there any one knows of that can stress the cpu like einstein does?

Hi Paul,
boot from a Linux-Live-CD (e.g. Ubuntu) and run memcheck for 24 hours.
If ok then run prime95 (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/) and start the torture test (Options->Torture Test...) for 1 or 2 days.
Good luck!

Jürgens suggestions are
)
Jürgens suggestions are good. I suppose it's rather a memory fault than the CPU (they hardly ever fail). Win also has a memory test included since about Win 8. It seems to be pretty much the same thing (which would make a lot of sense), but I don't know for sure. In any case both should run for a long time and if either of them shows an error you've probably got the problem grabbed by the balls. there's no way DELL could blame this on software loading your system.

While based on issues caused
)
While based on issues caused by OC I think the codes/ causes are likely still relevant:
0×124 = add/remove vcore or VTT voltage (usually Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)
0×101 = add more vcore
0×50 = RAM timings/Frequency add DDR3 voltage or add VTT
0x1E = add more vcore
0x3B = add more vcore
0xD1 = add VTT voltage
0x9C = VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0X109 = add DDR3 voltage
0x0A = add VTT voltage
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your RAM voltage. Can also mean more juice for the south bridge ICH volts
0×19: memory voltage

well, my warranty goes out in
)
well, my warranty goes out in a month. and dell still insists its einstein. all because they see the binary mentioned in the error. system just crashed again and ill post the latest dump. i personally call b.s. but with out hard proof im SOL, as i was actually considering suing them. thing is, if i dont run einstein it still crashes it just picks another binary to mention. but it takes a significantly longer amount of time to do so.
oh, and we can rule out memory. they replaced every single part on here "except" the cpu. i dont suppose i could send it in to INTEL on my own some how? (or some windebug commands i can use to drill this down further since dell wont even let me send them the memory dumps?)

RE: well, my warranty goes

I'm guessing you did run the Prime95 test then?
These two lines also bother me:
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0x124_GenuineIntel_PROCESSOR_CACHE
and
FAILURE_ID_HASH_STRING: km:0x124_genuineintel_processor_cache.
You may have to search for some cpu test programs such as those here:
http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd Down near the bottom of the page is Testing Tools, if you download the whole cd you will get all of the tools, but you can also download them one at a time and test things. I clicked on test cpu/video... and got this screen: http://www.geocities.ws/sluvoni/
It seems to show that it tests your cpu cache. You might want to also test your video memory using these two tools too:
Video Memory Stress Test 1.7.116 A tool to thoroughly test your video RAM for errors and faults.
and
Video Memory Stress Test CE 1.21 Tests all video RAM accessible by 32-bit CPU address space from a clean environment.
As you said you ONLY have 30 days left, I would get testing soon to figure out what the problem is, or may have to live with it.
As Mikey said, you should
)
As Mikey said, you should really do some of the tests suggested here. Some easier options:
- Run any other BOINC project. I suspect the CPU load will also trigger the error quicker than regular operation. Then they can't point to Einstein any more. If they still decline you could run a 3rd project.. and ask them which program is allowed to fully load their machine. If the answer is "none" it might be time to sue. Otherwise - try it and it wil probably also generate the error.
- Run some stress tests in Win (instead of BOINC). "Intel Burn Test" (easy to google) is a good one, as it comes from a Intel themselves.
