as for what caused it.. i believe it has to do with in my case atleast "mainserv.exe" as this for some reason max's out the cpu. im running apc powerchute version 2.0 apparantly a recent windows update is causing this issue and the latest version of powerchute fixes it, will see.

seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.

benchmarks timed out?

From the FAQ:

Quote:

Q. When running the benchmarks, I am getting an error that says "FP benchmark ran only 0.375000 sec; ignoring; CPU benchmarks error". Is there something wrong with my CPU?
A. This means that a higher CPU-bound process is running. Check in Task Manager (or equivalent) what is taking up the CPU, stop that process, then rerun the CPU benchmarks (Advanced->Run CPU benchmarks).

Always run your benchmarks when the CPU is not in use by higher priority programs.
