Same hardware connected to the replacement CUSL2-C, running XP. No issues whatsoever. I am pleased to see you got the TUSL2-C board and thank you for checking out SIV on it. All looks as I would expect which confirms there is a hardware issue with the TUSL2 . Looking at Menu->Hardware->CPU Detail-> …

It's roughly the same, it appears to be about 0.001 sec off/min. Thank you for checking and it looks like the issue I was seeing has gone away so guess I may never know what it was happening. I guess it's too soon for the new board to have arrived. Here we go. Same hardware connected to the …

I'd be more than willing to just send the malfunctioning CUSL2 to you gratis to keep. Perhaps you'll be able to prevent it from seeing a landfill. It may be something very straightforward with your knowhow. I am really a software guy who can tell when hardware is faulty and used to work with …

By any chance have you tried a different OS instead of 2k? Either XP pro or even a 9x just for trouble shooting? Yeah, I've also tried 98SE and XP. XP does a better job at detecting what the PCI devices are on the malfunctioning BUS. In a sense though it's worse than 2000 because XP will just hang …

Latest SIV run is attached. Log file is "0" bytes though. Thank you all the adjustments worked as I intended. This time the ACPI Timer worked sensibly so nothing should get logged to SIV_DBGOUT.log. I am not really sure why it was strange and what has changed to make it go away. If you do SIV32L - …

I didn't see ASUS AS99127 reported Thank you for your testing and the new save files. With HWiNFO the ASUS AS99127 would be on it's Sensors rather than the Summary panel, but AIDA64 reported it as a Winbond W83782D which has an ID of 0x30 , but on your system the ID is 0x31 which AFAIK is an ASUS …

Neither HWinfo32 nor CPU-Z appeared to report SPD info. Thank you for checking things out and posting the new SIV save files. This time the ACPI timer worked as expected with the elapsed time being 1.016 seconds. I suspected HWiNFO32 + CPU-Z would also fail to report the SPD and feel it would be …

If yourself or anyone else has any recommendations for another Tualatin options besides the TUSL2 series, I'm all ears. Here are three successful runs with captures, with a reboot in-between for good measure. No hangs or CPU pegging at all. Most of the i815 chipset Tualatin systems I have tested …

Yes, it hangs at "CPU-TIMER" while pinning the CPU @ 100%. I ran the 5.55 Xmas-02 on the NetServer Good luck with the ASUS TUSL2 return and thank you for the HP NetServer save files, it's very strange SIV also spins on that system. I just checked my MSI MS-6135 system running Windows 2000 SP4 and …

I did re-run the SIV Xmas-2 release without any PCI/AGP devices with BIOS defaults. Still hung on "cpu-timer" but that seems to be par for this course/MB. Thank you for the update and in truth I was half expecting the rebuild would not make the issue go away. Where did the board come come and can …

There hasn't been any BSOD on this system, just when running it on the P3-866 HP system, which is dual CPU. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. OK and good luck with the rebuild. The BSOD on the P3-866 HP system happened while dumping the GPU registers so is unlikely to be down to it having …
