Error message about system failure during stress
Error message about system failure during stress
I have a Windows system equipped with dual Xeon CPUs, each having 8 cores, and when rendering in Vray it shuts down after just a few minutes, even with light scenes.
I performed an Aida stress test lasting one hour without any issues. Temperatures appear normal, not exceeding 70°C.
Subsequently, I conducted the following one-hour tests using OCCT: CPU and RAM showed no errors, but CPU+RAM encountered thousands of errors across two specific cores.
I would value your expert advice on potential causes and solutions to resolve this issue. Thank you.
Use Memtest86 to check the RAM.

Four full runs are allowed, meaning all 15 tests repeated four times.
The time depends on your RAM size—like one 8GB pass takes about 2 hours, two passes take roughly 2.5 hours, etc.
If no errors appear after all tests, the RAM is working properly.
If issues persist, consider replacing the CPU with the faulty cores.
I’m not sure if you can disable those cores permanently, but if RAM errors are confirmed, swapping in new RAM first makes sense since it’s usually less expensive.
