BSOD after CPU upgrade

[gamerdude1989]

Hi guys

Just having a tinker round with my old Twin Xeon computer tonight, As im planning to use it as a basic video render machine..

I came across a pair of Xeon E5345 Quad Cores on ebay for £20, so i bought them..

As on the internet, its said that the HP XW6400 workstation (what ive got), can support them...

All boots perfectly fine etc, But randomly get a BSOD.. with an error..

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR....
Then restarts...

It did it first time, when i rendered a quick video to test its speeds..
As soon as i clicked "start render" it did it..

Any ideas?

Any chance you can get the minidump and share that with us? We need bluescreen data before we can help you diagnose the problem.

is this it??

if its any help.. I have been using the computer all night, to do my random junk, Like watch twitch streams, youtube etc...
been perfectly fine.. No issue what so ever..

But as soon as i open up Power Director and click the magic "start render".... it starts rendering, then a few second.. BSOD's..
Last attempt got 7 seconds into the render..

Upon restart from BSOD, i get an error message appear

927-Non fatal FSB error on Front Side Bus 1

of which i have to hit F1 to continue boot...

i thought this may help

Was the machine working properly with the old setup?

Also is everything set to default factory settings etc?

TBH it seems like theres a power delivery issue, no basis for the assumption though.

yes the machine was working perfectly fine before the CPU upgrade..
But i cant really put my finger on it being faulty CPU's.
As they run spot on, until they are put under load..
I have never seen a semi-faulty CPU. normally when they get a fault, they are dead..

i did think the same thing tbh, as these new chips are quad cores, and the old pair i removed were dual cores, so power consumption will obviously increase..
and the PSU in this workstation is only a 500w...
Also powering a 550Ti, 16gb ECC RAM, 4x HDD's etc...

But i did that test, removed one of the CPU's, ran t on just 1, as it would put less load on the PSU.. But still did it...

I have been searching the web, some people say that not every XW6400 Mobo can run these quads cores, only a select few, for unknown reasons... but surely, if it was unsupported, then it wouldnt run at all? no POST or anything...

cheers

Are the pins etc fine?

 

[Davva2004]

Are you running the latest BIOS?

 

[gamerdude1989]

yes and yes guys

updated BIOS, and Drivers...

CPU socket pins are fine, Because the computer is fine with the original CPU's back in..
Visually, the pads on the new CPU's look perfectly fine..

Most common cause for the error is due to a voltage issue to one or both of the chips. Can you set voltage in the BIOS?
