Don't do other stuff with you're testing with Linx. It apparently does interfere (other applications are stealing CPU cycles) and cause irregular results.
Allocating Linx/IBT more RAM than available
In LinX I always set memory to "All". I start the test and continue to do what I was doing ( checking e-mail, watching youtube videos, listening to music ). It does seem sluggish sometimes. One day I would pass 20 runs in LinX with no errors. Next morning I wake up and do IBT again to double check with same settings and I get an error. Could it be that I'm interfering with the stress test? I always thought that the more stress the better ( LOL ) so I thought me using the computer while it's checking for stability is fine, but now I am a bit skeptical.
I downloaded IBT and set Stress Level to "Maximum" and it told me I cannot use more memory than I have available..so I guess it's bad for me to be on the computer while stress testing.
What do you say?
