Re: Hyperthreading gets me random Stop errors

Seems to point to either the driver or RAM timing issues, I would suspect the later given your description. With HT turned on I suspect the timing changes enough to cause and issue. Was XP installed with HT disabled and then turned on after the fact?

Those are just a few but they're all Category (102).

My PC is 100% up-to-date in all aspects (SP2, patches, drivers, firmware, security). Unless there's something specific I need to fix this. All these errors stopped after disabling Hyperthreading, but when HT was enabled, the errors came usually upon launching a program, or working in-between programs and multi-tasking even a little bit.

My RAM and HDD have passed all tests too. I'm really upset about having to turn HT off, I don't know why all those Stop errors came randomly with it.

The folks will want to know what the random Stop error numbers were. Also it could be the use of HT pushed the heat level over some peak causing the problem.

After trying to troublehsoot my constant stop errors (usually random), I eventually disbaled hyperthreading in the BIOS. The computer is now stable.

I have Windows XP Home Edition and I can't use HT anymore without constant random BSODs. What could be the conflict here? I have tried the Intely HT Test Utility and they all a pass.
