Quad core and prime. When run, prime falls over before it's starts on 1 core but is ok on the other 3, it's always the same core and always the same message, something like should be 4 but took 5.
That core works fine in ever other application that stresses the cpu except prime.
Any ideas as to why this might happen.
Memory is ok, old'ish board but very capable of running this chip and not overclocked (although I can get about 3.4 out of it then memory falls over)
