Errors |

Action on Error A number of actions can be taken when BurnInTest detects an error Continue The error counter is incremented and testing continues. Play sound and continue The error counter is incremented, the computer plays a sound via the sound card and testing continues. System beep and continue The error counter is incremented, the system speaker beeps and testing continues. Auto-Stop tests All the tests are stopped and the "failed" window is displayed. Windows errors (Abort / Retry / Cancel) You can specify whether BurnInTest should block or allow critical Windows errors. Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) Report WHEA hardware errors You can specify whether BurnInTest should monitor and report WHEA hardware errors during testing, like corrected ECC memory errors, CPU or PCI-E hardware errors. When this option is selected, during testing BurnInTest will monitor for CPER (Common Platform Error Reports) formatted WHEA hardware errors that are logged to Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-WHEA/Errors and System,Microsoft-Windows-WHEA-Logger (as part of the Microsoft Windows Hardware Error Architecture). It should be noted that some hardware errors like corrected ECC memory errors may be raised after a threshold (e.g. after 4 corrected memory errors), they may also not be reported immediately (e.g. Windows may poll for these errors once a minute).
