wtf, futuremark?

so, i try running 3dmark03 and 3dmark05 and i keep getting this error towards the end of the bench:

idirect3ddevice9::present failed: device lost (d3derr_devicelost)

why? how do i fix that?

post your system specs. I have heard that it can be caused by a bad PSU or a component not getting enough juice.....but without the specs I can't help you.

I dunno, could be possible your components aren't getting enough juice from that PSU.

it was getting enough juice before... couldn't imagine why it wouldn't now. before, i had the same components (sans motherboard), except i had a p4 3.0c...... the p-m takes way less power to run than the p4.

what does your board monitor say for voltage rails? My guess is with the wire mod, video card, etc it could be the voltages.....but like I said, I don't know. i have zero experience with that setup.
From googling your issue, everyone else who has had that issue found it to be a voltage issue, which is why I suggested that.

Make sure your system resources aren't low, futuremark doesnt react well in that situation.

i figured out what it was.... it was f@h

yes... running F@H during benchmarking is bad unless you have a dual core CPU

It's not a voltage problem...It more to do with the applications that are open at the time when you run the benchmark. Amazingly I experienced the same thing when I loaded the 3DMark 05 demo and MBM5 at the same time. All I had to do was let one finish loading and then run the demo again.
