System Stress Test Failure Information

Test Group 5412

Device System

The tests in this group reference the computer as a system rather than to focus on any single device. Tests may access multiple components simultaneously, so as to invoke issues that might only be seen under those conditions, for example those issues which occur with the associated increase in power or thermal load. They may also be concerned with the detection of system wide configuration issues.

Test Number 401

Test Name Stress

This test simulates a heavy system load. It utilises all available processor sockets, threads, hard drives, solid state drives, system and video memory.

Note: If the system is found to restart during this test, it is likely to have suffered an unrecoverable error. Possible causes are firmware triggered protective thermal shutdown, insufficient or unstable power supply and memory corruption. The results log will show that the test was started as the last entry.

Note: Since testing occurs in the pre-boot environment without drivers, graphics card testing is restricted to operations on the frame buffer. For more sophisticated graphics card testing with 3D objects, please use our Windows diagnostic.

Estimated Test Time Specified by Duration parameter (5m)

PARAM1: Use bootstrap processor only

Test only the bootstrap processor thread.

PARAM2:Duration

How long to run the test in seconds.

PARAM3:Include Processor

Include processor for stress testing.

PARAM4:Include Memory

Include memory for stress testing.

PARAM5: Include Video

Include graphics card for stress testing.

PARAM6: Include Hard Disk Drives

Include hard drives for stress testing.

PARAM7: Include Solid State Devices

Include solid state drives for stress testing.

PARAM8: Include NVMe Devices

Include NVMe drives for stress testing.

PARAM9: Include System Block Devices

Include system block devices for stress testing.

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

There are no testable system components selected or available. CODE="0x00/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING0:Check the system configuration or test parameters to ensure that testable components exist. 

Memory allocation failure. CODE="0x01/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING2: There was an internal error. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates. 

The application processor timed out. CODE="0x02/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING1:A processor core management error was reported. A hardware fault may exist. Check first for BIOS updates. 

One or more application processors failed to start. CODE="0x04/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING2: There was an internal error. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates. 

A diagnostic group failed to initialise for stress testing. CODE="0x05/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING2: There was an internal error. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates. 

A hard drive failed during stress testing. CODE="0x06/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

A solid state drive failed during stress testing. CODE="0x07/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

An NVMe drive failed during stress testing. CODE="0x08/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

A system block device failed during stress testing. CODE="0x09/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

Graphics card failed during stress testing. CODE="0x0A/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

Memory failed during stress testing. CODE="0x0B/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

Processor failed during stress testing. CODE="0x0C/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: A device has failed during system testing. More specific failure information may be possible by running tests of the device diagnostic group. If the device only fails during system stress testing, consider causes such as insufficient or unstable power supply and thermal instability. 

A boot variable mentioned in the system boot order points to an invalid location. CODE="0x0D/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING4: The invalid boot entry number is given in the result extra data. Check boot settings in the system Setup utility and ensure all connected disk devices are functional. 

Non-Specific test failure. CODE="0x0E/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING2: There was an internal error. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates.
