Test 1) produces randomly premature compiler stops in all 64 bit kernels and in kernel 2.4.27. In the error logs I often find "Speicherzugriffsfehler" (memory access failure (hopefully translated correctly))

Test 2) is stable with 32 bit Kernels, with 64 Bit kernels it crashes the machine (kernel panic) within 10 to 60 minutes. Usually the crash is so fast that I find nothing in the logs, but in one case I was able to trace the
Kernel Oops (kernel version kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8):

I changed RAM (4x 512 MByte) and power supply (450 instead of 300 W) but this had no influence.

I assume it cannot be the general stability of the 64 bit kernel and maybe I have a defect motherboard but in that case it feels strange, that kernel 2.6.8-2-686 runs my tests absolut stable whithout any errors (testing time 24 hours).

I am glad that after a week of testing I finally found a stable configuration but you have to admit that it is kind of frustrating, that the system consequently refuses to run stable in 64 bit mode.

Is this an isolated case with an unlucky hardware mixture or can somebody report similar failures?

Any comments or suggestions would be gladly appreciated.

Which RAM parameters do you use?

With the same board and Corsair RAM (given for 2-3-3-6 for P4 and 2.5-3-3-6 for athlon64), I was working in 32bit with 2 instead of 2.5 for the CAS, but I had to set it to 2.5 in 64 bit.

Maybe you have to relax a bit your timings?
