If step one is true, (upgrade version), then did you install all chipset/drivers for win 7 first, and then install win 10? or did you install win 7 and then immediately install win 10? and then drivers?
Is this the same threadripper system? 4 passes in 2 hours... seems to me you have 8GB tops for dimms, is that correct? My 32 gb needed 8 hours or more for one single pass of memtest.
How many programs do you have installed? Have you checked for viruses or malware?
The W10 was installed as a separate boot install after the W7 install.
I would never do a W10 install over or "upgrade W7 to W10", always a clean install.
Programs installed, only a few VLC,MPClassic,FileLocater Lite,
VideoReDo Pro<(work in progress).
Oh, if you do a W10 "upgrade" over or separate from W7
you MUST activate the W7 install before you do the separate
W10 install or W10 will NOT activate.
Had to activate W7 and then reinstall the separate W10 all over again and it activated.
It is the same 16 core Threadripper but memtest was 1 pass in 2 hours for 64 Gigs ram.
Wow,"8 hours for 32 Gigs" in memtest. 8x longer... I can only guess
as my 16 cores got up to 80c and completed the test in 2 hours with twice the ram
that memtest must really, really use/need a LOT of cores!...again WOW! Core hungry.
Hmm, only thing I can think to check that with is run memtest in a VirtualMachine and
watch the core use with the Host. Am a LONG way from installing VMs in W10.
But the W7 boot should be no problem...will have to remember to check that out.
