This is a known issue when running the benchmark in loop-mode. The most likely cause is a driver and software compatibility issue as this error appears on various vendor’s hardware. Since 3DMark2001 SE is an old benchmark and not technically supported, Futuremark strongly suggests to use one of our more recent benchmarks such as 3DMark05 or the latest edition 3DMark06 for evaluating hardware.
