Why can't I run UserBenchmark on my new PC?
Asked by
TechieNerd42
I recently built a new PC and wanted to use UserBenchmark for some quick testing to ensure all my components are working correctly. However, whenever I try to launch the UserBenchmark executable, I get an error that says 'Cannot connect' with a specific message: 'Error: BC:GCPostCheckVersion Handshake failed: wrong version number.' I've looked up solutions online but haven't found anything that works. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Honestly, if you’re experiencing issues with UserBenchmark, it might be a blessing in disguise—it's not considered the most reliable tool out there. I suggest trying out alternatives like 3DMark, Superposition, or OCCT. They’re much better for stress testing and validating your PC components.

PCBuilder101: I get that some people find UserBenchmark easy to use, but there's a lot of better options out there. Still, it's frustrating to deal with these connection errors. Good luck!
