G4 & Tech Tool Deluxe

Power Mac G4, Dual 1GHz and OS V10.4.11- When I start up the "Power On Self-Test" shows FailureType: External cache, but when I run Tech Tool Deluxe V3.1.1 it shows that every thing passes is there some conflict there or do they not test the same things? Thank you.

I would like to think everyone for their help, but it looks like I got lucky. It looked like I was going to have to buy a new processor so I figured I had nothing to loose. I removed the heatsink and then the card, I was looking for burnt wires or anything that looked odd, as far as I could tell everything was fine, I wouldn't have known if it wasn't:) I cleaned the board and made sure everything was seated, put it back together, started it up (watched for smoke) went to the System Profiler and the Diagnostics now shows the L3 Cache, maybe something was loose or just cleaning it did the trick. Thanks again.
