Had this problem in the past, then it fixed itself, now it's happening again - screen shot attached this time.

Run GeekBench 3 on 2013 Macbook Pro Mavericks & no problem.
Run GeekBench 3 in Win7 running on same machine under Parallels 9 and it fails with "Internal Timer Error Detected".

No hardware changes, only changes would be updates to Mavericks, Parallels, Windows 7.

   Hi Brian,

   Thank you for your message, and I'm sorry you're having problems with Geekbench. We'll look into ways we can work around the Internal Timer Error on Parallels, although I fear this is an issue with Parallels that we might not be able to solve.

   Best,
   John

   I'm suddenly having this issue on Parallels, also. I have run both Geekbench 2 and 3 in 32 bit and 64 bit mode for years and it's never happened before. This is a virtual machine I copied from my MacBook Pro since the iMac VM got corrupted. On the MacBook it worked fine, but not the iMac...don't see why it would make a difference.

   I reset the Windows clock and it ran after that. I think it was a timing difference between the virtual machine on the MacBook and the iMac clock. Ran with no hitch after resetting the clock.
