Should complete 2 projects tomorrow :0 one 400 WU and a 120

smite · September 28, 2003, 05:07:07 PM

im due to finish 2 2500's by the end of the day. would have been quicker but for some reason when the screen saver comes on it halts it....didnt realise this until i looked in the logs after i noticed the percentage hadnt changed for a couple of hours. Does anyone else get this problem?

No.

The borging of my hall is underway, watch this space

smite, F@H is very well behaved and runs as the lowest priority. If you have a screen saver then it WILL take CPU time away from F@H.

Up and running... I think?

Welcome to the team Ninja! You'll get your mention in the folding topic when your first WU is credited

Yay my first WU done

I think Folding is crashing my PC..

I've had 3 complete lock-ups since installation.. Am I missing some setup of sorts?

TeaLeaf · September 29, 2003, 10:49:45 PM

Is your machine overclocked? An unstable hardware system will tend to crash the folding software. If you are having problems it may be indicative of an as yet undisclosed hardware problem, but you're the first member of these forums to report crashes as far as I am aware......and a lot of people are using this worldwide! What exactly is happening?

Playing CS... then complete lock-up. Not sure if it's trying to send info back and forth and taking all the bandwidth or not...

I'm adjusting the CPU usage % to see if it has any affect. Lowered it down to 20 and things seem OK.. bumping back up to 50% and I'll let you know if I have any further problems.

System is not overclocked (yet).

Also, happened when playing Jedi Academy

I have to say that AFAIAA I do not get any cpu-induced spikes through running F@H. I have tried it with and without the client running and can't tell the difference! I have to say that it soulds like there is some other problem lurking elsewhere in the system - I wouldn't concentrate too much on the F@H client, too many people run it and this problem is nto at all typical or well reported. If it caused this sort of problem then I'm sure we would know about it. You have to remember it was specifically written to avoid this kind of thing.......

Sorry not to be of more help.

You people play cs while running the F@H client? Does it not affect performance then, cos i've been turning mine off all the time when i wanted to do anything.

TeaLeaf · September 30, 2003, 06:53:52 PM

JB, if I was playing in a match then yeah, I'd bet on the safe side and turn it off, but other than this I have never turned F@H off - and I can discern no noticeable difference in performance whatsoever - that's the way it is written - it will only ever use CPU cycles that are *not* being used by you for something else.

Ahh thats a question i was going to ask, ill leave it on all the time now.
