That sounds like maybe spyware? Can you format and re-install O/S?Quote:

Then my comcast was down over the weekend because of an audit and my line wasn't marked so they thought I was stealing cable so they disconnected me! Got it turned back on today and closed over 4k today.
Geez, glad you got it all figured out. Long haul there. Hey look at the bright side, EOC was down over the weekend so at least your sig wasn't there to remind of the issues :lol2:
Problems again.
I have 1 work unit that is stuck on 98%, and it started on 06/02
The other is stuck also it is at %46 and started on 06/04
What is going on?
if it's failing over and over, I usually trash it and get a fresh one. delete work folder, queue.dat, and unitinfo.txt...
but if it's just stuck, reboot to restart the client.. and see if you can finish it...
honestly though, if it's been eue'ing or erroring at the same % over and over and starting over from initial work packet, trash it. delete those 3 files and it'll erase it, so it won't just keep starting from initial work packet over and over..
you can report the wu at fah with your logs if you want, http://foldingforum.org/viewforum.ph...60c51052360161 but they usually just repeat what I said above...
I restarted the clients. The one that was 46% started back up. The one that was 98% completed went past the deadline. :(
In the summer heat make sure they aren't running too warm. Increased temps can lead to goofy things.
The summer heat is a killer here lol. I've been shutting 2 Q6600's off during the day, my little AC just can't keep it cool in here with them on.:(
The next 10 days should be alright for 24/7 use tho, only 3 days that it will be 80f-90f+.
Sounds like you need an AC upgrade. The AC at my apartment is set to 75 and has been able to keep up OK. Are you using a window AC unit?
Boy have I ever got the same problem. It's been over 100f for 5 days straight. And with 5 computers in the same room, it's just too much for the central air to handle... global climate change is tickin me off. :cussing:Quote:

Ouch! We haven't hit 100f yet lol but its coming.:(Quote:

I still get points for the expired WU. :D
when I have shutdown probs, I can usually find them in event viewer with timestamps.. it'll showup as "unexpected shutdown"..Quote:

but for xp, you can open a cmd window and type:
"net statistics server"
and the very first line will display a date and time the system came back up, so you'll know when it was rebooted basically..
thanks Mike!
I'll try that next time I see the problem.
The high pressure finally let go last night and a cold front moved through Virginia - so we cooled down to the low ninties!
OK, the team output is going up!!!
WAY TO GO GUYS! I think if we can recruit all of our NV users to run the GPU2 client, we'll see our daily output surge above 200k!
Everyone keep up the great work and tell a friend!!
Man I think it time to upgrade the x1950xt in the wifes computer.;)
Now I just gotta con her into it!:hehe:
Hehe sounds like a plan :DQuote:

Sparky. Go to Intel. Get rid of that junky AMD quads. Hows the RMA coming?
Believe me, with all the trouble I've had and with the possibility of getting a q6600 from ebay for cheap and breaking even after selling my stuff (after CPU replacement that is) it is very tempting. And this is coming from a die hard AMD guy! :eek:Quote:

*edit* I can't believe what I just did... I actually bought a q6600 G0.... what's happening to me...
welcome to the dark side.. :up: I was a amd guy for quite a few years, my last 3 were a semron barton, x2 4600, and x2 6000... then in oct 07 I bought a Q6600, now have 3... :shakes:Quote:

I been able to resist, due to a pretty flat wallet and nothing else :shrug::up:
:WTF:
Heh I can't get more than one, after all, once I get this nuisance phenom replaced finally I should be able to sell it and my board for enough to cover most of the cost of the switch if not all of it (I got a really good deal on the CPU).Quote:

Ow and my gf gave me a new camera, also entry level nut allot better then our old one, Kodak Z710. Small things, new dvd burner ect but nothing I can say I specificly bought for folding. Even couldn't stretch to a 4850 which I know smokes the 9600gt in anything. But atleast I just found out my gpu can fold to lol, just installed the cuda drivers since I was stuck at 60 ops/second and when I wake up tomorrow I'll reboot the rig and try running the gpu client with the smp.
