It's crunch time!

[hedge]

Is there a way to migrate it to the same machine in my profile? or will I need to create another one, and delete the old one?

You can try backing up the boinc folder from the programdata folder on your computer. Then after reinstalling windows and installing the boinc client, do not attach it to any projects. Just copy the boinc folder you backed up into the programdata again. Let me know if you need clarification.

[D_A]

Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but you can't move one instance of BOINC from one machine to another without drama. In order for the accounting on each work unit to be valid, the unit has to be tied to a single machine. Valid, error whatever it all has to be tied to a single machine. If you try and do anything "funny" the client will likely just wipe all the work and re-download it to keep the accounting in order.

Having said that you can change the name of your system whenever you like. It's just the network name of the computer. Ultimately it's the unique ID that's important.

Also, don't be concerned about having however many clients listed on the page that aren't doing anything. It's just for accounting purposes. Just worry about getting the best out of your hardware.

Thought I'd lend a paw for a few days.

My CPU is buzzing. buzz. buzz. buzz.

And i like this neat pattern WCG makes when crunching.

It outlines strengths & weaknesses in the steppings to date. He says that B1s are good, A0s die.
Hope it's just a memory failure, mate.

BTW, just thought I'd give Supercomputer Week a nice little kick to get it under way:

... but I can't keep it up (430k that is) for the rest of the week, and I don't think that v####a would help.

NEW WCG MEMBERS: WELCOME, THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION, AND PLEASE STAY

mmmm

Putting together another quad machine, and upgrading the CPU in the loungeroom to a PHII 965 from an old 9500,

unfortunatly i'm out of win7 licences so the other quad will end up on xp 32bit, but not to worry!

that'll bring me up to 24 cores in total.

Maybe I should set the laptop up too? What have you people done to me

holy crap we are catching up to Team2Ch for ppd :O

ive got my 2 machines running and id be pushing more but my c2q keeps crashing. i was just playing just cause on ps3 and windows 7 professional BSOD'd IRql not less or equal so

[D_A]

If it's overclocked, it's not stable. Drop it a couple of notches. If it's not overclocked ... well that gets a little more complicated.

[mAJORD]

Hedge.. THanks for the tips. I might just leave it as a new machine as Id finished off most of the w/u's underway before the reinstall..

Pretty sure it's meant to look more like a flat line at 100%... are you sure you have set it up right?

[D_A]

Open the BOINC Manager, go to Advanced and enter these settings:

[joshd]

No offence, and I am sure you love it, but that might just be the worst theme I have ever seen! :/

[D_A]

I change my theme as I please. This current one is based on brass and wood. That image doesn't look like brass, it IS brass. I'm thinking about going for a minimalist smoked glass theme next.

Sounds good. I used to spend alot of time on theming, but now just use the windows default one. :S

[D_A]

I spend, maybe, 45 seconds to a minute in windows at a time. Tops. I run a customised Linux machine.

Its a B1, I haven't tested another cpu yet. With the chip in nothing is displayed on the diagnostic display. When I remove the chip I atleast get a readout. Hope its not the memory either $450 dom gt.

[MrDucky]

does anyone else has 13 completed tasks ready to report?? i never had this before.

Offtopic: why is the blackops banner still down there :P

Dude that sucks... any chance of a 30 day RMA?

[=[PULSAR]=]

It was a retail so just going to RMA through intel last time I RMA'd through them it was a pretty easy process but that was years ago.

Busy with work, didn't notice it was May already

[GTSRboy]

CPUs are now at 100%

temp is now at 51C

[Kingcarcas]

Sorry mate but 100% cpu time makes the system laggy....had to drop it down some...not that i'm a big contributor anywho..

[D_A]

You've probably hit the limit of your installed memory. Either throttle it back, like you've done, or cut back the amount of memory it's allowed to take in the preferences. Either way, there's no need to put up with a laggy system.
