Hey all! I know it's been a while (or several years), but I just managed to recover my password to the email linked to this account, and then reset my access to the forums... I've been lurking on and off for the past few years, but life has had me so busy I just didn't have a chance to do more...

Alright, here's the scenario - my family room (almost) 4 year old build is having intermittent freezing issues. No BSOD, nothing showing up in the event viewer except the standard improper restart message from having to hard reboot. Sometimes it can run 24 hours without a problem while being...

Well, it's been over a year since my q6600/dual 9800gtx system went down and I had to take a break from using my q9550 system due to overheating, but as of the 25th of this month I make my final credit card payment and will be able to finally buy the parts to get both systems back up and...

For any of you running your ATI cards on Collatz, you may have noticed no work reporting/downloading. From their website: Just tried it and it's back up and running with the client reboot. [H]ard Commandos, go check your clients - FreeDC shows our entire team with goose eggs for the past three...

Well since taxes I owe came in a bit less than I thought, I was looking in to upgrading the E2160 Pentium Dual Core in my everyday (non-dedicated folding) computer, but it appears that the Q6x00 or QX6x00 extreme processors are the best this old board can handle. While I'd love to move to an...

New year's goal #1: Do what I can to help increase the distance from the 1.4 year eVGA overtake... Time to upgrade the 9600GSO's this year. Happy New Year [H]ard Folders, [H]ard Commandoes, and everyone else out there that comes across this! :D

Well, almost - 1,999,984 as of the 7pm post... I remember last summer when I started folding thinking how cool it would be to get to the first page of stats, but here I am approaching 2M, and still ranked 224! Damn, it sure gets slow going up here with nothing but a pair of 9600GSOs...

Okay, short, quick question - I'm building a new folding box (disguised to my wife as the new media server), and am trying to decide if I should go with the 32 bit XP I currently have, or try the RC of win7. First question for Win7 is will I have to do the whole dummy plug on the 2nd vid card...

Don't know about the quality of this board, but for the price it sure looks good to add 3 cards and a quad, so I figured i'd throw it out there for anyone interested: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186144 Cliffs: Foxcon mobo, x48 chipset, 3x PCI-E x16, 50% off, free...

I know this is probably a dumb question, but as an NVidia only guy, can someone tell me what kind of ppd would one of these put out? Since they're cheap, I gotta guess it's very little, but the price is right, and I have a few family members with computers I could stick these in and Borg the...

Is it just me, or is the stat site messing up for eveyone else? I mean, it's probably the only time I'll every see my name with 100,693 ppd, which is cool, but still... Stat whore needs his fix already! :D

Okay, I think I got this figured out, but before giving newegg even more of my money, I figured I'd ask here... I installed the WCG client last Monday, and got a BSOD on late last Wednesday - didn't think much of it, as I hadn't gotten one in years, and just rebooted, no problem. Next day I...

Okay, having had SWMBO gone for the past two weekends, I came to an interesting conclusion - every day she's at home and logs on/switches over to her account, I get an EUE shutdown within hours. While she was gone, I had multiple days in a row with no problems! So the most logical conclusion...

Okay, I've had my share of EUE errors and 24 hour limits, but when I got home from work today, I found a whole string of Early Unit Ends between two successful WU's - what gives? Here's an example from the log, FYI: [03:17:34] - Preparing to get new work unit... [03:17:34] + Attempting to...

Okay, so I finally got a 9600GSO and popped it in my boxen - when it's the only card in the system, it runs about 3600-3800ppd stock. Then I tried to put it in my 2nd slot, and keep my old 8600GT in the first slot, but it seems that the 86GT is limiting the 96GSO to about 1700ppd! I read...

Okay Gurus, as I'm trying to increase my PPD (and get rid of EUEs from my crappy 8600GT), I've came across a few questions I just can't seem to find via Google, Stanford's page or the folding wiki - so here goes: 1a) What exactly is the difference between the Deino and Mpich SMP clients? 1b) Is...

... and yes, I know they're pretty much the same thing, so I wanted to put it to the forum - My XFX 8600GT is an absolute POS, and can't fold for 24 hours w/o crashing (90+ temps UNDERCLOCKED to 450 core/stock shaders & memory), so for the price of getting a better heatsink/fan, I might as well...

Okay, here's the problem I'm having - I can run the GPU client (currently using 6.12 beta 8, will try beta 11 soon, did the same with beta 6) through 2-3 loops fine, then I get the following message in the log file: [17:03:32] Folding@home Core Shutdown: UNSTABLE_MACHINE [17:03:35] CoreStatus =...
