i cant go any higher then 11th......need more computers

I&#39;ll be 4th within the next day or two

88 points in it

are you going for 3rd? [/b][/quote]
Well, yourself and IC have three CPUs; I know yours are slightly better than mine, and I don&#39;t know about IC but he seems to do well, so I&#39;ll be hard pressed to catch up with you. I&#39;ll overtake Clocker at some point though

[Livy]

yeah, clockers pretty sklow at the mo, but i was finding it hard to ctach up with him. hes only slow the now as hes working on sprocket, and now its sprockette i think.

i may be looking into running my 2500 overclocked, when i look into better cooling, and maybe a mobo upgrade, as mine doesnt support vcore changes.

do you use the -forceSSE switch on ur amd machines?

I don&#39;t know what&#39;s happening recently, but FAH is screwing my machines.

I did a full reinstall of XP on my newest machine, now it usually hangs after a few minutes with FAH. It isn&#39;t overclocked or anything. If I start FAH and then stop it, it still hangs after a while. But if I never start FAH then it doesn&#39;t hang.

My old machine has run for 2 years without hanging. I installed Linux on it the day before yesterday. If I run FAH it hangs within an hour, even if FAH has been cancelled. Without running FAH, it has been up for 30 hours.

Something has obviously happened with the type of projects I am currently receiving (which may have changed because of the reinstallation?), because I never had hanging problems before. I&#39;ll keep trying new projects occasionally, but until these problems go away, sadly, I can no longer commit my machines permanently.

I know it doesn&#39;t help, but Rocktron and I both had similar problems. They started last Thursday.

I had serious problems with a WU from project 524,
locked up the machine 3 times in a row, every time restarting at 0/500
Deleting the work-folder doesn&#39;t help as the F@H servers just hand out the same WU over and over again.

As a temp solution I made a backup of my WU several times a day using WinZip.
Shutdown F@H first before zipping it, as F@H writes "shutdown in a normal way" to disk.
Failure to do so (as in a lockup) will restart your WU @ 0/500 when you use the backed up files.

Now what is the cause?
The only thing I can think of:
I used a proggy "CWShredder" mentioned here on the forum. Could it be we all used the same proggy?

This feedback probably will not help you very much,...but I have also "folded" one 524...but I have not suffered any freeze-up at all...

[kAb]

(i turn computer off at night, and only have it on from 2-8 in the afternoon.

You probably picked up a &#39;Tinker&#39; kAb. (check your logfile)

Also most starters got a 71 pointer, so yours probably is one too.

A 71 pointer gives you a nice start&#33; B)

Fold on&#33;

[Livy]

stupid tinkers, take ages.

[kAb]

huh. well i also forgot to add gromacs before i started. so my next one should have gromacs right?
