Re: XP auto restart & gpu display crash problems

We got it working tonight. We could not get the installer for the systray client to work this morning so we are using the console instead. Just as well, will never use the viewer again anyway. WRT the auto reboot issue, my wife (a system admin) found this in the event viewer file (from 3:07 AM): Res...

Re: XP auto restart & gpu display crash problems

goto: start->All programs->Folding@home-gpu->Folding@home data files-Expert only The cudart.dll should be there. By default that folder will not be included in any searches and therefore if that is how you tried to find it, then that is also probably why it didn't show up. That just opened up the w...

Re: XP auto restart & gpu display crash problems

cudart.dll should be in the same folder as the core, work folder, ect. I had windows change the display driver once. Update all my machines manually ever since. So this is installed by F@H?

XP auto restart & gpu display crash problems

I had a bad morning. Last night at 3:30 AM XP decided to automatically reboot after auto-installing updates. I lost the smp after it was at about 62%. :twisted: Don't let this happen to you: http://www.coderetard.com/2008/12/10/ho ... ws-update/ After logging into the computer again (and discovering...

Re: electrical usage taxes

Another sticking point is the valuation of your contribution. While it may cost you $100 to fold 1000 work units, the actual intrinsic value of the work unit donated to Stanford is next to nothing. And deducting nothing is still nothing. You are not donating electricity to stanford, so you can't de...

Re: electrical usage taxes

I know this is an old post, but I agree with spazzychalk. If you put a watt meter on the computer and use it only for folding, why not be able to use it as a tax deduction? When a computer has multiple GPU's with a fast processor the power draw can exceed 400W which could cost over $40 per month. Ma...
