Thanks for taking the time to type all that out, but this machine runs fine with other 7600 WUs.

I've read the other threads on this project and I'm reporting this one as "bad" so it can be removed. I'm showing a TPF of 2h35m on a Core i7...very slow. *********************** Log Started 2012-04-29T07:17:18Z *********************** 07:17:18:************************* Folding@home Client...

That's nice, too bad clients can't get any work from that server and are sitting idle.

Typical, "Not my problem." response.

Thx noprob for the link!

I added the -advmethods flag to the GPU3 systray client and restarted it and now it's doing a WU. Hopefully the original problem with the server gets cleared up.

My example was the "sinister, low road approach" some participants could take if given the opportunity. Much like you, if I I was given a way to pick my own flavor of WUs, I'd chose ones that heat up my GPU less thereby keeping the fan slower and quieter and still give me a decent PPD. My ...

I never spoke about cherry-picking. All I asked was that the servers themselves decide which WUs are best for which family of Cpus/gpus etc. Your initial post mentions the clients doing the selection, not the Stanford servers: First of all, many people around here have asked the Pande Team to progr...

If the Pande group allowed users to select whatever WU they wanted, everyone would pick the one that gives the most PPD on their hardware. That's human nature. To avoid that scenario, the client gives you a random WU from the pool of available WUs thereby giving each project the same amount of CPU r...

Another idea might be an overwhelmed power supply. Are all the components in the box getting enough juice? Figure out the wattage draws on everything and see if your power supply is maxed out.

According to this source from this morning, Nvidia Fermi will be launched at PAX 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday March 26, 2010 at 6pm http://www.legitreviews.com/news/7448/ Nvidia has a page up too describing their presentation at the date/time above: http://www.nvidia.com/object/paxeast.html

Sorry, I can't give more adequate feedback than what I posted above as I start/stopped the client so many times the logs are a mess and not easy to follow.

The correct way to stop the CPU client not installed as a service is: taskkill /F /IM Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe is the controlling program that starts the cores running. Stop that and you stop the cores. You don't really need to use the /T switch to stop the child process...

I've had a need for an app like this in the past as I manually shut down GPU folding to play TeamFortress2 and Borderlands. At one point I had to shut down the CPU client as well to play TeamFortress2 'cause the game crashed occasionally if the CPU client was running. They didn't play nice together ...

I had something like that happen to my webserver a while back. I ran rkhunter on my VPS and it found a worm I was able to eradicate fairly easily. Hopefully your server's issue is that easy to fix.

Lynis might also be a good thing to run: http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/lynis.html
