Re: My fan is on even when it's set to low.

Sorry, it's been so hot here, I just come home from work and melt. Is this the right part of the log? I don't understand the part about how to turn it down or have it do less work. I also have 2 more times set it to finish and quit, but I guess I'm doing something wrong, it hasn't. Could I have goof...

Re: My fan is on even when it's set to low.

No I'm folding with the cpu and the gpu. I'd love to put a new fan in, but I don't have a tower and my laptop is a couple weeks old, I haven't worked on much for years and I'm not ready to tear it apart... Where can I pull up the info you posted?

My fan is on even when it's set to low.

How do I fix it? I've downloaded new video drivers and I have the speed set to low. Yet once it's run for a minute or so the fans are on. :e?:

TIA

Re: I have to restart my computer will I lose the current wo

I wish we had rain storms here, when we do, there's seldom any lightening. I just have a laptop now. Back in the day I did UD, United Computing looking for a cancer cure. I had 5 boxes I built for the project. It was fun, and I was sorry to see it end. :) Thanks again for your excellent advice. :) B...

I have to restart my computer will I lose the current work ?

I need to install a windows update. Can I stop or pause folding? If I do will I lose my work? If I can stop and restart, how do I do that?
