I discovered Friday that the folding client was not folding but had paused itself for 24 hours. It had tried unsuccessfully to start and run multiple times but to no avail.

One of the things it said in the log was UNSTABLE MACHINE.

THAT points fingers right at the power supply. And, come to think of it, until I changed that supply here at home with that same GTX 460, I was having trouble here as well.

Soooo, I am thinking since I am not generating points from that spare machine that it likely errored out again and has not restarted.

I'll find out tomorrow.

It was indeed the power supply. As soon as I powered up with the other power supply I brought from home which is a little stronger than this one anyway, the GPU took right off in the folding client 6.41 and is running at 77 degrees and every setting I have just at the default for the GTX 460 card.

It is running about 15,000 PPD
according to FAH Spy.

I tried the SMP folding but they gave me some crappy work unit to get 72 PPD and I just shut it down.

I have no idea WHY they do things like that. It was a work unit or project 7200 and it was an A4 core.

I guess I won't be SMP folding on that core 2 duo.

I did get my one at home working again properly so I have two SMP folders going and the weakest processor is not.

Hopefully the GPU folding on that spare office machine will work like a smooth running motor for us.

I still may eventually acquire that power supply I found. Need a SPARE backup power supply always and THAT is a dandy for under $80.00

It would be a waste to not run multiple video cards on it though.Hmmmmmm. Nah. Mrs. micro would kill me on the spot. lol!!!!!!!

Better wait and see what the doc says in awhile.

I am off and out of here.

Catch you guys later.

micro.... Very Happy
