Asteroids has stopped giving out GPU units to me, any reason why?

PDW · 21 Mar 2016 at 20:36

Server says it doesn't have any tasks to send, Andy has already posted on their forum about it.

cadmunkey · 21 Mar 2016 at 20:51

Ah ok, thanks for the headsup. I'll keep an eye on it.

Had to switch back to Poem

if anybody runs outa asteroids and wants to help me out, we way down in 50th spot to there, not good enough lol

PDW · 22 Mar 2016 at 14:32

Asteroids has plenty of jobs in the queue again so should be working now if you haven't already found this out !

cadmunkey · 22 Mar 2016 at 16:02

We're miles down the list in Asteroids, any projects we actually have a chance at?

you mean poem ,asteroids we started doing great in since you and andy with your titans joined in. asteroids does have more work now aswell.

I also allow my amd card do run moo wrapper, 6000 points per unit, I am plodding nicely and we wasn't even on the score board until recent but there is only really me who runs it 24.7 so will no longer take any more spots. with at least another person helping would would be capable of taking at least 2 more spots

. chris and texas do some work on it also but they don't run it all the time

dam just noticed that PC Perspective Killer Frogs are gaining on us! ill have to put a stop to that when they get to close with some more gpu power

Took delivery of a really expensive bag of Haribo today :eek:

Thank you whoever packed it, last 2 or maybe 3 packers failed big time

It's not for me but I will need to stress test the system before I hand it over

Not as good as Ba's monster but 8 cores of i7 goodness with an SSD should be an improvement on their 10 year old 2 core HP box

Strange, Boinc crashed for me during the night, my PC was just sat idle so it must have rebooted. Are there any error logs hiding away that I could check?

MGP · 24 Mar 2016 at 17:27

Was it Boinc that crashed, or did Windows decide it wanted an update?

cadmunkey · 24 Mar 2016 at 17:33

I haven't got automatic updates switched on, so doubt it was Windows. Only had Boinc running so I'll have a deeper look when I finish work for the day, cheers!

There are a load of std*.txt files in the BOINC folder (that contains the projects/slots folders). Some are just the normal logging files but some also record the errors.

cadmunkey · 26 Mar 2016 at 15:29

Turns out it was a windows crash judging by event manager. Worrying thing is its points towards a potential PSU issue so will need to keep an eye on it.

I've been waiting to catch some DNA work from CSG but it only has Subset work.

Looking at the FB table for CSG I could just do 20,000 points to move us up a place and get an extra 2 on our score, or I could just do 6,500 points for the Meister team to take them to first and knock TSBT off

Is the first rule of FB that there are no rules
