Started over the weekend & has been as long as 2-3hrs before I can get a new WU. Anyone else having the same problem? Then a few more EEU's to put anothe dent in my ppd

Yes having the same problem, My 2 Video cards did not get a work unit for 6 hours last night cause of this.

Bummer

I guess I'm a little paranoid due to my recent coversion to Vista, possibilty that my internet connection is having problems again or that it might be uTorrent interfering & if it specific to me how to fix things. Oh well I've a WU now

hope its not an EEU

Interesting Senture.
Vista 64 2 weeks old card @ stock but riva tuner has upped fan from 32 to 60% dropping temp from 74 to 62C
Just had another 1 1/2 hrs without WU restarted client after 8 failures & on 4th attempt got a new WU

Thanks for the Rich - explains why I couldn't get WU's in the night.
Senture - are you using latest Netgear drivers or the optimised firmware?
I found an 834GT was better the my Be Box speedtouch 716.
Viking - on TV today, Xmas 57 days away

The problem I was getting I thought was due to my WG311 PCI WiFi adapter. Had no previous problems with the 3.1 drivers but both Server 2008 x64 and Vista SP1 x64 keep BSODing with this error: 0x0000007F tcpip.sys

Changed the drivers to 3.0, BSOD. 2.0, BSOD. Stock Windows driver, BSOD. Windows update driver, BSOD. Also tried every network driver for my onboard LAN on my GA-P35-DS4 I could find and it's decided to BSOD on each one

Hijack
Found this but I'm sure you have anyway

I gave up try to geta wireless adapter working with my brothers router.
Have you tried netgear tech support?

Back on track
Snapshot - maybe your right & its a mix of a victim of their own success & ltd prod of GPU wu's

Just had this

17:41:30] Folding@home Core Shutdown: UNSTABLE_MACHINE
[17:41:33] CoreStatus = 7A (122)
[17:41:33] Sending work to server
[17:41:33] Project: 5801 (Run 6, Clone 308, Gen 0)
[17:41:33] - Read packet limit of 540015616... Set to 524286976.
[17:41:33] - Error: Could not get length of results file work/wuresults_09.dat

Haven't o/ced my card - did drop the NB volts by 0.02

I think they under estimated the processing capacity "Just A Bit".

Love the understatement.

@ Viking - misery loves company.
Looks like it is not just me so I'll hold off adjusting my setting & see what tomorrow brings.
Can't upload 2 finished wu's either

Pilgrim57 · 29 Oct 2008 at 10:28

Before bed last night I checked all WU's had been uploaded then deleted the contents of the work folder & it started picking up new WU's
