Anyone else having issues with the win smp new beta since 1st Feb??

Have been running the win smp for ages now no hassle what so ever, however since installing the new winsmp beta on 2nd feb it's be very very inconsistant.

Basically seems to stop working at the merest little thing interupting it. It occasionally used to stop when my wireless connection went down but it now seems to be stopping after 5/6 frames all the time. Overnight last night again it's just stopped.:mad::mad:

No new overclocks or anything like that - it's not erroring but just stopping

Folding@Home Client Shutdown at user request.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

That's me having to shut it down this morning @ 7.43am cause i's just not running.
 
weird - will have a gander tonight again but really lost out on about 3 days folding now.

Will try a full uninstall/delete of all current files/work and reinstall and see if that works - if not off to try the standard units (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
 
I had trouble with the SMP client, rebuilt the machine and dropped the cpu clock by 100MHz and has been running fine for 3 days so far

fair enough - not sure what's happening but i've got 2 x 2gb of new ram to install and i "might" :eek::eek: have a go at this linux thing;)
 
cheers for that - i take it vmware is basically just like creating a virtual drive with linux on it??

As i write this at home again - completed about 4 frames on both smp clients and then for some unknown reason my wireless has dropped out and smp has stopped. Very strange as my wireless is rock solid stable and never drops connection until i start up the new beta and it starts losing signal/strength etc etc.

Will maybe go with some standard units in the mean time till i get a chance to sort out vmware/linux etc etc with a spare hour or so.

nightmare
 
well touching a large chunk of 4 x 2, all appears to be better. Did a fresh install of the new client and deleted the relevant WU's and started again and appears to be running more consistent now.
