Sorry for the lack of notice but I seem to have stomped you during the night. Given the narrow margin between us and the bursty nature of SMP WUs I wouldn't be at all surprised if you unstomp yourselves during the day before I consolidate my position.

I suppose this was inevitable since my Quad is no longer crunching. 
It has been moved to a warmer room to be my games machine and I've found that now it can no longer fold reliably. The Bios is resisting any attempts to reduce the overclock. The motherboard indicator shows the indicator 'C1' locks up if I try and change the settings (powering off and on results in the old overclocked settings being used).

Not yet. Might give it a go at some point.
EDIT: The Overclocked settings seem to be the default settings. Tried clearing the CMOS twice but couldn't get the quad to run with anything but the overclocked settings.

I tried using the jumper and the so-called 'easy' option of the switch at the back. Whenever I tried to boot using the lower settings the motherboard would halt on 'C1' POST indicator - Memory Presence Test I believe.
Anyway I managed to solve the problem in a different way. I managed to get the old graphics card (the one which was failing) out of the old games computer (it had seemed to be stuck fast). So I've brought a new graphics card (Radeon X1950 Pro) and moved the old games machine back into my bedroom. I've moved the Quad back to the cooler front room and re-installed the Win SMP client so that it's back crunching again (it'll be interesting to see if my mucking about has affected the relability).
So hopefully my Average PPD will go back to its former level.
