PS3 Help

I have a little problem. Tried to fold on the PS3 last night but it wouldn't start correctly.

Sequence of events

Checking for updates (5 secs)
Blank Screen

Thats it, never gets any further. Internet connection seems fine. Plays games fine and was working the night before. Just be looking on the Folding@home PS3 forum cant find any info about this problem.

The PS3 hasn't crashed because you can still access the quit menu but it looks like the client is looking for something??? or hanging

Anyone help?

There were reports of people being unable to upload completed work and things like that so it's probably just the servers overloaded

Must have been mate, working fine now.

Seems very good so far. It only gets run through the night but I have managed to get some more PC power in the day. Currently standing

My T60 1.8 C2D
My 6600 development machine soon to be upgraded to quad core.

Must say its very slow compared to Seti.

Slow in what way?

The types of calculation being done by SETI and F@H are vastly different from each other. Not to mention the size of the different WUs in each project.

Yes I realise its very different but I'm talking about the reward system.

Back in the old Seti days you could virtually stomp and fight in realtime. WU completed in hours not days.

No big deal really

Folding WUs are much much bigger and far more complex than SETI WUs. You are also helping mankind and not some nerds who are looking for a non-random beep in an infinite ocean of noise

LOL.

Its what ever floats your boat.
