My SMP client's having a spot of bother finding an appropriate server. Was doing this earlier and spontaneously resolved after 30-45 mins of trying. Now is doing it again :(

Anyone else got this problem?

Specifics:

Code: 
                       Folding@Home Client Version 6.29

                          http://folding.stanford.edu

Been doing this for about 15 mins now. Tried restarting client, can't be doing with restarting computer, got revision to do too so may just ignore it.

Switch to bigadv then you only have to worry about an outage every few days. Just don't let the damn thing crash. :)

The observant reader would notice that the logs posted by myself and Mattus both showed us to currently be using 4GB RAM ;)


I heard my computer get an SMP WU while drifting off to sleep last night :D
The added load on the PSU makes the fan kick in a bit more, I'm starting to get pretty close to its rated capacity with i7+3 graphics cards, and its 850W 'cause I bought roughly double what I thought I needed a couple of years ago, for futureproofing :(

Well had a quick game of assassins creed 2 and restarted it and its got something now i hope it will carry on as i am going to sleep fed up with babysitting my rig at the moment hence the slight drop in output :(

I wondered what was going on there but noticed it wasn't dead as you were still dumping the odd WU. On the plus side that means I'm back on your radar, and all things being well, I should remain on it once you return to form :D
 
I just got back and am currently folding.. but checking the logs briefly, it was a 30min wait for this one :(

Also I'm about to have some downtime, just as my average PPD was picking up :rolleyes:
Got to send off all three RAM sticks to OCZ apparently :(
It could be some time, the RMA address being on the continent, I might have to try and buy a single stick or something just to keep me running, if I can find one going cheap somewhere, but I'll be down for a few days at least.

The stakes are increasing, we're up to 19% now ;)

I really need to tidy this place up, that might take as long as half an hour (~10%), after that I'm unplugging my computer. Tick tock, tick tock :p
