SETI@home News Vol. 116 (19/09/2010)

Thanks for that Mr Marine, yup i think its time for me to start and run on a smaller cache, completion times are all over the place, tried a clean install everything checks out except boinc grrrrrr. Will start to spread the work to other projects too, nowt from seti till they're sorted and milkyway seems to be as dead as a doornail too oh well...sigh.

Just went and checked my rig, your right :eek:, it does this from time to time.
Theres over 15k ready to send out, I reckon I will have some within the hour as the milkyway server tends to sort itself out :)

That will do nicely S'ah - ta very muchly..
 
Seti is probably responsible for Milkyway going slighty pear shaped with the extra workload.
I am beginning to wonder if this 3/4 day outage is worth all the trouble within the DC community.
Hopefully the new hardware will sort some of the issues out.

Edit: Apologies for having my cloak engaged, I dont want to end up being called miniyazz II ;)

Need £3k to get it alarmed, Taxed, Insured and MOT'd and then another couple of grand for RS2000 gearbox, wheels, roof, Remap, cam, engine mods and Exhaust manifold :D :D :D
 
Seems I don't need new SETI work as my HD has died I think. PC boots and it's there but after 15 mins or so it disappears and can't be seen in Dev Manager. I ran a SMART monitor thing on it and while it's there it reports no errors but disappears from that too when it goes on its holidays :(

Its probably worth trying to save (and then recover) what you've got on an external storage device before fixing/replacing your dead hdd though.......
 
Assuming no other changes (drivers, BIOS), that'll likely be either the motherboard, cable, or controller board on the hard disk. Of course, it could also be the PSU. Cheapest thing would be to swap the cable and use a different port on the motherboard (don't do the latter if you're using RAID).

However, Area 51 is correct - priority #1 is backup!
