:D We feel your pain Mr Reaver sah! Given any more thought to the gpu/power consumption possible upgrades thingummybobs ? I know you don't want to increase it anymore but there are 2 for sale in mm and no it's not me :)

Mr Marine is suspiciously quiet today, he's either organising the royal wedding barbecue or he's upto no good :eek::)

I must admit i have been mulling it over. The problem i'm having is the nagging feeling that the Q6600 or its motherboard (or worse both) are starting to give up the ghost as i get random shutdowns with no error logs to help narrow down the problem. This is making me think i should upgrade the board and processor first and see how things go on.
If the shutdowns were more regular it would be a no brainer but sometimes it'll go the best part of a month plus other times it'll be 1/2 a week :confused:

Strange goings on - a bit of advice without throwing stones in a greenhouse:confused:

Was streaming something through xbox/pc on to the tv, lost connection came into pc room to check it out. Machine was in the process of restarting, no sweat i thought just one of those things.
Once it had fully started up i clicked on the boinc do da to check see how other machine was doing, it was then i noticed in top right of screen after clicking "your account" in boinc that i was logged in as someone else :confused:
First reaction was to click log out and restart machine check and scan with anti virus and the like. Machine restarts ok go to "your account" from boinc and i am logged in as myself hmmm thats better i thought.
Then i realised the language was not in english but the language of a team we are rightly going to stomp in the not to distant future.
Am i just being neurotic or should i be looking for anything else that might be amiss?
Here ya go, or is that konichiwa :D

Now the really odd thing is the 'Members with credit' section is in english but both 'Active' and 'Total' sections are as above?
On the up side at least its not just you :p
