What does that mean?

4) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : How do I get to see my results (Message 9304) Posted 14 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: I know this may be a dumb question but. . . My PC has been crunching away for seevral days, trickling stuff back and I'm sure this small contribution is worthwhile but how do I get to see the results, in some meaningful way? How do I know what my machine is calculating?

8) Questions and Answers : Windows : How do you merge computers (Message 8558) Posted 3 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: I seem to have registred my computer twice they are 95992 (which isn' doing anything) and 102101, which is. Is it necessary for me to merge them back into one (102101?). I have tried but the page where you are supposed to select the computers to merge doesn't have any entries
9) Questions and Answers : Windows : I cannot stop hadsm3m, my processor is glowing (Message 8488) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: Just for interest, doing "file -> exit" on the GUI when the application has been running for just a few minutes works so maybe theres a problem that builds up if the thing is left to run for a day or two?
10) Questions and Answers : Windows : W2000 Pro Freeze (Message 8479) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: I had something very similar to this. I'm blaming it on the drivers for the video card. In my case, the PC froze after about 10mins which was when the screen saver would have started. Having tried lots of things (processor tests etc) I found that the drivers for the video card were not up to date. I downloaded a new version and it has run fine ever since (I now can't stop it but that's another matter) I would be intrested to know what you get when you run "dxdiag" and go to the video tab to see if Directx is enabled. Hope this helps
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : I hope my results are getting back and this is worthwhile (Message 8470) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: My computer - 102101 - has been churning away flat out for a day or so (mainly because I can't stop the process, there's another message on this subject) It has completed some work about 10 hours ago, but my credit rating is still 0. How do i know if the results got back?
12) Questions and Answers : Windows : I cannot stop hadsm3m, my processor is glowing (Message 8468) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: I've tried everything suggested elsewhere in these boards. I've used suspend, exit, suspend then exit from the system tray and from the BOINC menu but still this process keeps going. When you use suspend from the BOINC File menu you get a message saying "suspending computation and network activity - user request" and it stays there and the processing does not stop Infact it enters a strange state, when you look at the job status on the work tab, its says Suspended(running) I guess I can't just kill it I'm going to get some more bread to make toast with my hot processor How do I stop this thing before I run out of bread?
13) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Locks up my PC After about 5 mins of running (Message 8467) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: This is the thing. I'm guessing that the screen saver uses directx (direct draw or direct3d or somesuch) My graphics driver was out of date and didn't have the windows hardare quality driver thing (WHQ?) DirectX DISABLES things like direct draw. I downloaded new drivers, installed them, DirectX automatically re-enabled itself and everything works fine now, apart from uploading results and credits and having two computers when there is only one.
14) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Locks up my PC After about 5 mins of running (Message 8370) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: Guys, Thanks for these hints and tips The processor is a 1GHz Athlan running at ~0.9 - 1GHz so I guess it isn't over clocked It has been running non-stop for about three days but not at 100%. The fans are working I downloaded and ran a CPU tester from zdnet which just ran for about 30mins (5 mins CPU heat up, 2 mins whetstone, 4 mins whetstone, 8 mins whetstone, 2 mins mmx , 2 mins whetstone etc) NO ERRORS There is no screen saver, the PC just switches the monitor off after 15 mins of no user activity Does BOINC interact with other running apps such as Apache or MySQL?

16) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Locks up my PC After about 5 mins of running (Message 8357) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by old_user44969 Post: I downloaded the climate prediction thing, started it off and it ran for about 5 minutes then it locked up the machine completely, only way to restart was to hit the reset button this is a 1GHz Athlon, 768MB RAM running Win2K Prof Why should it stop?
