Right? This one was about 30% complete according to BOINC when it failed on me overnight. Thanks, Team Starfire World BOINC ID: 27971 · Reply Quote

To find out which of the two it was (PC or model), run Prime95\'s torture test for around 24 hours. If it passes, that indicates that the PC was stable, and the problem lies with the model. What I find a little odd is the change in the speed of the model recently, from 1.425s/ts to 1.53 at the most recent trickle, which is often a sign of PC instability (or, alternatively, that the model is running on a different PC to the one it started on). I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ ID: 27975 · Reply Quote

Yes, I had to move the model from one PC to another when I lost a cruncher. That is why you see the change. Thanks Mike, I will try the torture test. -Sangamon ID: 27982 · Reply Quote
