I am just wondering if there is something wrong with this computer as the 2 APs that were crunched on the CPU both came up invalid.

Generally CPU APs are a rarity on my systems and the worst part is that I am leaving for a week this morning. I will try and see what you advise me while I am away as I will be checking by remote if there is enough bandwidth where I will be staying.

The first thing I noticed is that both of your results state Found 30 single pulses and 30 repeating pulses, exiting.
Where the results for the other hosts did not have 30/30 signals.
They found
single pulses: 6 repetitive pulses: 1
and
single pulses: 5 repetitive pulses: 0
for the two workunits tasks.

It looks like your host isn't returning good results. Often this can be from a thermal issue or overclocking.

I noticed the results as well. I do not overclock and the CPU is running at 50-60C. Did you see that other one that I aborted.....it kept restarting on me and I thought I had tried enough.

Thanks
