Or alternatively, a client for locating the person responsible for him leaving seti, and poke them in the eyes?

i would + this if i could

Well I cannot connect to it and I have just tried maybe ok for the US user but not us in the world.

How much air conditioning do you really need in Wisconsin?

My experience after 20+ years of spending summers with in-laws in the Madison WI area is:

1) Summer temperatures in the +90 F region are common, and +100 F is not unknown. "It helps the corn grow"

2) Air conditioning sometimes comes free and uninvited in the form of tornadoes.

I've been posting in the Lockup curiosity thread, but I wanted to start my own, since I've got apparantly idfferent issues than the OP of that one.

My AMD system is the one locking up, ad has been on and off for almost a month, though it's been doing it constantly since going enhanced. My Intel system seems totally unaffected.

Both are running XP Pro w/SP2, Zone Alarm Suite, and Spybot SD Resident.

By leaving my monitor on all night, I noticed this morning that the AMD isn't just ignoring input commands, it's totally locked up to the point that the system clock was frozen at 7:23PM. Check work units, nothing had completed since sometime yesterday, which would surely not be the case, normally.

As a control, I have run the computer overnight with BOINC & Seti shut down and everything was fine in the morning.

I then tried shutting down just BOINC manager, leaving boinc.exe & Seti running, and that locked things up, too.

I have not tried shutting off ZoneAlarm and leaving Boinc, etc. running, though.

I'm considering a complete reformat and reinstall, so any help or suggestions prior to that would be greatly appreciated.

So what's new in 5.15?

Mainly a bug-fix for Win9x timer problems, from what I gather.

I'm helping Kelly... This is her... friend.

Did anyone by any chance had your wireless router lock up on you and you had to unplug and replug to allow network activity to work within the last few hours?

I'm not sure if something is attacking our router or if it had some strange thing in correlation to this 5.15 SE app or if it was just dumb luck to correlate with this version update.

I think it's pure coincidental. I have a wireless router and I haven't seen anything like what you describe.

But maybe you should take a check on your firewall to see the log, and then run some antispyware programs, just to feel safe?

And believe me, there's nothing wrong with the 5.15 application, it has been tested out several days now over at Seti Beta.

Happy crunching. :-)

I don't think you should have any problems. In my experience I've also put a little more Arctic Silver than recommended, but I always made sure to put spread it to make a nice, even layer on top of the core. If you did that, you should be fine.
