Re: Low power video card

Re: To Hell in a hand basket

Well this machine is just plain old jacked! I have done everything I can possibly think of except for reformatting the HD. Which is most likely the cure for my issue I do believe. There seems to be a conflict with something program wise and I cannot figure it out. I have went back to the basics on t...

Re: To Hell in a hand basket

Well, I have determined that this machine just does not like Ibercivis. I can run any other BOINC project without an issue. The moment I try to run Ibercivis, everything goes to hell in a hand basket. I even tried 1 task, no dice.

Re: To Hell in a hand basket

Try taking the whole thing outside and pressure washing it with bleach additive, could have caught corona virus. I was thinking more in the lines of a big hammer. :x Although I might have solved it hopefully. Uninstalled and reinstalled GPUS drivers after a reboot with ckdisc (or whatever the cmd i...

Re: To Hell in a hand basket

How old is that PSU? 6 years if I looked up the correct one. EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 Power Supply Purchase Date: 11/11/2014 EDIT: I do have a BNIB 850 that will work in this machine. I had the same thoughts about the PSU, but that shouldn't have any affect on restart or shut down times. ( I wouldn't...

Re: To Hell in a hand basket

Could the system have been out of memory when you encountered it unresponsive in the morning? I wouldn't think so, It had 64gb but I had to remove a bad stick (weeks ago) so it's at 56gb now. I was running Amicable and Ibercivis with only 50% threads in preferences.(6850k) IIRC it was only using 42...

To Hell in a hand basket

Well my daily machine has went to hell in a hand basket overnight. System was pretty much unresponsive this morning, FF wouldn't load, BOINC appeared frozen but GPU fans were running and compensating for change in temps. I suspended BOINC, closed it and hit restart (Win10 machine) Restart page comes...
