folding DOES cause problems with your system!

i'm sitting here watching pearl harbor in powerDVD and every 5 minutes powerdvd.exe would fatal exception and crash out.

this IS with the service install. i stop the service and all is well.

hopefully this is an odd situation and won't happen to others.

Chances are your system is unstable.

my OC is about 100 below what this CPU should do and i'm running more voltage than needed. my memory timings are relaxed and i'm stable in prime and gromacs. temps right now are 28/38

Probably running too hot.

Nah, hes right. When I run folding and powerdvd, my powerdvd stutters and freezes. Once I turn folding off, all is well. ONLY IN POWERDVD THIS HAPPENS.

[nahmus]

ahhhh maybe that is the difference. I use winfastDVD.

So it's not Folding that causes problems, it's Power DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

/me starts a picket line in front of the software company that makes PDVD.

Yeah, PowerDVD and Folding do NOT mix - my audio got unbearably choppy when I was watching a film :(

Setting the priority of PowerDVD to Realtime helped, though.

[emericanchaos]

i love powerDVD though. how's winfast DVD? i've never tried it.

[nahmus]

I've never had a problem with it. It plays everything (DVD,SVCD) and it works well with TVtools for Nvidia. I play SVCD's on my pc and use the TV out to play it on my widescreen TV.

Uhhhh ...

There's some new, innovative hardware to solve this problem ... it's called a "DVD Player" - you hook it up to your TV. ;)

THE SERVICE INSTALL USES THE -ADVMEHTODS FLAG. STANFORD MAKES NO GUARUNTEES OF THE STABILITY OF WU'S YOU GET WHEN USING THIS FLAG.

[mjmnam]

use a different DVD player. like nVDVD or winfastDVD. i use winfastdvd, it....well it plays movies, what else do you need? i've never had any problem watching movies with f@h running

[dagamore]

i run the consol version, and watch dvd's on my pc all the time, the only effect i see is that it kills my folding time, like some times it add 30% if not more, while watching the dvd to my total time :(, but i get a nice clean picture and i do not notice any sound issues. but then i dont run it as a service, i run it just normaly, (it is in my start up menu)
