Hey, it's the weekend so donuts must be putting out fires somewhere. (figuratively not literally)
4p was only showing 60-75% processor usage yesterday. Reboots were only a temporary fix as within a couple hours it would drop back down.
ending up re-installing BOINC, and that seems to have fixed it.
i5 had the chip yanked out, replaced with an i7 I pick up off flea-bay. Currently priming @3.5, took voltage to get it to that... oh well, it does have HT.
9550 randomly shut down about 4:30 am. Even in safe mode, while running a disk check, it would shut down. (yes, I was awake.) 3 passes of memtest complete so far, though I believe that a HDD swap and Windows re-install is in my future...
If so, that's 4 dead drives and 2 that are not long for the world, In how many weeks??
Cost of running antique hardware.
Edit: about 8:15pm. 4p still dropping cores, just not as quick. i7 running. I've forgotten what a joy it is to re-install Windows... (ugh, that one back up and running.)
