Newbee with startup troubles

wdeep4 · Jul 5, 2004

I'm just getting started with folding this morning for the first time. I tried to get 2 clients running at the same time (I have a P4 hyper thingie). But my rig keeps freezing up after running 15 - 30 seconds. So at the moment, I backed up to just 1 client and for the first few minutes, things seem to be ok... Comments? Suggestions? Thanks.

are you overclocked?
if you are just bring it down a bit and make sure to test with stresscpu and prime 95.

Yes. But the o/c is only 10 percent. I already tried bumping up vcore, but it didn't help. I'll try what you suggested after my next boot. 10 percent should be a walk in the park. I haven't had any other real problems until now. Oh, well. Maybe this particular chip just sucks...

I have a dirt cheap pos Celeron that does a 25 percent o/c stable as granite with a stock hs/fan. Go figure...

you backed up to just 1 client..? on a celeron you should only be running 1 to begin with..

Xenocide, read the first post bro, it says he has a P4 with Hyper Threading and taht his Celeron rig is stable as a rock with a 25 percent OC whereas his P4 isn't.

As stated before, test out your configuration with Prime95 and memtest and make sure that your hyper threading is activated and so on; however, I also think there are some stability issues.

OK, I dropped the FSB back just a bit and cranked up 2 clients again. Let's see what happens...

Have you also added the -LOCAL flag to both clients? ... and installed them in different directories?

stan03 · Jul 5, 2004

have you tried using the one click installer?

Andyman902042 · Jul 5, 2004

You're not using the graphical client are you? You have to use the console client. Just uninstall what you currently have and run the dually one-click

I didn't know about the local flag. But they are in different directories. I'll try that.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm using the "console" client. Didn't know about the one click thing. I just did the whole install twice, into each of two different folders.

Ok, I just deleted everything I had and then re-installed using the OC-NOADV-Dually installer. Was that the right thing to do? Will I also have to make any registry changes?

That should get you going fine, with no changes to the registry neccessary.

are you stable now?

Me or my pc? lol

Sorry, I just thought that was a little funny.

Yes, sort of. I've had one client running for a few hours now with no problems. But I haven't tried two at the same time again yet. Was going to wait until later before I went to bed. I'll keep you posted!
