Folding: Broken into the top ten!

Featured Replies

Congrats Jason. I'd forgotten about the folding. I must check why my average is down lower than it used to be.

Well done Jason:thumbup:.

Do you have your machine running 24/7? SWMBO keeps turning mine off at night so I think my folding is suffering:mad:

I see I'm ticking away at #14. Again, only have one PC running on ye old folding :)

Not too bad I suppose, a reasonable performance - every little helps :thumbup:

Mine is going all the time. :) I've noticed that when left for longer periods though I come back and find that it comes up with an "insufficient system resources to complete this task" message, and this can be simply trying to open up a browser window. I always have to reboot it. Not sure what this could be as I have 1.75gig ram. Wish I could find out. I might have to turn down the folding to 85 or 90%

You running folding as a service Jase, or the GUI version?

It's just that I always run it the services way, whenever I have it running on machines, and I've never come across that message, even in systems running far less RAM than that...

What else have you got running at the time, and what's the indicated system load, through Task Manager? I presume you're running it on XP?

Well, system "load" is exacrly what I set the folding to - i.e 95%. I ran it as a service at 100% on my old machine, but I'm wondering if something else is creating even more load? Usually the client slows down to allow other processes, so I am surprised I get this message...

I'd just watch the processes tab, and see if there's anything else fighting FAH, on CPU usage. It could be that some other app is being less well behaved...

Steve

is the service significantly (if any) faster than the GUI version??

I would say it was Rob, because it doesn't have the graphical overhead to worry about. You also have the advantage that it's running basically as soon as Windows boots up. So say your PC sits at the login prompt for example, folding will be running in the background.

I have never seen this error message Jason, even on a pc running with just 512MB ram with the cpu running folding at 100%. Reducing its processing will make no difference. The problem you are seeing is most likely caused by a badly behaving old piece of software or duff driver. Chances are that even if folding was not running, and you left your pc on you will still get the error.

Hmmm

ive fired it up on my pundit bookshelf system... not sure how itll run, might have heat issues
