Your problem with reliability is likely not so much the manufacturer of the MB but rather the amateur anti-static procedures that were used when the machine was built. Even one totally invisible spark can massively damage the lifespan of whatever electronics were touched without anyone ever...

You'll get to the create partition section; If there is no partition, and you continue it will say it can't create a partition or find a valid partition and die. If you create a partition and format it then continue, it will do so and then die saying it can not find or create a partition on...

In this process, I discovered something I hadn't run into before. Do not try to install Windows on a machine that has a micro-thumb drive plugged in.

I do not wish to belittle your issue. Sorry, you are going through your personal health issues. It's never fair but it must be endured, mainly because the alternative is unthinkable.

My view is that a computer that currently does a job well, in a business environment, shouldn't be fiddled with excessively and that includes the OS. That does not mean that improvements should not be examined or implemented nor should one have a blind-eye to potential failure modes and...

The NaCl server is down for maintenance. ETA sometime late tonight or early tomorrow (Fri). https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=25991#p260701

That only works if you have a working OS to start. I'm working with a blank HD. Upgrades won't install.

So far, its all been a big pain. All the Win7 links tried have been upgrade only ISO's. I have to install XP/Vista just so I can install Win7 then run the Win 8 upgrade and then run 8.1 upgrade.

Try clearing your browser's cache. It's worked for me in similar situations.

They are crediting for back data now.

A couple of high end video cards can easily make up for my loss. Handruin is likely to more than make up what is lost from my actions when he switches back from mining to folding.

I posted in the foldingforums about EOC: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=25970

My PPD is going to permanently drop significantly. I've agreed to give a bunch of my surplus machines away to nieces and nephews so that they can game with them (i.e. using the games off my steam account). Their parents do not have the money to buy their own machines and this is really just an...

I agree, it is hard to justify a 4+ day prune and that something else is likely to have happened.

Thanks, that's useful.

Somehow all my Win8 and Win7 media has gone missing. I have no idea where they disappeared to or who took them. Anyone have links to ISO's for x32 and x64, OEM and Retail, of the different flavors (Pro, basic, home, business, ultimate, etc.) and service packs that I can DL? I don't need keys...

making cookies today: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fooddrink/a/cookie_recipe.htm It may be an urban myth. Regardless, it still makes darn good cookies especially if you double the chocolate.

That is the definition of a side-effect/complication.

Depending upon the proxy server, it could also be looking at the application layer and filtering based on that...

Coug, One thing I'd be interested in is what kind of PPD one of your super-servers get on the Chrome-app as opposed to bigadv.

The Native client a is very new (and relatively buggy) feature in Chrome. The open-source Chrome(ium) look-a-likes are much less likely to be up to date and work properly than current Google versions.

According to the message they put on their web site they are pruning old historical data from their database. It takes a Long time and the stats won't be up till it is done.

You effectively can't run folding without internet access. However, you can run FAHBench for GPU stress testing but it won't give out any points.

Do not use the beta version of Chrome, unless you have a desperate need to keep the folding app tab primary focus and never shrink chrome to the desktop. Seems Google added a new "feature" with NaCl where it will not restart unless Chrome and the specific app has primary focus. I am keeping an...

You can now share your Steam library with others (5 steam accounts, 10 computers) so they can play your games, when you are not playing them. http://techreport.com/news/26104/steam-library-sharing-out-of-beta-available-to-all

I've had good luck in previous difficult cloning/backup instances by making a Mirror (Raid-1), then breaking the mirror and fixing the Windows boot configuration to then permanently default to boot to the mirror.

This is what I get as normal DEBUG: NaCl module loading main.js:72DEBUG: Status: downloading: Downloading the Folding@home software in your Web browser. On your first visit this can take awhile. main.js:72 DEBUG: load progress: 0.0% (0 of 18000000 bytes) main.js:72 DEBUG: load progress: 0.0%...

Do you have a something (Firewall, router, proxy server, security suite) preventing internet access?

I won't disagree Merc. A Notebook drive is a better choice for noise.

I don't know but you can use F12 key to open the debug log and the click refresh in the browser to see what is going on under the hood. I'd look at it if you copy& paste it then post it but you should edit it to remove the passkey from any references before posting because it will be readable...

My assumption is that if you apply some pressure while the glue is setting that everything will stay in place, hopefully forever since not all glues are easy to reapply after failure.

You are proving the whole purpose of the Chrome NaCl app is a valid premise.

I can't commit PG on time-line for a prospective feature, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't eventually get there much sooner than later. If for no other reason than this is totally open-source with the source code available to all. If Stanford doesn't add that feature, then someone else...

I've run the client on 5 different machines using 4 different Windows OS's over two weeks and not had a single crash and none of the other Alpha testers reported issues such as you are describing. I did have one instance of the App failing to install the first time but it worked later after I...

Just as a side thing, there are utilities (very often attached to the Diagnostic utility from the manufacturer) that would configure a drive for performance or quiet mode. The default tends to be for performance. So, if you want to do a little extra effort, you may be able to downgrade the...

AV HD's are designed for streaming (not noise abatement). They are designed so that their caches produces fewer pauses while streaming high definition video. With simple music listening I wouldn't bother with the additional cost of an AV drive. The higher the RPM's and the faster the seeks...

Personally, I do not see where you get much additional speed from using spaning mode. My preference for making a huge drive is to organize the file system so it splits the data reasonably and the mount multiple drive(s) into a folder(s) rather than a drive letter. I recognize that there are...

That subtle issue stinks of a software patent where Sun has rights but after it forked those rights went away.

The only time I "skin" windows is when using a KVM and I want to easily figure out what machine is the focus and even there my limit is background color. I try to keep my desktop very simple. I have met many consumers that care a lot about their individual Windows theme though. Especially...

You asked it if was acceptable, not if more reliable than raid-0. I like SSD's and for many uses I will agree that they are likely more reliable. That being said, spandex mode creates a multiple drive dependent situation where if any one of multiple SSD's fail you will lose data and that is...

Windows! The file system does not like it if a big chunk disappears. So, just like Raid-o, if a drive fails in spandex mode then you are likely to lose most if not all data.

oogle maps is just google earth filtered to remove anything that can't be seen through a window. It is the ultimate Windows experience for peeping toms. For them, the terrain is perfect.

They tested far more devices, this list only contains the top 150. I don't know, but perhaps if you use some Google-Fu you might find the complete list.

You can run Chrome on XP and Win8. I'm doing it right now an an XP-Pro (x64 version) as well as Win8.1.

If you separate the two functions of scanning and printing, you can easily get much smaller by getting a portable printer and scanner designed for notebook use. Combining the functions effectively forces a flatbed scanner attached to the printer and that limits the minimum size. Separating...

To my knowledge, you can't yet boot from a PCI-e sSSD.
