well i had to instances of stresscpu running and for some reason decided to go into the nvidia properties and instant lockup. i rebooted and went in and disabled the second display started up stresscpu again and could go in and out of the properties as much as i wanted. without any problems. so...
UPDATE
Well after countless hours of pounding(with a 12lb. maul) lubing with KY jelly and thrusting of a Motherboard i have found my issue which appears to be a bum 7800gtx it does not like having dual displays enabled. It causes lock ups, random reboots and what not so i disabled one display...
UPDATE
ran stresscpu on both cores for 8 and 1/2 hours without a hitch going to test sandra now if that makes it then im lost as to why it wont fold.
thanks again!!

Box never hibernates and it does not matter if you are working(surfing net) or just letting it sit and fold hits the hour mark and reboots post and loads windows. on a side note If i load only one client it will fold for days without issue. you want the previous for both clients correct? ill pop...
yes different folders both have machine ID set correctly and its the Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista "No nonsense" text-only console. what gets me is my AMD 3800X2 did this just fine running both cores but this intel sucks sofar.
Hello all havent posted in a awhile but have been folding steady. Anywho....
I recently purchased a E6300 and have stressed it with 2 instances of prime for 36+ hours without an issue but when i run 2 instances of folding on it it reboots after an hour. so what gives?? temps are lower...
i have the same problem. the geeksquad software looks just like cyberpowers powerpanel plus but is severly crippled(only displays time left no voltagaes) comepare to cyberpowers.
not really limiting just never heard of the brand your suggesting if they are reliable and have a decent warranty i will consider them also.
any other thoughts?
OK i have read the buyers thread and researched a bit. So i have come down to two PSU's
OCZ 850W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817341003
or
PC P&C 750 silencer QUAD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817703008
i will be running an E6300...
I currently have a XFX 7800 GTX 256meg (490*1300 clocks). so here is the dumb question can i combine a 7800gtx with a 7900gt or gtx or would i be better off just upgrading to an other 7800 gtx 256?? and running sli i have the mobo and the psu big enough for it.
thanks in advance.

ok so the EB with its big price tag is worth the price? if it can hit 300 @ decent timings then i guess it is. i could careless about benchmarks its my gaming performance that matters the most. especially since i now have FEAR and Q4 and good old BF2 sitting at home waiting for me to get home...
OK my current setup is listed below and i'm looking to jump to 2gigs of ram. this is where i get lost since i want my new ram to run close to or better than my current ram.

OT sorry for the small thread steal here:
if you remove the heatsink and replace the thermal goo with AS5 and put the stock heatsink back on does that void the XFX warranty? and if it does not has anyone done so and where the results good?
thanks(sorry again for the steal)

Well i tried the set affinity but for whatever reason the Game.exe file for diablo says access denied when i try to set affinity. Odd considering all other programs allow me to set affinity. :(
ill look for the setting in BF2 after work today. I guess i will have to con my wife into letting...
ok just finished running 3dmark05 score of 8409 this is with the 78.11's for video drivers and the cards default speeds(490 and 1300).
all power connections are good. and i already have defragged that was my first thought when i had this problem in the begining.
thanks for the help so far i...
yes i clean out the old before a new driver install. what would cause the card to think its 2d when im in a 3d app?
nothing is running when i launch BF2 straight off a reboot. yes it hits the disk to load lvls not a lot once a map is loaded. i know 2 gigs helps but that is not in the budget...
yes sir its in direct 3d i did notice that the core speed when the game launches is 490 and once im actually in a game on Bnet the gpu slows down to 2d speed (275) i found that very odd. :s
also i do have the 78.11's in and still having the same problems :(
any thoughts?
ok i can see the need for 2 gig for BF2 but diablo 2 thats not the issue i will try the 78.11's per your suggestion. But diablo 2 used to be butter smooth on a pos 9800xt and a mobile barton. the new rig should not run a diablo poorly it is a 5 year old game after all, and it is the game i play...
ok i just setup a new rig
stats:
Athlon64x2 3800 @2.5ghz(yes its prime stable)
XFX 7800GTX OC (490 & 1300)
DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR

here is my problem in any game i play im getting what i...
well i never have been called saucy, thats a new one but COOL we are all just tryin to find our digital way.
thanks for your help. hope we can carry on :)
yes the task manager does that but im looking for one that will set affinity automatically everytime the program starts and/or restarts one of its processes (ie folding@home. the client keeps running but the cores stop and start{and change to another folding core} and everytime a new unit starts...
I do not want to have to sit infront of my pc and constantly set affinity that is Y i asked for a program that would set affinity to either core of my choosing. oh well guess im out of luck
I was not using folding as my stablity test. i ran 2 instances of prime95 for that. with much success:)
simply setting folding as machine id# if fine and dandy BUT everytime a core starts and stops it is set to run affinity CPU 0 and CPU 1 and if you watch the task manager you can see it...
Im curious what voltage are you pumping to the cpu? I see that cpuz is reporting it @ 1.536 but what is your bios set to? i have the DFI UT SLI-DR and currently i have my week 28 - 3800X2 @2.4ghz (1.4v) but im running stock cooling till my XP90 gets here. looking forward to pushing it to the...
i was looking at getting a 7800GTX earlier this week and now with the 7800GT out my mind is playin tricks on me. i am upgrading my whole system currently. here is the parts list please let me know what your thoughts are for video card choice now.
New parts:
A64 3800X2
DFI UT lanparty SLI-DR...
normal my old stuff slides down hill. so i will be moving my current 9800xt into my server and putting the 7800 in my gaming rig which is being upgraded to a A64 3800X2 and a dfi UT SLI-DR
anyone else have any thoughts?

So who makes the best card?
The eVGA and XFX are clocked @490/1300 compared to the BFG's 460/1300 and i can get the XFX for $530 compared to the eVGA's $580 and BFG's $560ish
now eVGA and BFG have lifetime warranties compared to the XFX's 2 year but ill upgrade in 2 per my normal cycle...
thanks for the heads up on eVGA i will give it a look it is $50 cheaper than the BFG so thats cool.
I forgot to ask in my first post will this be/feel like a major upgrade for me? since the new setup is slower by 500 mhz but is 64 bit and dual cpus. i know that in the video card department...
Which DFI mobo? and how well are they setup compared to asus and abit? i will be needing good onboard audio also as im spoiled by the soundstorm on my current rig. :p
And that card was 559 @ the Egg cheaper would be better any hints where its cheaper i really only shop the egg but if i can...
So im finally upgrading from my Abit NF7-rev 2 & Athlon Xp-M 2500 that is runing at 2.5ghz and looking to step up in the world in performance. with that i give you my purchase list
1. Athlon 64X2 3800+
2. ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
3. BFG 7800GTX
4. heat sink choice not sure yet. have used...
