    Dead/dying Antec NeoPower 480?

    I talked with Antec, and they decided that the best way to deal with this is to just RMA the power supply, before I actually caused any harm to my other parts. Once I received the replacement, I had no problems.

    UD Weirdnes..

    I think it's ridiculous that they are prompting for usernames/passwords again. I certainly won't be able to get everyone back on... most of them were installed several years ago, and I don't even know who owns the computers now. Oh well, their loss I guess.

    Hey, thanks Kenazo! I clearly need to get after VMWare so that I can run my main cruncher again!

    UD Stats update

    Hey, how's it going BornStar? Glad to see people are still actively recruiting! I'm adding people approximately as fast as people are reformatting and removing UD from their computers (people I sold computers to a while ago), so my production isn't changing much ;) I'm still around, but I'm...

    UD Stats update

    Woo hoo, I'll be breaking 3M team points pretty soon! I probably won't be around for it (exams), so I'll celebrate early :D In other news, my Antec NeoPower 480 power supply gave out after only 6 months in my main box, so the cruncher that scores over 160 in VMWare will be down for a bit...

    Dead/dying Antec NeoPower 480?

    Yeah, I thought about this, but it shuts down within half a second of turning it on, even when the box has been cold for hours. There is good heatsink contact, so I can't imagine it overheating that fast.

    Dead/dying Antec NeoPower 480?

    Note: When I mentioned smoke and burning smells, that was a totallly different instance, a totally different computer, and a totally different set of circumstances. I don't want to repeat this with my computer! Note2: I work at a computer helpdesk. I have years of experience troubleshooting...

    Dead/dying Antec NeoPower 480?

    Hey, figure that this is a good place to try to figure out what's wrong with my box. I bought an Antec NeoPower 480 power supply for my computer about 6 months ago. It has been rock solid up to this point. I was doing some misc. computer work today (DVD-RW firmware flashes, mobo flash...

    I would assume that it came from Rosetta WUs all coming in at once... the two days after I still scored > 8000 points per day, though! I did upgrade my main computer so that I can dedicate 768 MB ram to the VMware XP image. This means my virtual computer scores 168 now ;)

    Not sure if I'm ramping up or if it's just randomness in the results. I have been fixing a some of my UD boxes recently, but I'm not sure how long all of them have been down for, or whether any of them are down again now... The server's vmware is back up, and my laptop is running about 12...

    Anybody notice the new UD client?

    Yeah, it's a really cool client, actually, and the graphs provide something to watch when you're really bored ;) If only the WUs didn't take quite as long... the last one took 30 hours on my P-m 1.5 GHz.

    Yay, I passed 2M points for the team a couple of days ago! Didn't notice because I had no computers up to see it :P I've got my HTPC running, though, so I'm on the internet at least... and crunching ;)

    Well, my laptop's down while it's in the shop for ram replacement. My desktop/server's down while I RMA the motherboard because it's flaky. Well, it will be down once I write this comment and turn it off. My HTPC is down because I am rebuilding it. So I have *no* computers of my own...

    Congrats Velcro on the amazingly quick 1M milestone! You'll be caught up to me before you know it! And thanks, as always, to CyGoR for the stats. My laptop's in for service at the moment (damn memory recall), so my numbers are down a bit, but I should be back to full strength sometime...

    Intel releases P4 3.8

    I'm running the original Pentium M (not even Dothan) in my laptop. It has SSE and SSE2 already. I don't think SSE3 is really all that useful, and with only Prescott supporting it so far, it won't be a requirement for running applications for quite some time. I just know that my P-M 1.5 GHz...

    They update once a day. I believe they take a snapshot of the stats at a certain time every day, and then crunch them for several hours before the stats that you see on the website appear.

    Congrats LarryO! My production is doing to drop pretty severely... I upgraded to an Athlon 64 3500+ over the weekend, and installed x86_64 gentoo on it. The problem is that vmware now won't work properly... every time I launch it, it reboots my entire system. So I'm losing a machine that...

    Linux servers, a personal rant

    Bah, Gentoo's great. It did take me a couple of days to install (compiling everything from scratch does that to you), but now that it's set up, portage is the best package management system available, hands down. My system is totally up to date (I run ~x86), and things seldom (if ever) break...
