I got into work this morning and was about to flush my dedicated SETI boxes. I went to the first and sent the 16 completed WU, went to the second (Celeron B @ 1.0) and it had 8 completed, clicked transmit and walked away to the next one. Got a call about 10 minutes later saying that there was a sound like a swarm of locusts coming from the server room. I naturally dropped what I was doing and high-tailed it. The Celeron machine was screaming in agony. It sounds like the hard drive completely crashed. The machine was blue-screened with a "Cannot Read from Drive C" error. I tried a re-boot but as soon as I turned it back on there was this horrific wail coming from the hard drive. I should be able to RMA the drive, but I don't know if the completed WU made it out or not. The machine was a back up for our label printing PC and it's only purpose at the time was crunching for the TeAm. 🙁
I should have an Athlon XP 1800+ on an A7N266 up and running later this week though. I'll need some OC advice once I get the stuff.
UPDATE: Seems it was just the hard drive that died. There are four missing completed WU buried in there 🙁 Anyway, drive is under warranty, RMA created and on it's way. Should be up and running as soon as Maxtor sends me the replacement! 😀
