Ran into this problem about a month ago where while SETI was running it would essentially 'LOCK' my computer and anything but most noticably IE would stop responding for 3-10 seconds. I have tried various things to try and correct it. First I thought it was my PS cause it's voltages were jumping around alot until it died but I replaced it with a 550w PS and the thing is stable as a rock, so no luck. I've triend unistalling/reinstalling/reinitializing seti (using setidriver latest release) with setispy to check stats. I've tried running the CLI by itself without setidriver but to no avail. I'm running 2k pro spk3 and didn't notice any change until i upgraded to spk3. I have tried tweaking my services but nothing seems to help. I also have a 2nd machine with 2k pro spk3 on which works fine.
Does this problem ever happen to anyone else? I did try one thing that seemed to work, I set both IE and seti cli to 'normal' thread priority and it no longer hangs IE, however it greatly degrades performance. I also have my 2 machines behind a firewall on a router but it just doesn't seem like anythings wrong. I'm asking before I go ahead and reinstall my OS to get rid of this damned bug.
