Trusted,
Are you overclocking in anyway on your computer?? I recall I had some odd stuff happened to me long ago when I was expriementing with overclocking. Learned for guranteed results best to just run it stock and let the system do it's thing.. with the newer CPUs of today with multi cores and threads there is really no need to Overclock them despite their flexability being better then ever. just because a system boots and appears to be working ok does not mean all the timings are right depending the task at hand. |

choj01 - if you run the standard stability tests you can easily verify that your OC settings are working properly. I have OC'd my i7-920 from 2.66 to 3.933 ... raw GHz is the biggest factor in how much crunching a machine does. </ot> |

No, I have never seen a reason to overclock a computer. I think at 100% the CPU is working hard enough. Besides I wouldn't know how to overclock one!  However, I will be re-setting that PC so it will get WU's from this project next time it uploads and request more WU's.
