My big cruncher is down again. Periodic shut downs. When I get time, will go through the logs to try and pinpoint the issue. Really don't want to reinstall OS but might have to do that. Looking at a AMD chip with same amount of threads, a lot of complaints about heat issues. How's everyone enjoying spring finally?

Installed Ubuntu to see if it still dies. If it does, then know its a hardware issue. If not, then my win7 pro is corrupt. Am hoping Ubuntu crunches a bit faster.

Well, that did not work so its a hardware issue. Most likely the PSU.

Thanks for the update. Its been a long time since i checked in. I live in Seattle area now. We pulled the UHaul from Texas to Seattle last summer. What a trip! It is a nice area and new places are always exciting. BTW, it does not rain as much as everyone thinks.

My folks made the drive from Ham Lake MN to Seattle to visit and take their granddaughter camping. They went to Mt. Rainer national park and she loved it. Now all she wants to do is go camping again.

Mother Nature is conspiring against me. With all the rain we have had lately, the water table here has been raised to the approximate level of about 1/2 inch(1.25cm) above the level of my basement floor. This has resulted in a stream of water across the floor over to my sump pump, which runs about every thirty seconds now. Luckily I do not have a finished basement (about a 100 year old house). I have moved everything off of the floor. Unfortunately, I have a couple of systems which reside in my basement. I will be shutting them down as soon as they finish the work units in their respective queues. It was a good place to have the machines, especially in the summer as the temperature of the basement stayed below 60F(16C) for most of the summer, due to the massive heat sink of the walls composed of poured concrete over granite blocks. Once I shut down the systems I will temporarily move them to a much dryer location, but I don't have the electrical circuits to run them in a different location. So, my output will diminish until the basement dries out. Hopefully we will get an extended period of dry weather to get the water table down again.
School will be ending at the end of next week, so that will free up some time, although I have been gradually cutting down on the volunteer time as the school year winds down. I have had a couple of substitute jobs in the past week, but only take them when I am really needed. If I wanted, I could have a substitute job almost every day due to the acute shortage of substitutes.
Hope everybody has a nice Memorial Day weekend and stays safe.
