I rebooted now and GPU folding started and shut back down in about 2 min. I tried to restart the service manually, which started the client, but no folding??? I am having to run it manually.
As far as keeping the GPU fed, the processor is running about 26% without SMP running. It look like 1 core would be about right or run SMP at 75%. I can’t tell if it is running better this way, from past experience, I think not.
I have a couple of old monitors in the basement, I just can’t bring myself to cut the plug off while they still work.
I eventually want to get a new video card, but I probably need to get some better cooling first. When I put that ASUS card in, the fan started making a lot of noise trying to keep up. This PC is for my home theater, so noise is a bother.
Thanks for the help.
SMP running as fast as you want will crank out lots of points, and we know that it works now as a service.
Erase the GPU, check in services to ensure that it is disabled, and glom all of those SMP points and productions.
We will tell over the next couple of days whether we have increased your contributions. Certainly will be higher if power issues compound over a hot summer.
Just set it and forget it!
