Laptop or PC?
Have you disabled any screen savers. They seem to conflict, also scheduled spyware cans from MS anti-spyware, and AV scans tend to really bollocks up the works. I had to set mine back, to only run 2 nights per week, instead of every night.
Laptops, unless you specify, are set by default at some higher power saving levels than desktops, where the HD goes idle, at 1hr, and it takes F@H awhile to tickle it back into life.
Also, a problem mostly with laptops, is letting the PC shut down the network card, to save power. Certain workunits want to check in periodically, and are unable to wake up the network card, which delays the process.
I'm running F@H on my desktop PC. I'll try changing the settings for my AV hopefully that will do it. Thanks.
