Okay--tried folding a while back, computer so very not happy with the program. Got new graphics card and a spiffy 400w power supply with dual fans last week--trying it again. So far, been folding for about 20 minutes and no problems yet. Last time it shut my comp down in about 2 minutes (and that was with the non-graphical client)

Hoping I can help!

I normally set the F@H console to fold at 50% - 70%, depending on the age of the machine. All of my personal (home) systems fold at 100% and never give any problems, because they know what's good for them and don't want to disappoint me.

The graphics card normally doesn't affect folding very much. A good power supply will certainly help. Always blow the dust out with canned air when ever the cover comes off a system. Of course, looking around my computer room, every single system I have at the house is wide open with no lids or sides.

You have given new life to your systems, for not very much money. Those are the best upgrades for most systems to extend their lives for a couple of years.

Look forward to seeing your points come in!
