Guys need some help.

My 3rd rig is crunching along fine still but I have a problem with BOINC. Date/Time is correct.

It keep saying it's reached it's daily quota of 10 results, and won't download no more work. Any suggestions?

Yes, wait. New rigs get tested the first day and are only aloted a few (10?) WU's. Just let it stay on and all will be fine.

Check your results status for that machine on WCG. When I had that problem it was due to the fact that a dozen or more wu's had failed. As a result, the WCG server only sent me 6 units per day (one per core) until it saw that they were being successfully processed.

Yep - what he said. Just give it a day and it will start downloading more WU's

I'll have to take a look at it. I thought that it possibly happened because of overheating. Gave her a nice spray of air earlier, and she's still working...for now.

Hard drive checked out clear after HD Tune. That narrows it down, and thankfully I won't have to change my HDD; the spare I have is SATA while the one in my laptop is UltraATA/100.

I don't deal much with lappies unless there is a problem with the gf's. On the last one she had, I opened it up and looked at the heat sink once. I pulled out a massive hair ball. The HS shouldn't be too hard to get at but it will involve at least removing a panel on the case. I would do a search and see if you can get any pointers from a forum where this is discussed. Good luck.

Chicken Patty · Dec 14, 2010

Alright guys. I'll keep you posted.

mjkmike · Dec 16, 2010

(FIH) The Don · Dec 16, 2010

how many cycles had it?

huh?

Velvet Wafer · Dec 17, 2010

Chicken Patty said:
huh?

the number of cell cycles... at about 10000 cycles an Indilinx SSD should crap out... my ST held about 12000 cycles and then it was dead^^

I used this tool
, my apologies, site is in german and the tool also i think, but it shows you pretty good how used the drive is

Oh bro, couldn't have been much. I had issues the moment I turned it on, I just didn't think it was the SSD.

you tried a few different cables on the SSD? can be a DOA otherwise, for indilinx thats normally easy to find out. if it doesnt work at all, and flipping the jumper makes it show as yatapdong instantly, its probably dead (if the cable changing was fruitless)
if it doesnt show anything at all... its VERY dead

Different cable, different rig, optimizing, different settings. Defective On Arrival for sure. I just didn't think it would be that, by the time I figured it out it was too late to RMA.

how lame of ST to produce DOA SSD´s

for a non critical and simple built part, that doesnt heat much, nor is sensitive to shock, i would have asked for better QC :laugh:

SSDs acting up are gruesome, i also had this day were i installed win7 again, just for the SSD to completly crap out with a BSOD after installing ALL updates and rebuilding the OS with backups as good as possible

mjkmike · Dec 17, 2010

I have a stupid question if you don't shut you're system down why get a ssd?

responsivity my friend, responsivity!

try to open 30 different programs, no matter if on the SSD or not (beeing on the SSD just the speeds the process up further)
and then try it on a HDD... you can literally feel the difference

also, as long as the SSD is healthy, the integrated ECC should protect your OS from major corruption, besides the usual better stability of non mechanic storage (correct me if im wrong on that)

if someone hits the rig over accidentially, at least the OS wont get lost as the ssd can take the shock ;-)
also, sometimes rigs crash, and sometimes you OC or install some shit that needs you to reboot in order for it to work. these are the moments when an SSD simply shines

(and, makes your epeen a whole lot longer... i still havent found any normal person that know what an SSD is, before i told them

)

mjkmike · Dec 17, 2010

Thanks Velvet. I think I will stay with my setup.

you have a raid 0 in 4x config, i guess that counts as even faster than a standard SSD, at least sequential (access times are a whole another stoy)

versatility is horrible tho, i guess you have mainly the OS on it?
