16.02 percent done. Com'on! Go faster! lol
How can I make the program use all my CPU when I go to bed to make it run faster?

Mine automatically uses it all. I have a gauge on my desktop that shows cpu usage and it shoots to 100% when I start folding.

"Think" I might know what it is. When I started it up I got a message saying my gpu driver crashed and recovered and I noticed 1 of the 3 wu's was locked up with a now unknown eta. I guess it did it again while I was in the shower as when I came back another one was missing.

So I'm thinking it is placing a wu on my cpu, and the other 2 wu's on my 2 gpu's which might be causing a problem as I had them in SLI configuration and they are acting like one large gpu. I disabled the SLI so each card can work separately. Will see if it works in the morning.

Well disabling SLI has allowed 2 wu's to go throughout the night but not 3. I'm wondering if my 2nd video card might be busted.

Anyone using hardware at work to process units should be careful. Many companies do not allow such things for various reasons. Some don't like it as they feel it is a security risk but the primary reason I've seen is due to power consumption. If a company allowed lots of PCs to do this it would cost a fortune in power bills.

This is certainly a great cause but I don't want to hear about folks getting into trouble with their employer.

Got one more day to go on my first unit.
First I've heard of this.
Gotta tell friends and aquaintances.
These diseases touch everyones lives in some way, eventually.
We have 3 folks in our building currently battling cancer
and the building has only 8 units!

Kudos to Thrasher, ecf and all participants.

PS. Does Dusty ever do anything in a small way?...355501 and 143 WU's,lol,
good on 'ya Dusty!
