disapPOINTed

SM23 recieved one of those huge 600 pointers on Saturday and up until lastnight it was folding fine at 91% completion. I needed to reboot the machine so I did.....

This went on for a long time, I lowered the o/c to stock 1600+ speeds and nothing changed. I downloaded and started a fresh command line/service install, same thing. Downloaded the 5.03 GUI client, same thing.

After this I just left it (was 1:30AM), I woke up today and saw that SM23 was working on a 69 pointer WU. I'm not sure what happened but I know we lost out on at least 500 points worth of work completed.

Damn. Shyt happens.

We can feel for you with this problem. Sally checked my notebook and found it had been doing a 600 pointer to 78 steps, restarted itself, only to go back to "0" of the SAME work unit.
