1) Message boards : Questions and problems : VBox does not quit (Message 45758)

Running Test4Theory keeps the application running while other projects are running. I can tell when the Einstein@Home celestial globe or the other projects do not run smoothly but "twitch" around. If I move the mouse the running project stops and there is the VBox window and on the title bar is says "Running" then changes to "Paused" then "Saving" then shuts down.
Have I not set something up correctly or is VBox just misbehaving or is BOINC not properly communicating with VBox?
I guess it is no real problem as everything works, just more slowly as VBox will not give up CPU cycles.

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Suspending computation - CPU usage is too high (Message 35104)

OK, OK. I found the FAQ discussing this "feature" for those of us who allow the computer to run 24/7.

I shall see if I can disable this so the computation(s) can continue uninterrupted.

But still the question of why this suddenly appeared still stands.

I've only recently begun seeing the following

.
.
10/3/2010 7:16:33 AM Suspending computation - CPU usage is too high
10/3/2010 7:16:44 AM Resuming computation
10/3/2010 7:17:14 AM Suspending computation - CPU usage is too high
10/3/2010 7:17:24 AM Resuming computation
.
.

The job(s) run(s) for about 30 seconds and suspends for ten or so and then resumes. Most of the time the CPU Meter shows the CPU at 100% in both cores when computation is in progress. SETI@home seems to run OK and it is Climateprediction and Einstein@home that seem to suffer the most. LHC@home hasn't had any work for months.

I have installed BOINC 6.10.58 but the problem started during 6.10.56's watch. The CPU is an AMD Dual Core with 4Gb RAM and two WD 150Gb Raptors in a RAID 0 configuration.

Has something changed and can this be fixed?

4) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Transferring to a new operating system (Message 10335)
Posted 19 May 2007 by Turner

I'm sure this has been answered in one of your FAQs (I've looked but can't seem to come up with the correct search criteria) but I'm about to put Vista onto my computer. How do I transfer all my SETI, EINSTEIN and CLIMATEPREDITCION work-to-date and credits to the new operating system?

The new OS is going onto a squeaky clean hard drive as a "clean install" so nothing will be migrated with it. I am prepared to reinstall BOINC but need to get the other stuff into the right place(s). Or, do I have to start all over again?

Thanks,

Turner
