1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC screen saver lockup (Message 36214)
Posted 26 Dec 2010 by Zippy47710
Post:
Since I installed the 6.10.58 BOINC manager, I have had problems with the screen saver crashing upon return to using the computer. This crash is so hard, it locks up the computer, no mouse or keyboard input makes any difference. I must hit the reset button to do a total restart.

I have the SETI@Home project as my only project. My PC is an AMD Athlon 64 2000+ CPU, 3 GB of RAM, 50 GB of available hard drive.

My video card is an ATI Radeon X700 with the ATI 8.342.0.0 driver, and the ATI Catalyst 07.02.

Operating system is Windows XP Pro SP 2.

Thanks,

Chad

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Peformance with new BOINC manager 6.10.58 (Message 35885)

I upgraded my BOINC server to 6.10.58, from an older version, 5.4.11. My system was stable and performance was acceptable with BOINC 5.4.11. With this new version, 6.10.58, performance is very poor. Simply scrolling down a list in Windows Explorer causes the scroll to be very jerky. Swapping applications with ALT+TAB causes a noticeable delay and a screen redraw. I have ran a defragment on the hard drive, and scanned for Malware.

My hardware:
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 2400 MHz
RAM - 3 Gigabytes
HDD - 115 Gigabyte PATA - 22 Gigabytes bytes free
Video - ATI Radeon x700 AGP bus

My system software:
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chad
