1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : 5.2.7...New user needs help... (Message 1012) Posted 23 Nov 2005 by Xiaomu Post: I just installed BOINC 5.2.7 several hours ago 'cause SETI@Home said they're going to shut down classic server very soon... Installation was smooth... Attached to SETI@Home and Einstein@Home successfully, start working easily... But then I found that for Einstein@Home when the screensaver supposed to come out, my screen turn black displaying nothing... That's acceptable, "black screen" is a kind of screensaver anyway... The worst thing is, when SETI@Home is runing, the fancy 3D screensaver was on the screen working properly at the beginning, but after a few seconds, the CPU time clock slow down badly, runing about 0.05 second per second... I doublechecked in the BOINC Manager, and find the CPU time there grows with the same rate about 0.05 second per second during the screensaver was running... Does it means that my computer does almost nothing during the time screensaver running? Or it's only a display bug? Or my old computer (Laptop Celeron 1.33G) is too slow to handle these fancy screensavers? Thanks...
