I'm using FOLDING@HOME and BOINC and love both, but my mother is lost... she need 25%cpu-wcg-run-at-sartup-and-I-dont-care.exe

Im asking how many peoples we lost because there are lost in the complexity of boinc.

we need a simplicity version where boinc can start default with example WCG.

I really thing we need two version, completely. Super simple one and advanced one, but not two-in-one like the one we have.

In the advanced one, serious need something more easy to manage multi computer, I can see on the wgc all my active PC, how hard is't to integrate some warning and controle from one boinc instance.

Hello all!

I use internet via my cellphone, i'm illimited, but i connect my PC only during night, using my cellphone during the day. The trouble is when internet is back on the pc, (i connect on my router/usb thetering) the BOINC Manager don't automatically refresh. The timer for the upload go to like 14 Hours before trying to connect to the projet server, so if i don't do manual refresh, no work are processing.

Did there a way that BOINC refresh upload/dowload when i re-connect the internet?

Hi! I got the same issue.

I think about buying a usb Stick Temp gauge and use the program to start a auto-clicking software that will desable the GPU at 23C.

I have sadly no skill in programming.

Here is the http://www.powercolor.com/ca/products_features.asp?id=161

I have tryed the Powercolor driver... not working.
I tryed to install the 12.1 Ati catalyst driver package... not working.

After the ati driver i got this message : The AMD VISION Engine Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphisc driver, or aneble your AMD adapter using the Displays Manager.

I have tryed the last stable version of Boinc and the beta.

Ok! I'm crazy but that what i got after running my 5970, 5879 full speed... alot of heat. During winter is... ok! but something temp go up at near 29C in my room.

I see on ebay USB TEMP SENSOR, Cheap 15$...that store temp data in text mode, so it will be cool to have the option to use it for a better efficency. Just a option that will desactivate the GPU at set Temp, and activate when needed.

A lillte like a ECO-GEEK Thermostat... :P

Thank :)
