I keep having lots of faulty WU's since I installed the console version.....it said something about instability by possibly an overclock, or by overheating, and such. What should I do about that, because I'm tired of having lost WU's!

Thanks,

hubs8907,
Have you always used the console version? While many feel it runs a bit more stable then the GUI client, I have been running all my machines with the graphic client and have had no problems. Is your machine stable otherwise? Have you tried running other stability testing programs on your rig? Some WU's will give problems and may complete early, but they should be few and far in between.
Cheers,
Bob

The graphical client is typically slightly slower then the console version, also it doesn't like games that much. Tends to minimize them without warning. I know that's why I switched.

Also, if you've decided that the stability of your machine is "good enough" rather than making sure it's stable in any case at all, then the folding client is probably going to complain at you like this.

Do not meddle in the affairs of archers, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

@Mime, you probably are right. I lowered the voltage a bit to try to lower my temps......and its not completely stable in Prime95. I'll try to up the voltage a bit more to the proc and see if that helps.

Yeah.My games always minimize when I start 'em,but never while I'm playing,with the graphical version.

Is this what happened hubs;

[03:38:41] Simulation instability has been encountered. The run has entered a

[03:38:41] This may be the correct result of the simulation, however if you
[03:38:41] often see other project units terminating early like this
[03:38:41] too, you may wish to check the stability of your computer (issues
