Hello,

Thanks for the quick replies. I don't overclock and I also run both seti@home and einstein@home with no problems (that is, no problems with einstein@home since switching to the beta client).

I ran both SuperPI and Prime95 and got errors almost immediately. They both said there were rounding errors. I pulled the computer out from under the desk and took the side panel off. There are three fans and one of them isn't working. The big one at the back and the one attached the heat sink over the CPU are both working. The one below the CPU fan, or to the left of it when it is lying flat, isn't working. It's about 25% of the area of the CPU fan and much thinner. I'm guessing this is the fan for the floating point unit?

With the side panel off and the computer sitting on the floor with nothing around it, I ran the Prime95 torture test again. It is still running after about 30 minutes. The last time it failed almost immediately.

I am guessing the nonworking fan is the problem. Would you guys agree? Are these very hard to replace?

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I am new to the project and have completed 15 work units. On 4 of them there have been enough returned results for credit to be granted, but I show 0.00 credit for each of them. The outcome column reads Success and the clint state column reads Done, so there don't appear to be any errors. My computer is claiming far less credit than the others as well. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I am using BOINC 5.2.8 and sixtrack 4.67 on Windows XP Professional, service pack 2. CPU is AMD Athlon XP 2200+.

Here are the examples, it's computer 77278:

Hello,

Will this project be BOINC based?
