spitter folding for Legit Reviews? I hope so!

[vbironchef]

What's up? I hope you didn't turn into a Wifuzzy. I hope you can fold some more. Please give us a update.

Wifuzzy completed disappeared from the Internet radar... Last I talked to him via PM, he said he'd keep at least the Phenom II he won folding for Legit Reviews. This was a long time ago too!

I'm folding, working on the last i7 I can afford to run. Trying to make more folding friends. No worries.

Made a big mistake last night. Was cleaning my rig and turned off my rig by mistake and lost 98% of a bigadv work unit

It's been a rough month for me, lost about 10 days of folding because of the new a3 bigadv wu, all seemed to crash and burn about 2 days into them. Oh, and have lost about 4 completed bigadv wu in the past.

You don't have your client set to automatically backup your WU? I believe there's a way to do that. This is assuming you're using Linuxrouter's build.

What projects? Some people are getting problems on A3 -bigadv folding as well. They're considerably slower too and give less PPD. There's more info on this on the F@H Support Forum

Yep getting all those errors.

I have had storms rolling through that keeps cutting my power. My UPS on the core i7 has a bad battery and every time it shuts off the work unit is hosed and it gets another one Happened to at least 2 units so far!

I don't think I have had any of the errors running in the VM so far.

Dam, you jinxed me, had a minor blackout just 5 miutes ago, lost both wu, about another 4 days of folding.

Don't you guys ever backup the WU..

Really! Even something as crappy as this can save yer butt.

I know it's not pretty, but it works.

Create a cmd script file. Then add the cmd script into the Schedule in the Control Panel.

OK, so I made the bat file, now to figure out locations, Thanks Vectrexer....... I will make use of it.

Don't you guys ever backup the WU..

nope - it should do it automatically if it was a good program ;)

It should automatically backup the WU. I haven't used Linuxrouter's image in a long time so I don't remember, but I remember it does backup at somepoint of folding.

It does to a point, but for some reason the bigadv units in my VM get lost every time there is a power outage or a computer error. If I manually close it, they are usually fine.

For me a2s, I never lose them, if i don't close it out, no big deal the check point system will recover the work. A3s on the other hand, they run 2 days straight and crash in the middle of the night and lose everything. One machine will blue screen and I wake up to the log in screen............ the other will keep running but vmware will quit during the night and when it gets restarted it will have a core error.

Well, I got a new a3 bigadv core and did the reset test on in, it failed at default motherboard settings (nothing overclocked) with an unstable machine error. The code is bad, there is no reason to back up the data because the data is bad.
