Hi all,
I have 2 laptops.
1.Windows 7 x86, 1 core - 1 thread, no GPU computing
2.Windows 8.1 x64, 4 cores - 8 threads, nVidia and Intel computing
I'm using same configuration (web) for both of them - Boinc can compute only when computer is idle for 5 minutes.
On old laptop everything is OK.
On new laptop when Boinc start then don't stop when I start to use the computer. In memory is still 8 computing threads and CPU utilization is 100%. Then I have to quit Boinc and stop threads if I want to work. Any ideas?

What version of BOINC are you running?

edit:

I see you are running 7.4.42.

You might want to try the latest version from http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D to see if the problem is fixed.

BOINC WIKI

Also make certain that the Activity Menu has "Run based on Preferences" selected.

I'm stupid, this was so simple. I had checked option "Run always" in Activity Menu. Shame.
Thank you very much for answers. Problem solved.

How much DRAM has your Multicore LapTop?

How is your cooling?

My I7-2600 [DeskTop/SelfMade], has 16GByte 1600MHz.DDR3 DRAM.
2x HD5870 GPU 's [The CPU has HT=ON]
When runnin S@H WU's (7.00/7.03), AstroPulse on CPU, it's memory use is
very low, so B.O.I.N.C. gets 6500MByte, dodn't know if GraphicsMemoryGDDR5,
is included in this readout from TaskManager.
[PSU=1000Watt; 4x +12V 20A; 2x +12V 28A; 2x +5V each 15A; 3.3V 12A.]
COOLERMASTER Case(old type; PSU on-top; GPU cards/slots bottum.

CPU gets 102C , when using 100% setting as CPU use.
GPU's get at 58C (Lowest) and 63C (PCI-e x16[2.0] slot.

CPU gets 102C , when using 100% setting as CPU use.

My i7-2600k (self-made) runs about 63-66C when my room is 34C running 8 Rosetta. My GTX550Ti runs 68C (2 x AP and/or MB mix). You might want to check the voltage to your CPU (via the bios settings and/or HWINFO or similar program).

My new i7-4790k was running waaaay too hot, and it was because the bios needed an update to lower the cpu voltage. Now it is cool enough to over-clock it some.
