My AMD crashed on me after it over heated and restarted. Once it was done booting, all workunits and the seti program (d/l via BOINC) was all erased!! completely!! Is this some sort of major bug? Cause i had download a few workunits to last me some days as the cable company was redoing the lines and changing a few routers, and now its all gone! ID: 5310 ·  |

Probably has to do with the computer crash. Try error-checking the HD. NT class windows does not always write to the HD until system shutdown, pulling the plug can do do damage to the contents of the HD.  ID: 5317 · |

Umm... if your processor is overheating you are focusing on the wrong thing here. Address your cooling problem first! =P You are wrecking your system this way and screwing up the science results in the progress too. Fortunately, BOINC triple-checks the first results returned. ~David ID: 6422 · |
