I'm new to the forum and have been folding since early July. I installed the linux (ubuntu 10.10) v7.1.52 client on a dedicated folding computer last Friday (it had been running v6 for a few weeks). I know v7 is in beta, but starting Saturday it would close down the client right around 5-5:30 pm (EST) every day. At 1st it would do it after finishing a wu, but today it did it in the middle of a long wu. It doesn't crash and the controller stays open, and I can fire it right back up again and it folds no with problems until 5 pm the next day. I thought maybe something was wrong with my computer, but a few people on my folding team have experienced the same problem, and one of them has it happen at 5:30 pm in their time zone (UTC).
another thing thats strange (and may or may not be related) is my main computer (not a dedi) is running the v7 windows smp and gpu client. It BSOD yesterday at 5:30 and BSOD again today at the same time as the dedicated rig. I know the BSOD was from overclock instability (and I've addressed it), but it seems kind of odd that it happened around the same time that the client closed down on my dedicated rig.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a fix for it? I use the dedicated rig for team competition so I want to try to minimize down time with it. Luckily the times that its closed I've been home to restart it but one of these days I may not be. Thank you in advanced for any help
