2653 (Run 33, Clone 81, Gen 23) Running on 3 cores [Solved]

Post by Cajun_Don »

This WU starts with four cores running for a while. then 1 core has 00 % load and 1 core has 50 % load, with the 2 other cores fluctuating with 50 % load.

When that 1 core does not have a load, no more checkpoints are issued every 15 minutes.

OS: Windows XP SP 2 Home,
MB: MSI K9N4 SLI
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Ram: Mushkin Enhance 2 Gb DDR2 800 Dual Channel

When I shutdown the client, it states
"[11:39:43] Killing all core threads
[11:39:43] Killing SMP core threads
[11:39:43] Killing 3 cores
[11:39:43] Killing core 0
[11:39:43] Killing core 1
[11:39:43] Killing core 2"

I shutdown the client and rebooted and still going to 3 core running after one checkpoint.

Code: Select all

We previously saw this behaviour on this forum ... did you search the forum for it to see if it's the same WU :?:

Problem resolved by doing, a clean install of Windows XP, after trying everything else to keep it running on 4 cores for over 5 hours.

Happy Holidays :D
