1) Message boards : Number crunching : Too slow to run? (Message 70753) Posted 19 Jul 2011 by DataRiker Post: Well, disabling the Screen Saver seemed to work. As for undervolting, is there a utility for a dell that will work? I've never seen a way to do that other than the in a BIOS that supports it. Oh, and what does "RAC" stand for?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Too slow to run? (Message 70740) Posted 18 Jul 2011 by DataRiker Post: Now I have a new problem. My computer locks up after I let it sit for a while and the Screen saver comes on. Isn't, the screensaver coming up, standard behaviour if you don't use your computer? When I come home from work the Rosetta@home screensaver is on, which is no big deal I like it. But my computer is FROZEN, its completely locked up as in I have to unplug the machine to get back into windows. I can't seem to pin down the problem. I have a fresh copy of XP installed with correct drivers. Initially I suspected heat buildup, but with the external fans blowing and recently cleaned heat sink and fan, I hesitant to think that is the real culprit. But my computer is frozen. I have to physically unplug it to gain access.

Follow this link for the requirements to run Rossetta. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_requirements.php I'm pretty good in the RAM department, I've got 2 Gigabytes and same for the harddrive as well. Was primarily concerned with not finishing the assignments on time because of the slow CPU There's a 10 day deadline. And since you're reporting them well within that time, you do not need to be worried about your computer being too slow, I would say. Yes, I was definitely finishing them before 10 days. Now I have a new problem. My computer locks up after I let it sit for a while and the Screen saver comes on. My cpu shouldn't be getting too hot. I recently cleaned the heatsink and fan and I have a notebook cooler running underneath the computer.
