how do you set the program to 100 percent

never mind found it.

Go to preferences and you'll see "Use No More Than". Click the down arrow and select 100% and save.

WCG BoinC and Crossfire.

I used to play Crysis, Crysis Wars, Crysis Warhead (okay, I'm a Crysis fanboy, watcha lookin' at?? ) and heck even COD 4 with my single HD 3870 and I just installed a 2nd HD 3870 in Crossfire and now all my games freeze. I use to play them without a problem while running WCG Client @ 100%. Any ideas?

Driver issue. Try rolling back until one works. I found 8.12 works for me so I stayed with it.

Well, I tried 9.5....that was a total mess...I had to go into safe mode and do a system restore :shadedshu. So I restored to a 8.5xxxx bla bla and got my screen back... but still the same issue. So I tried updating using "update driver software" in device manager and it updated to 8.612.0.0. It got a little better, just took longer to freeze...So then I decided to go into CCC and check the settings. Turns out I had my new card overclocked to 800 some odd Mhz and 1st GPU was at default (don't know how the heck that happened). So I put my 2nd GPU at default and no problems since.

Now, I'll just cross my fingers and try gaming with BOINC running. Wish me luck!!

My scores will really suck today seeindg as I was busy figuring out this Crossfire thing for the 1st time in my life!!!

I know the feeling. Last night I was trying to figure out why I had no sound and then today when I got home I installed a new sound card..sounds back!! Should have surpassed 2500 by this evening but Oh well.

We'll Keep up the fight!!!

I'm sending you a PM dude!!

EDIT: Okay, Since my last Crysis session pulled no stops, I am now going to resume my "Boincing" and try a session with it running. I'll let you know how it all turns out. (if you want that is. Either way, I'll find a way to crunch and game if it's the last thing I do b4 I die!! )

 

[kenkickr]

If my damn girlfriend didn't watch 3 episodes of House(video stutters really bad when BOINC is running) last night I'd be close to 3500. Oh well, system's cranking away at this all day today

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

Alright, so I can game and crunch at the same time again. I just can't OC my 2 X HD3870s

man my stupid corsair ram causes instability somehow, dont know why. I have removed them and only running the ram in my specs now. Came back home and the rig was not crunching(restarted).

You need to set up a webcam to monitor it! I saw you had only 299 for today and knew you must be having big problems.

I feel for ya CP...I've had that happen to me many times but since I reduced my overclock from 3.1 to 2.8 it's all good now and no errors either (or very few)

I feel for you too man. When I built my new i7, I forgot to change my power management, so it was "sleeping" all day.

Today wasn't a good one for my crunching. I spent the whole day until now (1:50am) messing with my new quad. Sadly my PSu prevents me from high overclocks (750W PSU, PSU calculator shows almost a usage of 770, and this is with the bare minimum stuff running). So I have to go with 3200MHz for a while.

Edit: Comfortable volts and stable, I'm crunching now with a bit more than 2900MHz. Four times at once

MRCL, those PSU calculators over estimate A LOT! I relay do not think your PSU is limiting your overclocking potential. Your rig should not draw too much more power then mine, witch is running off of a shitty 650 Wat. I would check for instability elsewhere

True that, but if I go over 1.5v, infamous continuous beeping noise upon booting is the result. Which indicates a power supply issue.

its just the ram, it is out now and the computer is perfectly fine!

We need you to acquire 50 more PC's to make up for skinnee's missing presence. Shouldn't be too hard.

j/k = Just kidding...lol I do have a lonely E6400 needing a mb.. I'll try and order one tomorrow. But I think I still have enough to add 3 more tomorrow.
