Eeerrrumm.. I get that the PSU says 750w on it, but is it a name brand one? Does it specify if that's 750w peak? My sig rig uses just a smidgen under 700 watts at the wall when I run furmark, but that's a fairly heavily clocked 8350 (with a healthy dose of volts) and two HD 6870s.

I would suspect your rig clocks in a lot lower than mine does for wattage, but if it's some offbrand PSU, they may have exaggerated on the wattage it can handle.

Are your "System Specs" currently up to date? A FX 8350 at 4.4GHz and a HD 5870?

I don't mean to say everyone else is wrong though. If it's chipset stability, it might be worth bumping up chipset voltage a smidgen and seeing if that clears it up.

That's right is my system on my sign. I never had this problem before . Actually i was impressed with the response of my system while running 100% BOINC and do other stuff. I ever runned BOINC and IBT at same time full stable many times. That's why i am thinking about my psu because the problem is coming when vga is used at same time. is and old 750 w but i do not think it can handle a full load peak in this wattage. What voltage should i bump? the vcore? i am running at 1.4500 at 4.4ghz.

 

[nightriderjt]

I think with the BOINC utility you can create rules that will pause BOINC while you run specific applications.

I laughed a little when you said you were running BOINC and Furmark at the same time

Why laughed? Any system is ment to running at full load without problems (at least at stock settings).

 

[nightriderjt]

100% c.p.u. usage and trying to run anything at all will cause lag, burps and hiccups. Especially if one of the programs is commanding 100% cpu at all times. Your c.p.u. is maxed out. The symptoms @nightriderjt that you are experiencing are quite normal. There is nothing wrong at all with your P.s.u. or P.c.

I had no problems until i runned furmark or a game at same time with 100% of cpu usage. Sql servers,mysql,visual studio or even encoding-decoding video were running smooth with boinc at 100%.no lags at all!

I remember reading a long time ago that PSUs do "wear out" over time - meaning that they lose capacity. But that's mainly a danger if you run them at more than 2/3 of their rated capacity for extended periods.

I'm not sure if that's true or not but I know that I have had PSUs that were rated for say 550watts that I ran at well over 70% for years and they did eventually fail, so maybe there is some truth to that. Others here will definitely have more understanding of this.

So let's say this is correct for the moment and that you've been running that PSU at more than 70% for 7 years. That would about 540watts. If you think that you've been pulling that much or more power from it for that long, then degradation might be a possibility.

Sorry brother. I may be misunderstanding something. I will tell you my exp. I have Boinc set to use an unlimited amount of my resources on my home p.c. which is my system spec pc. And my work p.c which is a quad I-5 3570. Cpu,ram,ssd,network, whatever it wants it gets.
I can do any average task at anytime on my home p.c. if Boinc is running @ 100%. Internet browsing, a.v. scans and such with not a single drop in performance or overall system feel. I tried to play a game once and only once with Boinc @100% and it ran through the menu fine but as soon as the game loaded I was rendering maybe 12 fps with spikes to 20 and drops to 4 or 5. Now I just assumed rationally that my c.p.u. was taxed enough by my background task (Boinc 100%) that any other program that required a substantial portion of the cpu itself, in my case a game but in you case furmark, That the secondary program trying to take cpu cycles away from Boinc would have one heck of a time getting it's share.
My work pc the I5 is a different story because I don't run heavy tasks at any time. Now the only time I have trouble with the I5 running like a broken down car is if I let it run all night or over the weekend (@100%) and return to work on Monday to start my week. As soon as I try to do anything at all the pc slows down hiccups and backfires. It evens out after a minute or two but I just attest this to said programs (e-mail) requesting cpu time. And or being loaded into memory which Boinc has no limit to either.
Games, Boinc, photoshop, furmark, and benching software are all cpu hogs let alone gpu hogs. From my exp with old single core cpu's to my 3770. To much load is to much load. To explain why you are just starting to exp this issue? Maybe your pc was never idle enough long enough for Boinc to fully utilize all of your cpu and ram at the same time?
The funny thing here is your baffled as to why it is acting this way. I am baffled as to how it wasn't always this way for you.

I always run BOINC when I run other stuff, and I've never had significant issues. The only program that makes me stop BOINC is a PS2 emulator, because it needs every cycle it can get. For general gaming, I've never encountered an issue.

So I wonder if it has to do with Ram speed and timings? DDR2 vs 3 even?

Because I think of BOINC as 100% and Furmark as 100%. It's like you are trying to run 200%

Hey! That's me! I thought my milestone days were over until either 6k or 7.5k (or something). I love seeing all these stones too.

 

[nightriderjt]

Problem solved. It was the PSU. I replaced it with a new one and now the system is full stable. I gone my vga to my previous OC levels and everything is fine. Furmark,games everything GPU intensive is running side by side with BOINC without problem . The old PSU gone to a system with less power requirements.

Yeah, it certainly was random. I was browsing around for something to throw in the post, and then that popped up and just made me chuckle.

Now I'm all for being tired Matt but

Sorry bro, didn't realize it til now. Last night was a really bad night for me, got super sick again. I've been fighting this cold virus thing, and it keeps coming back at me after a few-day lull, super annoying.

Fixed it now

No prob my friend. Was just playing around. Hope your feeling better soon. Don't suppose you live in a home that caters to your every whim while feeling down?
