Crunchers Helping Crunchers

Could be just flat a bad board @james888 . I would contact the seller and see about getting a refund. If the seller is any kind of a decent Ebay seller he or she would have no problem refunding. Many sellers, especially ones that sell a lot of products, don't even test many of his or her for sale items.

I would test with a Linux Live stick.

About the RAM,

- Clean the slot. A toothbrush + isopropyl alcohol + canned air will do fine.
- Test each stick individually on slot 2.
- Test each stick on slot 2 while slot 1 is populated.

I want to try and do everything I can before going through that route. Glad I am at this point.

I tried an individuals ram in the far ram slot. It fails as long as the far ram slot is populated. I tried cleaning it with air but I don't want to break out the isopropyl.

I already knew, but tested again that both ram sticks were good.

Using a live linux mint on usb I was able to get lan working, so that is indeed a driver issue.

I even got the gpu working in it. I was checking again to make sure everything was connected correctly. I pushed on the tail end and it made a click. It is a very small itx case, so I must not of pushed the gpu in all the way.

I reflashed the bios just to make sure there was no problems there. Currently the only persistent problem is a defective ram slot. I can just use a single 4gb ram stick instead of my preferred 2x2gb ram.

Thanks team.

I am still testing it though. Once I really get it running I will stress test it before running WCG. Hardware is my g1620, one of my 750ti's, a gigabyte h61 motherboard, and those cheap on sale excellent XFX 550w psu. Pictures will follow when ready.

Is there any DDR3 available? The i5 could use at least a 2x2GB kit (and then I can move the 2x1GB kit to another machine, get maybe an amd quad running, at least a dual)

I have to check my parts boxes. I know I have 2x2GB is use, but not sure if I have any spares. PM me a reminder if I forget.

Guys what happened here. Did it die?

The thread? No. One of the recent rigs mentioned?

No, I was just wondering in case I get my 1,000 points/day so I can legally request.

Request what?

Listen, I know for fact you speak English in Berk. So, if you passed your Grade School English classes you would understand that your statement means nothing. May I suggest, rephrasing your question, so as to make sense to those of us NOT living inside your head!

Hello everyone,

I am starting this thread so that we can try to help each other out on getting some of our unfinished rigs up and crunching.

If you have an unfinished rig, you can post a list of components you need to get that rig running and I'll make a list in the first post with the member name and what it is that they are missing. This way anybody can see it and help out if they can/want.

However, in order to qualify for this you need to have an average of at least 1000 points according to the below link. (EXCEPTIONS ARE POSSIBLE) Once at below link you can check the "Average" column to see if you qualify. Purpose of this is to see who really wants parts to crunch or not. This shows some sort of dedication to crunching and gaurantees us that these parts we are sending out will be used for what they are intended for.


Below is the link where you can check your stats including the average. If you have any questions please ask away.


PLEASE NOTE, no negotiations in the thread, this is not a FS/FT/WTB thread. Take it to PM if you want to negotiate.

Mine was funnier.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I have a request, does anyone here can be more then one person have any extra dvi to vga adapters they don't want or need? I am in need of about five of them. If not I can get some from the egg with a future order

 

[Nordic]

I have several that go unused.

Pm details buddy.

Ha! My nonsense brings back threads in a stylish manner!

Also figured I'd explain myself here. I'm looking for a 60GB laptop HDD for my netbook so I can run WCG on it. While yes it takes DAYS to do tasks, I figured it's better than nothing. The issue is that I would have to find a reliable connection for it to run on.

I could ask my therapist to see if he would host the netbook but it needs something to run the OS off of and I need my drives/SD cards. I'll see if I can figure something out because I don't want to ask and it not work out.

Did I make sense? Berk english is a different english than Earth english.

You could try running from an O.S. on a stick, that way you wouldn't need a hard drive installed.

 

[Caring1]

My turn to ask a question, having just joined the team, my computer has been crunching all night, my usual projects are still racking up the numbers but WCG is sitting on zero, why doesn't that start straight away like all the other projects do?
I can't think of a valid reason why the client wouldn't show the data immediately.

 

[twilyth]

Not sure what you mean but WCG only runs stats twice per day IIRC. I think at noon and midnight GMT.

Also, most projects require verification. IOW, the same work has to be done by 2 or more machines so you don't get credit until all of your wingmen also report a finished work unit.

 

[Caring1]

Hmm thanks, as I said the other projects I have running are done solo and show up on the BOINC manager as soon as they complete, and have done so since I first joined them, there is no delay as with WCG.
It's a bit disheartening to see, work done for this project: 0 every time I look at it.

 

[FireFox]

I have the same situation @Caring1

 

[twilyth]

You can check your results in real time by going to 'my contribution' and then on the left side click on 'results status'. Then click on 'time due/return time' to sort and have completed result listed on top of the sort order.

Not sure on the actual WCG site but FreeDc does three updates a day. On in the morn, one late afternoon, and one late evening.

Many of us have tried this, and for WCG it is not a viable solution. I first used a usb 2.0 stick, then a usb 3.0 stick. Both times it started ok, but over time linux became highly unstable doing all sorts of wierd things. It even killed the usb 2.0 stick, but not the usb 3.0.
