Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 06:38 Fri 2/28/2014 Originally posted by t0rin0 My crappy little spare computer doing 800 ppd just broke 100k it looks like. In 3 more years it might break a million It’d be real nice to have 10 more people like you (or the majority of us) who do 1000ish ppd.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 07:27 Fri 2/28/2014 If there is a way to request smaller work units I think my computer would be more efficient. Most of my work units take 4 days and then net 4-5k but when I get the small ones they only take 2-3 hours and get about 800 pts. I tried putting it on light folding for a week but it didn’t seem to change anything, so I just put it back to medium.

I tried putting it on light folding for a week but it didn’t seem to change anything, so I just put it back to medium. The WU assignments are randomized. If you are on default settings, there is no way to request smaller WUs. I have the opposite problem- I went from 143k PPD to 50k PPD, because I’m drawing a bunch of core 15 WUs that take 5 hours each and are only worth 5757 points. I prefer the core 17 WUs, which are worth about 25k each on average and take 6-8 hours.

I’m back folding, so that will be like 16+ years! hahaha. Had my computer unplugged all weekend but its going again. Should get a solid week or two consecutively, hopefully get to the 2500ppd
Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 07:17 Mon 3/3/2014 I’ve been promised a new computer for a job so I’m guessing my PPD will have a 30% or so bump. Nothing great compared to some other user numbers but I’m looking forward to that million points mark.

Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 13:51 Mon 3/3/2014 I’ll finish a WU today sometime, glad to be back at this! go team ratebeer!
Message sethdude beers 708 º places 17 º 07:58 Tue 3/4/2014 One of my computers is still down with a perpetual blue screen NV4_driver "infinite loop" issue. I’m struggling with fixing it, and running out of patience. It usually averaged 20k PPD, so I’d like to get it going again. Aside from deleting all drivers and re-downloading drivers (already tried unsuccessfully), does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

The only answer I found was to reinstall it (probably have to start the PC in safe mode to even get this far), but it sounds like you already did that. Maybe the hardware is bad?
