What until you get a State Inspector at your house to review your usage.
Then I was almost 30 Times my lowest neighbor and still 10 Times my next highest neighbor.
After about 3 minutes talking to me at my front door he said thank you and walked away.

I already had one of those for a mandatory energy audit from PECO since I was using more power than a household this size should.

And they call this America, Land of Free for what we want you to have and to use.

Congrats RI_Zero

Congrats to all a lot sure happens when one is gone for a long week.

I finally reached 25 million earler today. I'm going to take a break from this for a while. I am watching too many WU come close to completion and then jump up an hour and lower my points by 25-30%. There is rarely anything in the log file to explain this except for the occassional 'corruption found' message. My hardware is fine so I have to blame Stanford for this. Anyway, if I am going to waste my money I can think of better things than electricity to waste it on. [end of rant]

Zuhl, congrats on the 25million..... great stuff.
sorry to hear your issues.
Not a bad thing to step back for a couple of days, then return with a stack of completed WU and PPD.
 
Any specific WU you are seeing these issues with??

I don't remember the WU number but it ran for 7.5h and promised me 103,000+ points. Then it just sat at 99% for almost 45m and dropped down to 83%. After that it needed another hour to finish and only gave me 93,000 pts. Then there was another that had a five digit WU number that took an hour just to get to 5%. I was so disgusted I just shut everything down. Maybe the VRAM on my primary board is starting to flake out. That's all I can think of although Afterburner only shows 240 Mb being used. I kicked the voltage up to 1.230vdc and my Core Clock increased from 1480 to 1493 all by itself. I went so far as to uncouple my video boards and dedicate them to Folding only while I ran my display on my CPU's graphics using an HDMI cable.

I have found that the 18's I've gotten do not like changes in clock speed, and that is the main thing that has caused your issue for me. For example if I was to change the clock speed when the WU was at 65% it would appear to run fine, but once it got to 99.99% it would sit there for a while and then go back down to 65%. Also, there have been a few occasions when gaming while folding has created that issue. However it is very likely it was a result of a clock speed change while gaming.

It happened once earlier this month when a WU should have completed its 7h run at 5:30am but when I finally got up at 8:30am it was still stuck on 99.9% and my Bonus Points were dribbling down. It has been happening more frequently as of late and I have temporarly had enough until someone recognizes the problem and addresses it accordingly. As much as I like contributing to a worthy cause like Folding, the only 'pat on the back' I get besides a hefty electric bill is the Bonus Points which aren't worth anything and I'm not even getting them at times. The thrill is gone for now. MSI Afterburner's monitoring graphs report no drop in clock speeds but an occassional drop in GPU load for some reason. I have only got one Core 21 WU as far as I know. All of my WU are Core 18 running Client-type  'Beta'.

The third one . . . 

Excellent!!!
