Charity and Potential Ron Paul Publicity via ::Folding@home::

I was having trouble with the program so I stopped using it.

When my laptop would go to sleep(or hibernate, not sure which), it would not come back up without a hard reboot. Windows 7 64 bit with beta F@H client.

Any simple fix to this, or how do I submit a bug report?

The easiest thing to do perhaps would be to not let your laptop go to sleep. You can change the battery/performance settings in windows to prevent the laptop from going to sleep on its own. Even before I did Folding@Home I would do this because my laptop stayed in one place usually and was plugged in. You can also change it so that your computer doesn't sleep when you close the lid.

The Folding@home forums are here: http://foldingforum.org/ And you are using the V7 FAHClient Open Beta and based on your point count you must have a good GPU ie both slots are contributing. In fact, you are doing quite well and we need you back! So try the forums before we look into a bug report.

One more thing to check. Under Configure, check to make sure on the first tab "Connection" that under local client it doesn't say start. If it says start, just push that button upon waking and that might do the trick.

150 CPUs folding; we`ve broken another record and managed this with only around 30 users.

We need more volunteers!

You can lower the CPU usage but it only uses idle cycles no matter what. It may be a good idea to lower the CPU usage on a laptop though, for overheating concerns?

To clarify my previous post, the following things have happened:
1. The Beta client that many of us are using is now released to the front page of the folding at home website. The client is still in Beta, but is now the recommended client on the front page of the main website!
2. The folding at home website has been updated.

I need to update the first post to reflect these changes I think and other things I have learned since I started.
 
Getting lots of new people to join! Anyone know how to update the thread title? Eventually I think we can change it to the one I have as my first post title, if you guys agree.

I just finally got around to addressing this thread.

I put one of my old bitcoin mining computers on this.
Should add an extra few hundred points per day.

EDIT: Looks like that will be a few thousand points per day!:cool:
