    Probably / Possibly Dead 5700G - Diagnosis help please

    Is their "auto overclocking" - running up the clock speeds to meet a thermal or power limit also just burning some out prematurely? If so, when I finally upgrade to a newer Ryzen, I may just run it in 65 watt eco mode.

    Well, so it was a bad CPU. Glad you got that machine going again. What is it with modern CPU's that makes them fail at rates unknown compared to years gone by?

    Headphone jack not working

    Have you tried plugging in the headphones to the jack on the motherboard itself? At least that would show whether the onboard sound was kaput or not

    Good luck with that! Sounds like you've covered all the bases to me. In the olden days, the odds of a bad Cpu were minimal. It was usually the board. Not anymore.

    Probably / Possibly Dead 5700G - Diagnosis help please

    Sounds like you've been pretty thorough, but have you tried running a single stick of RAM in the 5700G computer?

    WCG?

    I am, too. They've had months to get it right, and haven't fixed it yet. I'm pretty much done with folding until next winter anyway. If it's still giving problems, next winter means a new project.

    WCG is sending me work units again, but nothing has been validating for 2 days. More unintended bunkering. I'm taking advantage of an over-the-night cold snap to fold again.

    You Canadians are really lucky to have this folding advantage over us. I might just move up there to join in.

    We had an all-time record here for the whole of March. Hit 94. Crazy. That's higher than the historical average for July.

    WCG?

    For the last two days a good number have been validating. If it keeps up like this for a couple weeks, all the backlog might be cleared up. Been really getting frustratted at the promises to get WCG running properly, but am fairly optimistic at this point it will finally work again. No new...

    Thanks for the update, ArgFan. Here's hoping they get it right soon.

    Hit a WCG (World Community Grid) milestone? Post it here:

    As I read somewhere, WCG is not posting stats until stability acheived. They appear to be making a big change now. Will they finally get it working properly? Maybe soon.

    WCG?

    Yeah, I have computers with 7, XP, 11, and now one running Linux. XP is really snappy with spinner drives (yes, I still have a bunch). Same machines with 7 or Vista run like they have leg chains - everything sloooooows down. Likely upgrade to Linux on new build this year... thinking of going...

    Sorry, a bit of joke about anti-Xp ism, Toconator. Didn't mean it badly. Irony doesn't come off well in text, often. I get what people say about XP getting hacked, but I run the virus scanners and stuff and it keeps turning up clean. But, I use a modernish browser and ruthless ad blocking...

    WCG?

    This anti-XP ism is just getting toxic.
