I think I know why -bigadv WU's have been dodging my i7 rigs for the last 3 days. Looks like i may have fubar'd my passkey with a bunch of failed work units. I swapped the GeForce 6500 in so I could consolidate my Fermi cards together and limit the CPU hit I was taking on -bigadv. I noticed instability and thought it was a bad stick of AData ram. I dropped the rig down to one stick and went on my way. Kept finding A3 core crashes/WU deletes in the last few days. This morning I re-seated the CPU and cooler, swapped out the ram for another brand and re-installed Win-7. Kept getting Linpack crashes within the first 2 minutes. Decided that the GPU was the only thing I changed since it was last stable, so I yanked the 6500 and swapped in a 8800GS. Now I am 2 hrs into a solid run of Linpack and ready to put the rig back online.
Now the real question is, have I done irreparable damage to my passkey? If you guys are getting -bigadv and I am not, this means I am below the 80 percentile ratio required for the bonuses, correct?
Sorta looking to you on this one Bogmali
