Xev,

Make sure you are connected to internet. If u are using any firewall softwares, add WCG to the exception list so that traffic is allowed. Lastly, if u are using any proxy, you have to configure WCG proxy options found in the (advanced view) Advanced-options-http proxy.

Lets know how it goes!!

Thank's hat, but I think I got it figured out.

I'm in and it's installed but I'm not sure if it's running because I don't see that window as shown above. I'm using 64bit version.. i'll figure it out.

Yessir! With your i7 @ 4ghz your production will be outstanding :rockout:

How did you setup your CPU usage (cores and percent)?

Oh, and you did join the TPU Team, right?

If you do not have the CPU usage set to 100% it will cycle between full load and idle to get to your desired %. So for example, if under options for CPU usage you say 50% the client will run 100% for one second then 0% the next for an average of 50% Usage. I prefer to run it 100%, when another program needs the cycles the low priority WCG program will take a backseat.

shevanel · Oct 13, 2009

i logged into wcg and it says my team is TPU.

Cpu spikes 5-100% over and over, normal/safe?

100% cpu usage on multi-cpu setting.

It never asked me to join a team, just loaded WCG.

See above. EDIT, log into the website and select my Team on the left hand side, and join up for TPU

TEAM 22175

shevanel · Oct 13, 2009

Never saw TPU anywhere on that site I reg'd at.

So the cpu is ging to spike 0-100 every second forever?

Under preferences for CPU, set CPU time to 100% and CPU usage for Multi Core to 100%

You have to log in on the webiste there is a link that says My Team, thats where you join up

shevanel · Oct 13, 2009

ok set time to 100 from 60 nd now its constant 100% cpu..

wcg website says im on TPU team :rockout:

hat · Oct 13, 2009

I figure I should mention this here

If you have a 64-bit setup you might want to use the 64-bit manager from the BOINC website

Excellent

Just run it whenever you have the time or feel like it. You can scroll to the right in the manager and you will see when the deadlines are for the Workunits you are working on. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or post up here, there are a lot of experienced members here that can help.
