Partial Credit?

The very first WU I was working on somehow "malfunctioned". At 60 odd percent it reset and I got another WU. Pissed as I was I started a new WU. The next day I was searching the team stats page to see if I was listed (2 WU's are being worked on but none are complete). And there it was; I got only 29.92 credits for the 44 credit WU but more puzzling was that the WU was shown as complete.

Glitch? I'm mainly curious because my P3 is not even a 1/4 through its next WU and Ive been meaning to reinstall linux for a while (which I plan to do in the morning). I'm certain it'll mimick the "unexplainable" interruption I had with the first WU on this machine.

That is not uncommon especially with OC'd systems and if it continues to happen it means your OC if you are OC'd is unstable. I know many people use 3DMark and Prime95 for a few hours to test for stable OC's and pass with flying colors, but if it is unstable F@H will find it.

I've prolly lost more than 44 complete WU's and might have got credits for half of them

Hey, Life folds on!!!
