Hello All, I'm sorry to trouble GIMPSers with what might be more of a computer question. I am using an Athon Thunderbird 1.3GHz and 256 MB of 133 MHz (DDR) Ram.
My computer has always emitted a high pitched squeaking noise when processes like GIMPS start, and also when I do things like use the scroll wheel of my mouse etc. Recently the computer started hanging randomly on certain tasks (not GIMPS). After having taken the RAM down to 100MHz the high pitched squeak and the hanging has stopped. 1) Will the hanging have any impact on the credibility of what PRIME95 finds - I am around 86% through a L-L Test? 2) Can anyone shed light on whether it is my ram at fault or something on the motherboard? (sorry, I realise this is not really GIMPS related) Thank you, Philip Whittington _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
