Links to BilBg's list of recommended stuffĪlso it would be nice if the original post from a sticky was allowed forever access to editing so it could be updated, instead of the 1hr limit all posts have. For example (in Win7):ĭisable programs that auto-start in Windows by.ĭisable auto-restart for Win auto-updates Edit: and check those updates! maybe somebody can create a sticky (for more important things than the WEI) called something like "Useless/Optional Windows fluff (Bobier©) you can turn off for Seti". So I had about 10 useless tabs open again last night (which is also why I was so slow replying to your msgs here) and decided I should come over and ask my favorite gang of troubleshooters! And I'm glad I did because nowhere did I find that WEI is really called winSAT. So Windows was running useless benchmarks for about 10 minutes (either once a day or once a week) and putting Seti on the backburner. So either WEI was running every single night at 01:00, or at best it was just a coincidence that the last few times I checked were always on a Sunday. But last night it dawned on me that every time I had, WEI had run on it's own the night before in the morning. Since then I had checked the WEI a few times for no real reason. What I got out of that was a) most likely nVidia laptop driver problem and b) some hidden Windows folder were you go in and delete everything and refresh WEI. So I searched and searched and that led to Microsoft forums and eventually nVidia forums. Always the same msg: Your Windows Experience Index needs to be refreshed. And like I've said before, I'm jealous:)Īnyway, I tried refreshing WEI many times. To this day, I'm convinced that this is an Asus quirk and not a 100% Optimus quirk, because Sten's Samsung has never had this problem. Because of this, my driver version has forever been unknown to Boinc. It switches between the ION GPU and the Atom GPU. Another source of aggravation is Optimus. So I'm no nVidia driver troubleshooting expert. Now before I go any further, I should say that this is the only PC I really have and it's the first one I got with Cuda (bought it specifically with Seti in mind). When I right-click on My Computer, next to the WEI (which is under System->Rating) I get a box that is greyed out (I think this should be blue when all ok) with a score of 3.1 and right next to it says: Your Windows Experience Index needs to be refreshed. I'm pretty sure I know why, and pretty sure 99% of you guys will never have this problem.
