Hi,

During the last few days I have noticed that my computer is responding very slowly. For example, typed text doesn't show immediately on screen, but only after a noticeable delay. When I maximize or minimize a window it takes some time as well.

I tried to find out what is responsible and it is related with Milkyway crunching on my GPU (Radeon HD7770). As soon as I switch it off via Boinc Manager all works normal. I had a look at my results and I think the problem appeared at the same time the application was updated from "MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati)" to "MilkyWay@Home v0.82 (ati14)". I never noticed it while the old application was running and now the system slows down whenever the new application is running.

Is then new application supposed to work like this? Is there any way to change it back so it won't slow down my system? I think you can see my PC configuration in the statistics?

Be aware that the downgrade from v1.02 OpenCL to the older v0.82 ati was an unexpected side-effect of some system maintenance work on the server. See the news area for discussion - all being well, the problem should be found and fixed soon (David Anderson is working with Travis on the email lists), and normal service should be resumed soon with no action needed on your part.

Thanks for the reply. Just found the discussion in the News section.
