YCruncher error "Process doesn't use enough CPU power anymore?

[Stevehel]

Tried a quick test and came back to this error message. Any help appreciated.

Did you try the latest alpha release?

[Stevehel]

I did yes.

y-Cruncher crashed for each core, so your overclock/undervolt is unstable. It actually seems to be pretty unstable, the default message for y-Cruncher mentions what actually went wrong, but here it just displays the crashed message. Going to have to add this to the error parsing, so that the generic "doesn't use enough CPU power anymore" message doesn't show up for this.

Ah that makes sense. I’ve passed P95 AVX512 etc so thought it was stable. This must be a better test. Thank you.

[Stevehel]

Is it possible for me to add the newest version of YCruncher easily?

[sp00n]

I haven't tested with the latest y-Cruncher version yet, but as long as no new binaries are introduced or the config changes (new/removed tests), then it generally works. New binaries or new tests will not work unless I add them to the code, and at least in one version I noticed that the 00-x86.exe binary is missing in the zip file, so if you delete the old binaries and copy the new ones, any missing binary will not be available anymore.

[Stevehel]

Great, thanks for the quick response. Now I’ve dialled my CO back everything is passing, just need to test for a longer period of time to be sure.
