Title: Laptop going into sleep mode Post by: os2sam on June 14, 2011, 08:21:48 PM I have had a problem with my wife's laptop, a Thinkpad x61, when doing CPU Pool mining. It goes into sleep mode. I bring it out of sleep and it goes immediately back in. It will do this 2 or 3 times before it will come out of sleep mode and stay there. I asked her if this has happened with regular use and it doesn't.
I'm using Ufasoft CPU miner. Thinkpad X61 Windoze XP $P3 I thought she had gotten a virus on it, but it comes up clean with scans by F-Prot, MRT and Malwarebytes. Anyone else had this problem?

CPU mining days are over. With your notebook you're chances to mine Bitcoins are very small. I guess you get something between 2 and 7 Mhash's per second. With today's GPU cards people are mining 100 times faster then you. P.S. A long shot but maybe your CPU is overheating and the notebook goes into sleep mode to cool down?

I understand that. But still the machine should not go into sleep mode when running the miner program. I don't think it's temp related since the miner was only running for a few minutes. But the machine itself had been on all day. I did download Speedfan though to monitor temp the next time I give it a try. At this point in time I have no machines with GPU's so CPU miners is all I have to work with until my card comes in. Thanks, Sam |
