I was wondering that does it harm my rewards if i reboot computer (let it cool few hours) and shares in miner starts from beginning?
(i'm not sure how long my computer has been mining in a row)
My GPU and HDD's started to make odd sounds and fan speed is 70% ..
@m4rkiz
Thanks for info, i was getting really worried about that weird noise coming from GPU. i thought it's end of road for that
Shutting down compputer and blowing possible dust away with air duster.
I would recommend against giving your computer a 'cooling cycle'. Heating up and cooling down puts more wear on your hardware than you would get letting it do what it was designed to do. The chips themselves will become useless for modern software long before actually -dying- from use. Sounds like you may need to replace a fan there though or you could burn out the chip (much more common).
Keeping it clean is a good start.
Bitcoin/Miners don't really do much hard drive activity, you may want to replace it if it's old while you can still read the data. I'd back up your wallet.dat to a usb drive NOW.
