Simulation Instability w/ SSE boost (-forceasm)

For my fellow grogs who have recieved the following error.
While using SSE Boost (-forceasm)

[14:46:15] Simulation instability has been encountered. The run has entered a
[14:46:15] state from which no further progress can be made.
[14:46:15] If you often see other project units terminating early like this
[14:46:15] too, you may wish to check the stability of your computer (issues
[14:46:15] such as high temperature, overclocking, etc.).

Simply right click on your graphical icon in your tray..
select configure and then click on the "Advanced" tab
Look for the Core Priority and click in the lower circle
"slightly higher" next just below it, move the bar to the second from last. and click ok.
This should stabilize your Wu. If problem occurs again, try third from last.
This will allow you to keep using the SSE boost which enabled even with 90% core is still faster the 3dNow w/ 100%CPU

If your CPU is an OC'd beast you might be squeezing all your can from here already and you might have to remove the (-forceasm)
tag from your "Target"



but it is your choice this just allows for another option.
Good luck and
