yep you maxed out the cpu. probably because you had it open. reread the optimisation tips. it really only works if you have Empty4 minimised most of time. you can see the short spikes in my picture where i have opened it briefly. the last spike was when i put on 2i today, seems to be running ok so far.

can you please look at a longer timeframe (max possible) and upload another screenshot. thanks.

Thanks for your efforts, trendinator. I am really dumb in this sort of things. Later on I will have some time to read about the optimisations,

so on that chart you can see where the cpu has been throttled at 10% because theres no cpu credits available. this causes errors in HGB.
when the blue line (cpu credits) is rising then everything is ok! with the VPS you just want to set and forget without meddling with it too much.

don't worry, you're not dumb, we all make mistakes.

Okay, I got my things sorted out :yahoo:
Works nice now. I ran the optimisation script, did a reboot and will collect some cpu-credits. I now understand the whole system. Thanks.
Might now join the forward test with the VPS.

Great Thread!!
Don't know if HGB is the EA, you want to use.
As it can be quite consumptive in its current form.
Still working on an optimized version..

Hi Trendinator

First thank you for posting this free guide how to set up everything.

I was able to set up everything ok but now I am stuck as I dont know what to do with .rdp file. Your guide is written for Windows users.

Do you happen to know what steps to follow when installing it on Mac?
Thank you.

Educated myself about Remote Desktop Connection and trying to connect.

1/Open .rdp file
2/Asked to "Enter Your Credential"
3/ Username : Administrator
Password : provide password from screenshot
Domain : provide IP address from screenshot
4/Have an error message from screenshot

Even tried to put : "/Administrator" in username field.

I dont know what I am doing wrong.Searched Amazon support site but can not find any info.

Anybody know how to fix this please?

I don't put anything in the domain field, leave it blank.

Did you set the security group to allow connections from your IP? Read through the guide again. Not sure what the problem could be otherwise
