Folding @ home freezing your Ps3?

I cannot seem to run Folding @ home for any great lengths.. The first time I let it run overnight, I turn my TV on and the screen is black.. I press the PS button and the "Turn off System" and "Turn off Controller" shows, yet when I cancel it goes back to a black screen.. When I went to sleep the previous night, I noticed it said I had 5 hours left on the first folding. After it froze the next morning, I turn it off and back on and notice that it still says 5 hours left.. wtf?

Last night I let it run overnight again.. I turn my tv on just now and I can see the globe spinning, but it says "Preparing work" and its stuck at 100%.. so I press the PS button and select "Quit" and now its stuck in "Please Wait"

Anyone else having issues with f@h causing all sorts of wierd issues? I've left my ps3 on overnight many times... played it for 10 hours straight and not an issue ever.. the first couple times I run F@h and its biffing things up! wtf! I wont run F@H anymore if it does this crap.

HOME IS COMING THIS FALL 

f@h uses 100% CPU so yes it could cause problems.Radiozo

Actually it only uses 5 SPEs.

is folding@home a mandatory download with 1.6? Or is there an option to not download it with 1.6?m3Boarder32

F@H is a download option under the "Network" media bar once you have downloaded the 1.60 update.  Folding@Home is not included nor required with the 1.60 PS3 update
