Folding Forum

Is letting it work in phases no option? You can pause the fold, shut down your computer and resume the next day.

Hmm. Error compiling kernel sounds really bad. Do I understand you correctly that you had this second slot failing, then replaced the GPU in it and it continued failing? Because what I'm seeing right now makes me question the card itself. If in fact two different GPUs failed right there... might it ...

The card itself is whitelisted and known. Which client version do you have installed? Could you please post the first 200 lines of your log? Also: What have you done to add the card? *edit* Ive just noticed this is a RTX 2060 with TU104. For TU104 there is no entry as RTX 2060, also 2070 and 2080. N...

Hmm. Have you monitored your CPU temps prior? 95° is definitely in the critical area. Is there any OC going on? For stresstests you might also want to try Prime95, max power and heat production settings. FAH shouldnt be able to raise your temps above this test. Potentially, theres probably a range o...

When pausing, a checkpoint will be created. Likely something went wrong there.

@Thejaka: Nothing in there that should worry you. Most likely a small, temporary problem in a communication with one of the FAH servers. Will fix itself.

I dont see anything off in the logs right now. Out of curiosity: What PSU do you have?

If Jimbo Palmers solution doesnt work, try this first and then retry. Regarding the inability to add a GPU slot, I would suggest that you: Manually download the GPUs.txt file from here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt (right-click save as GPUs.txt) Exit the client Copy the GPUs.txt file from...

Server seems stable at the moment. Might just be a temporary overload. I'd suggest trying for another 12-24 hours. If the problem still exists at this point, please tell us.

Its possible that FAH may stress the GPU a bit more on a different level, producing this error. Its not the temps. I would go with decreasing the clock speed for maybe 100-200MHz and disabling any turbo features for further testing.

Could you please post your log including the first 100-200 lines? Regarding the attempts: Its absolutely possible that you struggle for a bit in the search for WUs. There are many folders active right now and there are simply not enough WUs for everyone. You should get some rather soon however. The ...

Glad to hear!

Click on "more info" and run it anyway.

Correct. The GPU probably died while not working for FAH. Still, everything HaloJones said applies.

The staff is working on getting more GPU WUs out. If your timer for the next WU request goes up to multiple hours, you can pause the idle slot for a minute and then restart it. This resets the timer.
