Folding crashes over and over again...

Post by TPAGuy1776 »

v7.6.13

All of a sudden with no changes to my system nor software version of FAH, WU's crash at about 5%, downloads a new WU, and then repeats the cycle.

What did it say before the CORE_RESTART and after the BAD_WU?

The number of restarts is limited. The WU should report the problem to the server and move on to another WU.

The only messages I received was what I posted above.

My system folds perfectly with CPU, but fails now on GPU. I'm going to test BOINC to see if that's operational or if it fails too.

Maybe it is just a driver issue that can happen after Windows update. Download and install driver manually from nvidia.com or amd.com

I have noticed recently more and more often that my GPU and CPU pick up work units that have been returned as faulty by others, sometimes I'm the 3rd client after 2 faults. I was wondering if that is due to overclocking or changes on FAH's side.
Reading other threads on this forum it seems that dumping of WUs is becoming the new hobby of those who feel assigned WUs are too big or too small and therefore don't allow for optimal use of the hardware... :roll:

Those would not be the only messages, do you have any of the filters checked? Those messages look like what would be shown with the Error filter checked, if so uncheck it. You can also use Refresh to reload the log file from the beginning, uncheck Follow to keep the log window from updating new messages will make it easier to copy specific groups of messages.

You can also access the log file directly from the data directory and open it in a text editor. The previous 16 log files are also kept there in folder named 'logs'.

Is FAHCore_22 running on "idle"? There's a known problem with v0.0.10 and PAUSE which will be fixed in the next version. Please avoid running "on idle"
