Um, how long did you wait? 2 minutes, 2 hours...? Did the client eventually try a different server?

[billford]

About half an hour and no, but if I've interpreted serverstats correctly that's a beta server and I don't have the beta flag set- maybe it's the AS that needs a kick?

[jadeshi]

I just moved the project on that server to advanced. Try using the advanced flag instead and see if that works. Serverstats is probably taking time to refresh. Thanks!

[billford]

Seems OK now- I forgot the golden rule for Windows machines… when in doubt, reboot

Same server, picked up a P9201 and is happily crunching.

It's already set to advanced, but whether it was coincidence or something else, a reboot fixed it

[jadeshi]

Glad you got it figured out.

[PantherX]

I would suggest that you update from V7.3.6 to V7.4.4 since V7.4.4 has the ability to connect to a back-up GPU AS while V7.3.6 doesn't (https://folding.stanford.edu/home/new-c ... st-v7-4-0/).

[billford]

Yes I know, but the backup server is on standby so wouldn't have helped in this case.

I intend to update to 7.4.4 when (if ever ) HFM is updated, but although I'll never be able to prove it I suspect that the problem this time was at my end. Jadeshi has indicated some events that may have contributed but when I think about it that machine had been running for about three weeks.

Which, from memory, is about two and a half weeks longer than it's safe to trust a Windows PC without a reboot
