Am I getting bad WU, or is it my GPU

Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 2:36 am

I have had issues with my GPU failing in the past. It has run fairly well recently. I went away on the 5th and came back it was in a failed state. It kept adding WU to my account, but no WU were being processed. Is there any way to subtract the false WU? What am I doing wrong in my set up? I have the Nvidia 555m on a dell i7. Driver version 8.17.12.8577. It will not let me get the requirements in for the extra credits. The CPU folds just fine. and they work together ok. The GPU fails even without the CPU running.

Re: Am I getting bad WU, or is it my GPU

Most of the WU's that failed on your GPU have since been successfully processed by other folders. So it appears your GPU is suspect. Is it overclocked at all? If so you should return the GPU to normal settings. You may also need to upgrade the video driver to a more recent version, or the OEM driver you are using may not include OpenCL support. If OpenCL is not included, you should see if there is a driver download available from nVidia that supports your GPU.

Thank you for checking out the WU. It folds great for a about a week, and then it just fails, and the driver says that Open CL is in the list. Would it work if there was no support for Open CL? I have not overclocked the GPU, but it may come from Dell that way. I think that is done in the bios, and I have only looked at the bios once since I purchased the laptop 2 years ago. I suppose the only thing left is to update the driver. It is not the latest, but it is stable and has never given me any issues.

I'm just guessing but my best shot is a thermal issue is starting to crop up. I know it is not a configuration issue because folding sometimes works. I also know that the problem is likely to be at your end because others are successfully completing those that you have failed. May I suggest that you monitor temps in the systray or log them to a file for later analysis. There are multiple free downloadable programs that can be used for such a purpose.

Many Laptops are hard to cool properly while GPU folding, which produces lots of heat. Over time the cooling system gets less efficient because of debris accumulating, a small obstruction in the cooling vents, or even the slow decrease in the thermal compounds efficiency between the chip and the heat sink can all factor in a decrease in cooling capability.

There are things that can be done to help, like making sure that nothing obstructs the vents, or using a can of compressed air to clean the debris out. However, even before any of that, just monitoring temperatures is a good step because it is free, easy, and not the least reason is that I could be wrong in my guess.

Thanks for the help. I took the laptop apart and cleaned out the dust that was building up on the fan. The air flow is back to original condition. The GPU still failed. I downloaded the Nvidia driver from Sept 2013 that has been recommended.

My WU count keeps going up and up, and it is like I get a few hundred points. Every time the GPU fails it registers that I have done 10 WU.

Edit with the new driver it has started a fold without going through the list of WU's. Here is hoping. If I remove the CPU slot will the TPF go down? The GPU is folding PRCG 13001 (424, 0, 43) with an ETA of 10 days. The TPF is 2hrs and 26 minutes.

What does this line mean? 17:02:17:WU01:FS01:0x17:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900

Welcome to the F@H Forum timtoflly,

Could you please post the initial section of the log file so that we can see what hardware and software FAHClient has detected and what your configuration is (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=26036)? Also, can you please state the Driver version you downloaded? GPU-Z (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/) can give you details about your driver.

This is a feature present in FahCore_17 version 0.0.52 and higher which if configured, will allow the GPU to pause folding for a time period once it reaches the configured temperature. By default, it is disabled but you can enable it if you want to.

I installed version 327.23 since that is what was recommended here in other threads.

Your config is fine. I do not believe you need to fiddle with it

Well, maybe the OP should manually config the CPU slot to use 6 CPUs:
/FahCore_a3.exe -dir 00 -suffix 01 -version 704 -lifeline 3360 -checkpoint 15 -np 7
CPU:7 rarely causes problems, and most if not all of the projects which have issues with it simply won't assign WUs for a CPU:7 slot. So CPU:7 may be a bit restrictive, even if it doesn't produce failed WUs at the moment.

@OP: if you want to crank every single available folding cycle out of the CPU, configure two CPU slots. CPU:6 + CPU:1 + GPU would keep both CPU and GPU as fully utilized as possible. OTOH, CPU:4 + GPU would be almost as good on a hyperthreaded quadcore such as the i7-2670QM, but the CPU would produce slightly less heat.

CPU slot doesn't seem to be the issue. Mobile and oem versions of the GPU tend to be scaled back and can sometimes be an issue. How many shaders does this card have?

Thanks for all the helpful posts. Over a week ago, I had throttled back the CPU to 6 cores. And then I turned it off altogether. I cannot do anything much when both CPU and GPU are folding.

There may have been some issues with the driver, because that is the last thing changed. Folding software seems to be optimizing better also. The GPU, I sadly found out today when taking the computer apart and cleaning the fan, is not a card, but is just a chip on the MB. It has 144 shaders 1180-1505 MHz.

Now that the air-vents have been cleaned, and the drivers updated, try the following:
* A CPU slot using 6 CPUs and leaving two for your activities. It can run 24x7 and I really doubt you'll notice it.
* A GPU slot configured to run when idle, which means it'll get a lot done while you're sleeping but like a screensaver, will not use any resources when you want to use the computer.
