FAH Core 21 stops working

Post by rickoic »

Windows 10 gives me the message that Fah Core 21 has stopped running and that it will contact me when a solution is available.

Been having this problem for several days and have tried the following:
1. Deleted the Core directory and made it download a new core. (Didn't work)
2. Deleted all of FAH and reinstalled after a reboot. (Didn't work)
3. Reseated all RAM sticks and GPU. (Didn't work)
4. Removed GPU and replaced it with another from another machine that it was working in. (Didn't Work)

Just saw the bad platform size line but I have no Idea what that means.

Below is the log entry from the last remove of FAH, reboot and then reinstall. Any ideas would be helpful.

Did Windows download and install a video driver update on your system? If it did, the updates from MS are often missing key components needed for folding such as OpenCL support. If that is what happened, then you will need to download the driver appropriate for your GPU from nVidia and install that. That is the usual reason for the "Bad platformId size" error message.

You may need to reinstall the folding client after reinstalling the drivers. It is recommended that updates to drivers be disabled in Windows Update on machines that are used for folding and driver updates be obtained directly from nVidia.

Checked with my NVIDIA GeForce Experience and it said that a new driver was available a couple of weeks ago. Notice apparently flew right past me. Installing it now to see if that fixes the problem. (fingers crossed)\Tks\

That fixed the problem. Been running over 12 hours without the error popping up.
