"No available GPUs"

[JimF]

"GPUs.txt" is 0 bytes (8/12/2015) and has nothing in it, which probably goes a long way to explaining it.

A number of persons running Windows 10 have also reported this problem recently, possibly a patch issued to all versions of Windows in the last week or two changed permissions on the app data folder and is preventing an updated GPUs.txt file from being saved. The work around so far has been to manually download the GPUs.txt file and place it in the directory where it belongs. There is a link to the download location in this topic - viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26208#p262892.

One other possibility is that a anti-malware or firewall setting has changed and is keeping the download of the file from completing as well.

Jepp, fah problems not win 10. Hehe.

I will get the file.

The permissions explanation sounds right to me; I don't have any anti-malware (not even Windows Defender) running, and have disabled Windows Firewall on this dedicated machine as well. I do have BOINC running, but only on the CPUs, and it didn't cause a problem before the shutdown. Otherwise, there is nothing on this machine.

One on my team run win 7 so is not only win 10 problems

[JimF]

It (GPU.txt) worked right away, after a reboot, and I got a Core_18 as usual.
But I did have to delete another CPU slot. If the Folding client control allowed us to select that up front (requested before I know), such carnage would not be necessary.

This person would be me, and I can confirm that I had this issue on a "fairly clean" win 7 46bit install, and reinstalling F@H as well as using client.xml from other setups did not work. GPUs.txt solved the issue instantly.

[7im]

That selective install request is not likely to be granted. It was available at one time, and then the installer was simplified for ease of use, and to maximize folding. Even the installer is now of a "set and forget" design.

[ArVee]

How are you getting gpus.txt?? I've been trying to get it from the link provided (https://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-relea ... c/GPUs.txt) since about 12 hours ago and the page won't load.

[Kjetil]

Copy and past to the folder,

[7im]

Go here: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-releases/public/

It should list some files, first of which is the GPUs.txt file.

In Windows, right click on the file and select Save Target As, then pick the location to save it.

[ArVee]

wow, the very minute I checked back here for a response, the page loaded upon about the 9000th page refresh request. I copy and pasted and sure enough, the first machine started folding. Core 18 as opposed to the usual 17, but that's probably because of the -beta flag I flew in an attempt to get things going. Now headed for the second machine. Thanks for the input.
Win 7 here so as recently noted, this isn't just a Win 10 thing, folks.

I have the same problem - I have run FAH under Win7 and Win8.1 - no problem. NVidia Titan, Titan Black, 780 ti and 980s - but, upgraded to Windows 10 - and FAH won't even see that there are GPUs!

Not the '20:14:09: GPUs: 0' - same thing for me.

What gives? NVidia site seems mute; Windows?

Download GPUs.txt here: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-releases/public/ and copy it into the same directory where you will find GPUs.txt as a 0kb file.

[bruce]

For those of you who have not yet downloaded the file manually, I believe this problem has been fixed, though you'll need to restart or reinstall FAHClient.

This was not a WIndows 10 problem. It was true for all NEW FAH installations (which just happened to be predominantly WIn-10).
