GPU stuck at 0.00% + only Base points being credited ?

Post by DreamShard »

Hi, I am pretty new to the folding@home "thing" (started folding yesterday). I am running the GUI based client V7.1.52 I have had SMP : 4 running for a number of hours and I have finished two work units so SMP seems to be working fine :D

But I am having difficulty trying to get the GPU to work properly its been stuck at 0.00% for a number of hours now. It was originally giving me an error message saying OpenCl.dll not found so I went ahead and installed the AMD APP SDK v2 and I am not getting that message anymore, and everything seems fine, it says that it is running but its been stuck at 0.00%, Estimated time remaining : unknown for a couple of hours

It's an ATI Mobility HD Radeon 5650 with the latest drivers installed. I should add that the laptop has switchable graphics (the other card is Intel HD graphics) I have disabled the switch in my options so it doesn't switch anymore cause the laptop is plugged in 24/7).

Here are the log files :

and its been stuck at the value above ^ for a couple hours

Are there any flags that I need to add / is there something I am doing wrong ?

On an unrelated note, I have completed two work units on the Username : DreamShard with a passkey set and I seem to have only been awarded the base credits for example:

one of the work units log files said this

Code: Select all

03:34:22:WU01:FS01:0xa4:Folding@home Core Shutdown: FINISHED_UNIT
03:34:22:WU01:FS01:FahCore returned: FINISHED_UNIT (100 = 0x64)

03:34:50:WU01:FS01:Final credit estimate, [b]483.00 points[/b]

and again

Code: Select all

03:38:49:WU00:FS00:Upload 97.06%

03:38:51:WU00:FS00:Server responded WORK_ACK (400)
03:38:51:WU00:FS00:Final credit estimate, 497.00 points
the stats have credited the two units and everything but for some reason I have only gotten 2 * Base credit [180.60] and so my score is sitting at only 361.2 rather than around 990ish :(
It's not a big deal I was originally planning to fold anonymously anyways but I just thought it would be cool to have the points tracked.

Sorry for just dumping log files and random problems on you guys I honestly did try to fix it for a couple of hours, updated drivers, reinstalled FAHcontrol, tried setting GPU to 0 instead of -1 etc.. etc. but alas it was to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks !

Welcome to the forum DreamShard. You'll need to post the system part of the log so people can see which of your GPUs is being used and if it identified properly. As for the bonus points, after entering the passkey you need to complete 10 bonus qualified WUs before actually getting bonus points. GPU WUs don't count towards that total.

Initially, the bonus plan was adopted only for SMP projects. Over the past year or so, it has been extended to include many of the Uniprocessor projects, but not yet all of them. There have been hints that the bonus plan might someday be extended to include GPU projects someday, but there's no signs of it happening any time soon. (As with all future developments, there's never a prediction of when something might happen, if at all.)

I must have been tired when I posted earlier. Where are my manners? Welcome to foldingforum.org, DreamShard.

Yes, that's it.
