Random quits.

[PP Mguire]

So all day I had my folding going and for some reason I had WU fails on my stock server (6000+ / 260) and randomly last night while I was sleeping my 580 and 465 (and 2500k) decided to stop folding yet the program said they were. Heat isn't an issue here as our apartment is ice cold and Texas hasen't started hitting the high 90's yet. All I had to do was reboot my main rig for them to fold again, but my server rebooting doesn't seem to work.

What does the folding log say?

What does the folding log say?

This is for my main rig.

Noon is when I checked my PC today and noticed it wasn't doing anything. Program said I was folding but I had no load on either so shut it down and restarted my PC.

My server just says that the WU machine has failed (unstable) and GPU will restart in 4 hours. The 6000+ keeps chugging along but the 260 keeps getting that error. I tested it for 2 hours under Furmark and completely fine. Fan at 100% so temps not an issue.

Sorry I meant the folding log file and not what FAH Tracker displays. I am not familiar with FAH Tracker(I use VMware w/ Ubuntu and the GPU console client) so I do not know if it logs the actual folding logs(it should though).

Check the folder where FAH Tracker is installed and see if there is an actual folding log file; it should be "fahlog.txt" or some other text file.

Just checked and it only has May 3rd from noon on up until now because I restarted. Same for my server.

If you are going to try to fold again be sure to check the folding logs for any errors.

I'm assuming you used trackers auto setup to find the gpu's. make sure in the config that the card is set to g80 and if advance methods is on turn it off, if it's off turn it on. this will get you a different set of WU's, if this doesn't fix the problem try loading the 285.xx stable driver. the 260 I had would fold fine for awhile then get one WU it didn't like , over and over and over. Check all the settings and if nothing else works delete the fahcore11.exe file. that's the actual client. tracker will D/l a new one automaticly. if all else fails delete the WU and start again.

What driver version are you using?

Using the latest WHQL which I think is the 296.10 for both setups. Been looking at logs and no failed WUs on the 260 anymore after I disabled CPU folding on the 6000+. It appears that whenever I go to bed my 580 stops folding for some reason. Only got 4 hours of sleep and when I came back it still said folding but the card had no load and it was obviously cooler in the place. Only thing I did was shut my monitors off.

What driver version are you using?

See above.

Have you considered giving v7 a try?

V7 of Tracker?

[werty316]

No, v7 of the official client: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/project...ki/BetaRelease

[PP Mguire]

No, v7 of the official client: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/project...ki/BetaRelease

Is it as easy to use as this Tracker program?

[thebluebumblebee]

Just turn off your screen saver.

[PP Mguire]

Just turn off your screen saver.

I don't use a screen saver or any power saving features.
