So I have been getting the below for over 12 hours now. Any ideas ?

Looks like Patriot is getting the same error on one of his machines in this thread:

Here's part of his log file:

It makes me want to quit, when I go for days with these wierd errors, and no points. Over 24 hours of idle for a box that normally does 125k ppd.

 

[Markfw]

Well, my PPD will be down 125k PPD until they fix this.

I'd say check out World Community Grid. They offer a number of projects fighting cancer and other diseases - like F@H - and they have numerous projects so you are never starved for work.

Given that you are an "anchor" for our F@H team and have such a high individual standing within the project, I can understand why you might not want to make the switch.

But if it comes down to switching or quitting, please don't quit! 🙂

You could even leave the GPU's on F@H (pretty dependable work...) and move the CPU to WCG.

I echo blckgrffn's sentiments. Would be a shame to lose another hefty contributor to the team.

back to working, but now I get a crap 75k ppd unit
