FAH-unable to upload graphic card unit

[Thump553]

I had no problem in the past but I have been stuck at 100% on my graphics card for several days now. Reboot of computer, router etc makes no difference. Any idea how to cure or just wait it out?

Card is GEForce GT 240 if that matters. I'm wondering if they no longer support it.

Well F@H site says it's supported.

Maybe a file has just got corrupted? Unless someone else has a better idea I think you're going to need to delete or abort the WU.

I have 6 GPU clients, 4 ZETA and 2 regular, and they are all working, so sorry no advice here.

Thanks for the tips. Getting a bit frustrated. I couldn't locate any info where the WU are stored and was near the beginning of my CPU WU, so I completely uninstalled FAH (specifically including data), reinstalled it and configured. CPU is now running but GPU can't/won't download a WU, it's yellowed out. (Says waiting on assignment, GPU work server and collection server are both 0.0.0.0). I've done this twice, once standard install, once advanced, same results. I've decided to let it run as is for a day or so to see if the GPU gets going.

Any ideas at this point?

0 0 0 0? That can't be right surely?......

Have you changed drivers recently?

 

[Thump553]

No driver changes recently. Left it running all weekend (was gone), still no GPU work unit received. Apparently it is trying to get assignments from real servers-here is a portion of the most recent bit of the log:

Hmm, looks like their out of WUs?

Anyone else?

 

[Thump553]

That's my guess too, but odd that the problem started with an inability to upload a completed WU and also odd the problem has gone on since the middle of last week for me. You would think others here would be having the same problem.

It has happened to me in the past and usually when one of the work units hangs, it stays hung……………

If this were me, I would stop FAH by right clicking on the icon in task bar and select quit. Then go to: userid/AppData/Roaming/FAHClient/Work, and look for the GPU folder, probably folder 02 and delete it. Then X out back to the desktop. Reboot your computer, then restart the client and let it get a new work unit.

If that doesn’t clear up the problem, I would let the current cpu unit finish. (if it is near the end) If it has a ways to go then I would just shut down Folding again, uninstall FAH, and reboot.

Then reinstall FAH.

Pretty drastic but it has worked for me.

 

[Thump553]

Pokey: I'll try the deleting folder suggestion when I get home, but I've already done the uninstall FAH (including data) and reinstall routine twice-back on the 21st and the computer has been running continuously since then.

 

[Thump553]

Whatever the problem was it sorted itself out on its own. Was running normally this morning. Thanks for the tips.

lol

Glad it's sorted anyway .
