Some days, I really hate F@H

So I wanted to finally play with my OC. I was @ 4070 on my E8400 for a week @ 2350 ppd ! (under win2k)., no problem

So I put some new OCZ 4 gig PC-8500 reaper in to try and get higher. So I try 4250, and F@H immediately goes EUE, but windows is OK, so I go 4125, and again windows is OK, but F@H goes EUE. So I go back to 4070, and windows is still OK and still does EUE. So then I go back to my Kingston Hyperx PC 7200, so everything is back to where is was, every memory and voltage and bios setting and all. Still EUE, client-core communications error, immediate.

WTF ????? Any ideas ?
 
4.07GHz was already an awesome speed:Q, of course it's never enough 😀
Btw I think 170 MHz jump on the 1st attempt is maybe a little greedy😉

Could the client of been corrupted by the 1st o/c failure? Tried re-installing it?
 
I went back to stock. I de-installed and re-installed about 3 times, I tied copying from my old F@H directory, re-downloaded, installed, so many times I forgot the exact solution, but now I am re-crunching an old unit, at least its working...

I really hate the expiring beta clients. I forgot to mention that at the same time I overclocked, I also had to reinstall a new client, as the old one expired. I will be going back to 4.07 today, but I will leave it there.

Thanks for the suggestion.
 
I think we're gonna have to get you a special tag.

I suggest LENNY

Sounds remarkably like my frustration when the new 6.2 client was released.

Updated two of my three machines, with the result that they both simply stopped crunching. As in, the client graphic said "Core is not running" and no WUs were turned in for over a day and a half. The third box crapped out when the old client expired (the day after I upgraded the other two units).

I tried different nV drivers (177.35, 177.41, 177.79) new installation of CUDA drivers, uninstall & complete wipe of F@H program and reinstall and couldn't get anything to work on those two boxes at all. Then the third box went down when the client expired.

So on the third day I decided to try again and viola! it worked fine the first time I tried it. Just restarted the client on my main box and there it goes, crunching happily away. Back in business but with more grey in my hair than before.
 
I had one SMP/GPU machine that seemed to be throwing an awful lot of SMP early unit end failures.... used add/remove programs to uninstall, emptied the directory I used for SMP completely, re-installed the MPICH version and it has crunched with no EUE's since (~3 days now)

Does hair still turn grey after it falls out? :roll:
 
Now I have had to turn off half my farm. Its over 100f here, and my central AC can't keep up...

(note to self: upgrade to a 4 ton AC unit from 2.5....Should resolve issue in hot weather)

You should ask Dr. Pande to help pay for that.
 
Yea, it got up to 78f, and I only have 5 boxes running now ! 2.5 ton for 1306 sq feet is just not enough !
