Re: WUs downloaded+ finished but uploading results keep fail

I was using version 7.6.9 on both desktops. I tried updating the troublesome one to 7.6.13. It installed, but did it not begin computing. the Client Advanced Control showed "updating inactive"/ I installed it again after a windows update without luck. Then uninstalled it and reinstalled it...

WUs downloaded+ finished but uploading results keep failing

For at least the last 3 days one of my desktops has downloaded WUs, processed them and then been unable to successfully upload the results. There are now 6 completed WUs listed as 100% and a 7th it is working on at 77%. I cannot see it being the connection on my end as I have a second desktop sittin...

Re: My ranking keeps getting worse

Thank you for letting know there are NV exclusive projects. I was trying to make sense of what was happening. I chose my system to take into account power usage vs output. The GPUs are like having 2 65 watt bulbs on 24 hr/day. (The total inclucing the CPUs is around 225-250 Watts/hr if I fold with t...

Re: My ranking keeps getting worse

I am 2,500 out of 2.6 million. It isn't anyone new, no matter what hardware they have that are passing me this last month. My point is I was producing more points than the 150+ people who passed me before virus drew so many new members. At this ranking you are lucky to improve by 10 in a month and d...

My ranking keeps getting worse

I've been Folding At Home since 2011. My ranking this year varied between 2352 and 2360 until April. Now it is 2491. I had been folding on two desktops using the GPU only, but added the CPUs two weeks ago when WU's became scarce.. Both desktops have Intel I7 processors, one 4 cores the other 6. My r...

My FAH finishes a WU uploads the results then stops

I am running FAH only on my GPUs on two WIN 10 desktops. One sometimes finishes a work unit, uploads the results then will not seek a new WU. Nothing I have tried will get it to work except restarting my computer. I've tried pause then fold, quitting then restarting with no luck. Reloading the softw...

Re: A large change in my score

I did not overtake anyone I fell back in the ranking by 62 people when I was at 2593. On one machine I am currently averaging 100K per day and the other 70K, but I think the 70K is a function of the work units received as I am only using the gpus and they are identical. This big fall in ranking has ...

A large change in my score

I've been contributing to FAH since 2011. It took me two months to go from ranking 2648 to 2591 then in one day it rocketed to 2653. I am using the gpus on two computers full time. Both were on. Has there been a change in scoring as happened years ago? Date of last Work Unit 2018-06-07 06:17:51 Tota...

How do you check if CPU servers are functioning

In older versions of FAH there was a link that showed the status of various servers. In this version there is a link to a Work Server log that hasnt' been updated since 2012. Is there a usable link? Lately I have been waiting for hours or a day for WS assignment for CPU WUs. I am using version 7.4.4...

Re: Advanced Control reporting of work unit hung up at 99.99

Your suggestion of pausing the restarting does not work. However when I pause folding the WU information displayed either online or in Advanced Control changes to the proper data showing a completion of 73%. When I then choose fold again the data changes to the 99% figure on both web and advanced co...

Advanced Control reporting of work unit hung up at 99.99%

I am running FAH version 7.4.4 and using only a GPU slot on a windows 8.1 Intel I7 3770 computer. FAH works fine, but sometimes when I look at the Advanced Control screen it shows the WU as having completed 99.99% with an ETA of a few seconds. In reality FAH is working on a new WU as indicated by lo...

Re: I can't get GPU work packets (Fixed)

Wow. Deleting the queue.dat and unitinfo.txt did the trick. I am back in business.

Thank You,

I can't get GPU work packets

I am using FAH GPU version 6.41r2 and haven't been able to get a new work packet in days. I checked the status of GPU servers and all but one are full. Is there a reason that no new GPU projects seem to be available?

Thank you,

Re: Nvidia GT 240 drivers windows 7 update problem

The sound I lost was from the headphone and speaker jacks. This is the "onboard" sound and comes from the sound chips built into the motherboard. The bios tries to detect the presence of a sound card. If it finds one (or something it thinks is one) it turns off the onboard sound chip. This...
