I'm new to this.
Just installed F@H for my GTX260 (The machine is good & reliable (E8400 CPU @3.8G, XP32), GPU with slight factory OC (626Mhz), CPU & GPU OCCT tested).
Everything went well, it returned 3WU, until this WU that became extremely slow (2000 iterations in 10 minutes) around 0.5% (no more GPU activity (I see that with a 'Kill-a-watt' by a drop of the power consumed by the machine to the same level as when the GPU is idle), no error reported)
I tried to restart it several times, it always slowed to a crawl around 9000 iterations and I ended up asking a new WU (deleting queue.dat & unitinfo.txt). Starting the visualization (GUI server) is not the cause as it happens with or without it.
I don't know if posting here would help diagnosing the problem.
Is that a common problem and should I expect it to happen often ?
