F@H client trouble after BIOS update.

Post by burnindesirez02 »

I just updated the Bios on my laptop. I keep trying to start the F@H SMP client for my CPU on it and it keeps closing and when I reopen it, it starts folding like it would normally but quits for no reason.

My CPU gets fully utilized as well while it is open.

Welcome to foldingforum.org, burnindesirez02

"keeps closing" doesn't really give enough information to help you very much. Please find FAHlog.txt and show us what it says when it closes.

Obvious possiblities:
* The BIOS update may have problems. (Well, it was the last thing that you changed.)
* The laptop may be overheating. (FAH is probably puts the more Watts into heating your system than any other application that I know of.)
