Re: Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

Those should make some worthwhile contributions even if they are rather old.

It says I have completed 11, when I have actually completed about 2. It took me a while but I finally found my problem. While I was at work my girlfriend and her friends would get on my comp and cause it to crash, thus corrupting my WU.

Now I quit F@H whenever I'm not around and I haven't had any problems since, in fact I'm about 10 minutes from completing my next WU.

Re: Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

I wish that were my problem, but no one else touches my machine and I can't remember when it crashed last. I leave it running for days on end.

Re: Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

John, have you tried reinstalling FAH and trying the console client? If you have the console client at least you will have a log to look at.

I tried the console client with the same result. BTW, I can see the log with ver 5.03.

Re: Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

Can you post the log details?

Why don't you start a new thread in this forum. Looking at the log may provide some details.

Have you run a Prime95 stability test?

Re: Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

Hi Matt.
We've tried just about everything. A Prime Torture Test is crashing after about 6 hours. Memtest86 has run on both sticks for in excess of 8 hours each with no problems. StressCPU has also run for over eight hours. I've changed my video card and updated my BIOS all to no avail. In several cases I have run F@H in exces of 72 hours before it has crasshed; annoyingly when into the 3,000s of frames completed out of 4000. I've been that close. I have already completee one WU, so whatever is wrong must be very minor and that is making it harder to detect. Here is my latest log.
