Folding Forum

Looks like it was dodgy VRAM. Card was replaced under warranty after it showed some errors in test. Seems to be running fine on the new card. Thanks for the support all of you who offered assistance through this process

Have raised it with the vendors support team

both of them are throwing errors. Seems to vary between runs

Yes they are and as far as I can see the strings in the other error are also the same each time

Didn't work this time around so nothing useful in the go. I am struggling to think where to go next with this. Seems really odd that a relatively high spec machine can't get this to run, especially as it was running absolutely fine for a quite a while before these issues

PantherX yes the job that it starts before the slot is edited to GPU runs on the CPU as you say but the next job it picks up runs on the GPU and you can see the load on the GPU is task manager confirming that is what is happening. Will have a look at the log and post in a few minutes if I can find t...

Well not sure if this is progress or just frustrating. Did a clean re-instal of windows and the OpenCl benchmark ran fine. tried FAH and it failed as before. Oddly if I delete the GPU slot, create a second CPU slot and then edit it to be a GPU slot, the first GPU job it tries runs ok but all subsequ...

yes it is in that error. On the otherone it is a long string, i couldn't see any difference but might have missed something

This is the card https://www.zotac.com/pk/product/graphi ... -mini#spec
Not sure about characteristics but the link is to the spec page
As far as i can see the error pairing are identical each time

Just realised that there are a pair of nvlddmkm errors for each failure. The pair for a failure are below.

Yes it is very odd. As far as I can see it had run fine up until that point. I looked at the previous 12 hours of errors on the basis that it was unlikely to have gone longer than that without finding a valid WU to try running. None of the other errors I have listed above seem related. Will see if I...

Thanks. The driver I am using is the Studio version of the Games driver that you have. I have tried both of them and get the Studio driver was recommended by Nvidia as a possible solution

The first instance I can see of that nvlddmkm error is on 8/5 at 03:48 which ties in with when the issue started in the 12 hrs preceding that there are a number of errors Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM Date: 07/05/2020 16:52:07 Event ID: 10016 Task Category: None Level: W...

This is the top of log file. Hard to count the rows but i think that has at least the first 100 . the GPU is paused at this point as it has been causing so many issues *********************** Log Started 2020-05-16T10:35:42Z *********************** 10:35:42:Trying to access database... 10:35:42:Succ...

OK: Issue at least partially understood. As the hashcat errors report as a resource issue and involve timeouts I decided to try and run it with the CPU folding paused and it then runs fine so the issue seems to be that it is not now capable of running the CPU and GPU folding concurrently. Maybe a re...
