Folding Forum

Hi everyone, Thank you for your replies, it does sound like a challenging problem. I personally don't use folding@home for testing system stability, i did see it mentioned on youtube where by a creator said it was way to know if a gpu card was good. From what i understand the gpu's are loaded up and...

Hi Everyone, Would it be better to accept that if windows is going to force the Fahclient to close, that the software can save its current WU's, or have a somekind memoryfile in place so it could potentially recover. I appreciate that there probably is a reason why fahclient is built as it is, but i...

Hi Everyone, Windows updates causing WU's to fail, and strange PPD to be recorded Ive noticed on rare occasions that when ive let windows restart the computer's while im folding, that the 0xa8 WU's have failed and after restart the 0x27 is showing im running at say something silly like 300,000,000 P...

Hello again, My EVGA 1080 TI didnt take well to MSI Afterburner, but once i switched back to EVGA Precison X i was able to set my power target and just leave it to get on. The experience did some damage to my bonus having less WU's at the time, but after 2 weeks im back up above 80% again. I have un...

Hi, Running in high performance mode, no energy saving features, cpu set to minimum & maximum 99%, gpu just set to power target of now with PrecisionX @ 56%. Update: 2025-11-09 20:57 Ive been using MSI Afterburner the last couple of days instead of my normal EVGA PrecisionX OC, it could have bee...

Hi Bob, Many thanks for your reply, yes i agree I think there is an issue with project 18282, it would make sense its the one thats failed again and again since i posted earlier. Ill look for the correct place, and post a message. UPDATE: Im not a member of the beta team, hopefully they will see it ...

Hi, I continued to work the problem, and did some more research in to the CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700) issue. I came across this forum discussion regarding the same error. https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83404 I downloaded the latest drivers from here as i had the Nvidia Driver 560...

Good afternoon, 2025-09-11 -- CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700) I having trouble with "CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700)" causing WU's to fail. I running a AMD Ryzen 3 3300x 4 Core 8 Thread Processor, with a GPU "EVGA GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB BIOS (FTW3 Hybrid)". It seems to happen when i...

Hi, Yes, i believe that is correct. I have also worked out why "My Donar Profile" was not changing on the " https://stats.foldingathome.org/ " statistics page. To change your "My Donar Profile", left click the "Edit Name", and instead of rename your name, it w...

Hello, How long for Donar Statistics to update to a new name? So ive been folding on and off for many years, but ive just returned. Ive changed my username, email account so i have a new passkey, and ive uninstalled fah-client_8.4.9_AMD64.exe, and installed the new beta version fah-client_8.5.3_AMD6...

Hi Calxalot, I tried your suggestion, uninstalled the v8.4.9 current version, and installed the v8.5.3.Beta from here: https://foldingathome.org/beta/ Re attempted the register account, and it worked first time giving me this message "Your Folding@home account has been registered. You have been...

Hello, Ive been folding for 20+ years, and i recently came back and folded more in 2 days than i had over a few years previously with my geforce 1080 ti hybrid. However i have run in to a problem, that is really getting up my nose, and really putting me off. I wanted to change my username, and so i ...
