But you're not running as service, so it doesn't matter.

Let's back up a step here. 63-99 error is usually a permissions problem, especially when seen at client startup. The client can't start folding because it lacks access to some part of the folding setup. So let's recheck the basics. Tried various drivers versions... didn't help. Has the right client version, v6.41, Next...

Atom, please post the Target: and StartIn: settings from the shortcut you are using to launch the Systray client.

Thanks, 7im, the bit about the error being related to permissions is news to me. Here's the info you requested:

target "C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 0

start in "C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu"

I actually don't think it's permission-related. I have another three-way machine with 450s in it that has been running like a top for a while. Each GPU has completed more than 100 WU (as many as 124) and yesterday entered an EUE pause. Today each card started throwing "Corestatus = 63 (99)" errors. I can't see how permissions were fine yesterday and not fine today, when nobody has touched the machine at all.

Drivers didn't change overnight. Permissions didn't change overnight. The only thing that changed were the work units. I was actually watching the machine as two GPUs completed work units, uploaded their results, then downloaded new work units. THAT'S when they threw the error. After completing 124 work units, I don't think it's a generic driver issue. It seems like the core either wasn't shut down correctly, or wasn't started correctly.

It's possible that Project: 6801 (Run 6018, Clone 3, Gen 9) is a bad WU but that's difficult to establish. I see no evidence of the client making an error report to the server and there are no other reports regarding this WU.

It's strange, though, because you did get credit for the other WU

Hi Atom (team 37726),
Your WU (P6801 R4184 C3 G31) was added to the stats database on 2011-03-26 15:05:32 for 1348 points of credit.

I actually don't think it's permission-related. I have another three-way machine with 450s in it that has been running like a top for a while. Each GPU has completed more than 100 WU (as many as 124) and yesterday entered an EUE pause. Today each card started throwing "Corestatus = 63 (99)" errors. I can't see how permissions were fine yesterday and not fine today, when nobody has touched the machine at all.

Drivers didn't change overnight. Permissions didn't change overnight. The only thing that changed were the work units. I was actually watching the machine as two GPUs completed work units, uploaded their results, then downloaded new work units. THAT'S when they threw the error. After completing 124 work units, I don't think it's a generic driver issue. It seems like the core either wasn't shut down correctly, or wasn't started correctly.

Actually, you just answered your own question there at the end.

Permissions aren't always directly user account related. Many times it's file related. As you said, fahcore didn't stop or start correctly, likely causing a work unit data file corruption. And when the client "can't read the WU data file" it can't tell the different between a locked file, and a corrupted file. The end result is the exact same error. 63/99

Stop the client, delete the work folder, queue.dat file, unitinfo.txt file, and start the client again. Fixed?

[Atom]

Yeah, I cleaned up the offending data files, then simply restarted and it's off to the races again.

I'm going to change the title and make this about what might be a bad WU. That way if others have trouble with the same WU, they'll find this report.

I had just ran into this problem last night.

I will get the offending WU ids, it was causing all sorts of headaches for me until I found this post.. I thought it was my setup

Same exact WU?
