P7200 - several bad WUs?

Post by art_l_j_PlanetAMD64 »

I had a PRCG 7200 (11, 3, 497) with a TPF of 6 hours 8 minutes, so I "dumped" it the "correct" way by doing this:
  • Quit FAHControl and FAHClient
  • Open a Command Prompt window
  • cd to C:\Users\Art Johnson\AppData/Roaming\FAHClient
  • Execute the command:

    Code: Select all

    FAHClient --dump 02
    (02 was the Work Queue ID of the bad WU)
  • Here is the log file from doing that:

    Code: Select all

Is that TPF from the log, or just the estimated value shown in FAHControl? Initial estimates shown in FAHControl are often inaccurate, a WU needs to complete a frame or two before they settle down.

I'm sorry, but what you are not showing is the log with the bad TPF's. There are several potential causes of extremely bad TPF's not the least of which is an external application using high amounts of CPU on a single core. Just as a side note, occasionally even FAHControl itself can go nuts and start using a full core continuously.
