Nothing but Bad WUs for my GPU

Post by LonePalm »

I followed the instructions for Bad work units above. No fix.

I have had over 2000 bad work units today and despite successful turn ins, no points.

Here is my log file.

First of all, I would recommend upgrading to the Version 7 client. It will recognize your GPU correctly and assign WUs that are suitable for it. Version 6 has not been tested with FahCore_17 and it's not surprising that you're having troubles. The WUs are not bad ... they're just not the proper assignment for whatever GPU you actually have.

You do not get points for WUs that are not completed.

Please stop the client immediately. Allowing it to dump 2000 WUs that are probably NOT bad is a bad idea.

I have stopped the client. It dumped 2000 WUs before I knew anything was wrong.

How could it possibly dump that many WUs? Even the v6 client pauses itself for 24 hours to wait for the user to resolve the problem. The V7 client will disable the slot after 10 failed WUs. 2000 failed WUs in one day seems a stretch to me...

Installed and running. How do I use my FAHMon to monitor my WU progress?

I think you'll have to switch to HFM for 3rd party monitoring. Client v7 doesn't support log file parsing anymore, and AFAIK HFM is the only 3rd party monitoring utility which has been upgraded.
