FAH makes GPU driver fail (official 13.9 and beta 13.11v9.2)

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

It's a cheap Zotac AD04 with 8 GB of RAM (I've set it to 7 GB for the system, and 1 GB for the GPU)

Things I've noticed:
  • The GPU on my E-450 isn't Wrestler (FAH bug?). It's Zacate.
  • It takes a few minutes of Core_17 folding to make the GPU driver crash (tested on official "13.9" and beta "13.11 v9.2")
  • After it makes the GPU driver hang, the machine restarts the GPU driver but anything that has to do with the GPU gets reeealy slow, even after closing FAH.
  • There's no log on FAH that indicates any errors on the GPU side even after the GPU driver crash.
  • Progress on the GPU side stays at 0.00% although it does complete a few steps.
  • CPU usage lowers to 50%, even on full mode.
  • Turning Folding Power to off for a while and turning it to Full again will make the GPU start folding again.
Log after setting it to off, closing FAH and starting it again:

Any more stuff I can add?

Is it a driver problem or is it a Core_17 problem? Should this GPU type be blacklisted because of this?

Thanks in advance. (Oh, and I understand if this thread isn't on your top priorities. This hardware is hardly worth the fuss, but who knows... you might find bugs to squish on other hardware thanks to this info) Cheers!

Re: FAH makes GPU driver fail (official 13.9 and beta 13.11v

I'd like to see more of the log. Both of the above logs only contain about one minute of folding. What we need to see is progress or lack of it which takes time (hours or days).

Are you OC'ing the GPU in any way? Video driver failures are common for OC'ing. Folding stresses your video card far more than other activities so any problems with it will likely show up and Folding requires accuracy in its calculations while applications like games are far less persnickety: If a pixel is mis-calculated then that won't cause a problem for a game but a miscalculation in folding is a disaster in the simulation it is running. Also, when your driver fails it will typically down-clock significantly causing every GPU activity to be sluggish. The only way to restore the clock rate is to reboot. It is also a common failure mode for the client upon a driver failure for FAHControl/Webcontrol to indicate GPU progress but the Log will indicate no GPU progress.

Most of the observations you describe are normal. Core_17 can take several minutes (pre-loading the WU) before starting to run. Lag is common when GPU folding. Your CPU is at 50% because the CPU WU you are folding is a single-core WU on a dual-core CPU. It is common for a new install to get a single-core WU when it first runs because the default is to run in medium mode which uses one less CPU core than full (i.e. 2-1 = 1 or 50%). After, the WU completes and if you maintain full mode successive WU's will use all the CPU cores.

The description for your GPU is merely cosmetic and doesn't affect folding in any way.

Welcome to the F@H Forum heffeque,

Can you please tell us what temperature the GPU is operating at while folding? You can use GPU-Z (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/) to get the idea of idle and load temperatures. If it is too hot, I would suggest that you set your CPU Slot to Finish and once done, see if the temperature drops to an acceptable level.

Hi, thanks for your kind welcome and quick replies!

No OC'ing and no down-clocking is going on. The whole thing consumes 25 Watts at the most (CPU+GPU is 18 W) so there's no down-clocking going on either.

CPU temperature: 52 ºC.
GPU temperature: 68 ºC.
System fan: 2368 RPM.

Here are some more logs:

Basically says that the CPU is doing stuff. No news from GPU after 6 hours.
Should I set it to "off" and to "full" again to see if the GPU starts working again?

Re: FAH makes GPU driver fail (official 13.9 and beta 13.11v

Post by PantherX »

During the 6 hours, is there any GPU Usage or is the GPU idle?

Also, from your log, it seems that you are not using a passkey (http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-passkey/). I would recommend that you get one so that you can take advantage of the bonus points program once you qualify for it.

Not sure what the bonus points are for, but I did the passkey thing anyway :-)

As for GPU Usage... I can leave the GPU-Z log going on tonight if it's helpful.

I'll reboot my system, I'll start GPU-Z and then I'll unpause FAH.

Generally unpausing FAH will make the driver fail about 5 to 10 minutes after that.
Maybe the Memory Usage will help clarify the problem.

Tomorrow I'll post GPU-Z's log and FAH's log.

Cheers!

In short, bonus points allows a donor to gain additional points for returning a WU before the Timeout. The quicker the WU is successfully returned, the higher the bonus points are. The reason is that WUs returned quicker than others are more valuable to F@H. We prefer quick returns as it allows the progress of the serial nature of the project to be faster and thus obtain more scientific data for analysis.

Driver failure isn't a good start. Let's hope it can be resolved once more data is made available.

Re: FAH makes GPU driver fail (official 13.9 and beta 13.11v

Post by 7im »

Zacate is the CPU core not the GPU core, so the GPU was correctly detected as an HD 6320, which has 80 shaders. While I would like to solve this driver crashing problem, it may be the device is simply underpowered and that could be the cause of the driver reset. And as you said, if may not be powerful enough to finish the WU before the deadlines.

Is there any way I can disable the GPU so that only the CPU does the job and doesn't make my GPU driver fail?
As for being underpowered... maybe, but it does other OpenCL stuff without problems.

I guess it's too much of a fuss to make this thing work with the GPU too :-/

From the GPU-Z log file, the only time duration that the GPU frequency dropped from 3300 MHz to 507.7 MHz was for about a minute starting at 22-11-13 1:23. Since the F@H Log is in UTC, am not sure of the time difference (accounting for the DST) so can't match-up the GPU-Z log to F@H log.

FAH's 12:43:53 coincides with GPU-Z's 13:43:53 (I live in Barcelona right now).

Hope that helps!

You probably never noticed, but you'll find all kinds of interesting information in the preamble to the log:
