Gpu not downloading

Post by dschief »

Returning to the "fold" after a LONG hiatus, 2 win7Pro -64 boxes came up with no issues
each box has 2x GTX760's with 373.06 driver

the problem box is XP-Pro-32 { have to keep xp for other apps.} it has a single GTX760
with 368.81 driver. the fah software installed with no hiccups, did the config with user data
& passkey. I set it at full but nothing is downloading, the slot shows Ready & the card ID is right

So far 7 attempts at getting a Wu have failed

Any and all ideas welcome

Support for WindowsXP is less than ideal. Run FAH on the Win7 boxes and let BOINC use XP.

thanks for the confirmation, I dug a bit deeper, & found posts from 2015 similar issues.
I have a couple of spare drives, will tinker with & do a Win7 pro-64 build and swap drives
when I need XP

I think the last GPU core (core 21) can't run on XP, and there are less and less projects using the older GPU cores (17 and 18) ... so it would be a good idea to move to a more modern OS (or to switch to Linux).
