No work units?

Post by Tommyboy »

Hello, Long time folder first timer poster.

I recently installed a GT 730 (GK208) in my workstation. My CPU is folding nicely although I'm not getting any GPU work. I keep getting the following errors. This has been going on since I installed the card this past Friday.

16:50:50:WU00:FS01:Connecting to 171.64.65.35:80
16:50:51:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '171.64.65.35:80': Empty work server assignment
16:50:51:ERROR:WU00:FS01:Exception: Could not get an assignment

Is this a problem on my end of is FAH currently just out of work units for my GPU?



The following is the beginning of my log.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

Your problem is not the GPU, but your OS. The current GPU folding core requires at least Windows Vista, there is limited support for XP any more,

v6 support is even more limited than V7 when running XP.

Short of installing a new OS is there a workaround?

Install the free VMware Player to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine window, or Ubuntu.

No work around to make XP fold on GPUs. Only CPUs still fold on XP.
