Fahcore_a7.exe error message

[eyedocbob]

Since yesterday I am getting the error message "Fahcore_a7.exe has stopped working". If I checks the stats it appears no wu's have been completed in several days. To this point the only thing I have tried to to stop and restart FAH which has not helped. Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

It might be a bad WU, but we need more details.

How to provide enough info to get helpful support.

You have configured FAH to run only when the computer is idle so it will be interrupted at any time that somebody uses the keyboard or moves the mouse. Thus it's not going to get much done when somebody is using the computer. Moreover, it can't get any processing done when you shut down the computer or it enters a power-saving (sleep) state.

Does your computer run overnight? Have you reconfigured your power-saving features to avoid sleep?

[eyedocbob]

The computer is idle probably 75%. This setup works well for me otherwise it slows the computer down too much when I do use it.
Should I delete the work unit since it obviously is not working?

[bruce]

WU01:FS00 is reporting an ERROR:Guru Meditation which indicates some type of file system corruption. That's an unusual error, so deleting the WU is probably a reasonable choice. I'd probably schedule a chkdsk just to confirm your filesystem isn't causing the error.

From the cmd window, I'd try "fahclient --send-command dump 01" which will probably be the cleanest way to do it.

Depending on your hardware, FAH can slow the computer down significantly but it's PROBABLY just the GPU slot. In my experience, it has not been useful to set the CPU slot to run only while idle -- but the choice is certainly yours. Try adding idle = false to the extra parameter section for the CPU slot. You probably won't be able to tell the difference.

[eyedocbob]

Thanks. I am not familiar with using the cmd window so I just deleted the WU from the data directory. Seems to be working fine now.
I will experiment with the idle settings to see what happens also.
