GPU Folding auto runs after reboot - 7900XTX

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.

GPU Folding auto runs after reboot - 7900XTX

Post by DeadDoc »

If this is not the right section let me know. I figured this might be the best sub but could be jsut the basic program sub.

I recently upgraded to a MSI 7900 XTX from a GTX 970. Never had this issue prior and its been through several CPUs and versions of F@H. However, since running an AMD GPU, no matter if I had the program set to light power + paused, if I reboot Win10, so does my pause status on the GPU only. The 5900x CPU has never ran into this issue. Only a mild issue as this will cook power bill on restarts IF I don't check F@H, which can be random. (yay stability issues).

Anyone else running into this issue, is this exclusive to me, amd, 7000 series.

Better late than never? ... But thanks for asking because it led me to re-find a reddit post from Joe_H 5 years ago explaining " ... just add the option "pause-on-start" set to "true" using FAHControl's Configure. The FAHClient process uses almost no resources when folding is not active."

I had forgotten this on one of my devices and your query led me to re-find the settinmg I had used on all the others." These are all W10 and Intel and NVIDIA, so ...
