Folding Forum

Your GeForce GTX 760 uses a GK104 chip. You said you had 15 GPUs. Do any of them use a similar chip?

What is the make an model of your system? What Motherboard is in it? Do any of your GPUs use risers ... if so what speed? Is anything overclocked? Has your system crashed within say, the last month? If so, why?

I've been assuming you have a plain-vanilla system containing reliable hardware, but one of the possible causes for Bad State errors is anything than might cause hardware errors. I'd like to be able to rule that out.

bruce, you missed that SteveWillis also posted in the thread. He's the one with 15 GPUs.

Just thought I'd mention that all my gpus are 1080 and 1080TI except for one lonely 960 (iirc), including the TI that won't fold, spread over 4 pcs with 2 (including the one that won't fold now mining ETH),5,4, and 5 gpus respectively all running Linux Mint. The bad gpu was tried in multiple slots on multiple pcs and the problem followed the bad gpu. I also tried underclocking both clock and memory in various combinations on that gpu but it didn't help. It generally would fold for a while and I'd get my hopes up but then before a WU would complete it would fail with a bad WU and then quickly start failing WUs over and over. The gpus are mostly on risers but I didn't move the risers when I moved the problem gpu. The motherboards and memory were substantially similar on the rigs I tried it on and it just occurred to me that my most recent rig build (built since the problem developed) has a much different MB and memory and it might be worth the effort to try moving it to that rig but since it would be a lot of trouble and I'm not optimistic of success my inclination is to not bother. The problem gpu is currently in the box with 2 gpus and not on a riser.

I only brought it up at all thinking there is a remote possibility that the OP also has a flakey gpu.

Agreed. The possibility of a flakey GPU or a bad slot is exactly what I'm considering, but like I said earlier, that's really difficult for us to diagnose.
