Latest GPU Client, usually when I get unstable machine I quit Folding@Home and then open it again, and it works, but it won't get past this error, how can I fix this?

Stop the gpu client.
In the directory where you have your gpu client :

Delete :
queue.dat
unitinfo.txt
work directory

Edit client.cfg (if possible with an editor like UltraEdit) :
change the value of machineid

Thank you, its working now. Can any one explain why I needed to do that? What made it stop working? And does this mean all the work I did is invalid now?

The "unstable machine" error is designed to recognize hardware that is either defective or sufficiently overclocked or overheated that it can no longer make accurate calculations. Unfortunately I have seen situations where the WU itself is defective and it triggers the same error message. I have no way of knowing whether it's the WU or it's your hardware.

This error SHOULD stop your machine for 24 hours, and it's not doing that. The Work Server reassigned assumes (incorrectly) that the WU was corrupted during the download so it just re-sends the same WU. Hopefully this problem will be fixed either in the new client code or in the new server code.

In the portion of the log that you posted, no work was done, so the question about whether it was invalid or not doesn't really have an answer. If you want to dig up a log where some work was done, we can comment on what that log says.

You did successfully complete p5770 r13 c319 g1091 at 2009-11-01 18:18:43 (Stanford time)

Thanks for the info, sadly the log (status/log) doesn't go far back enough where work was successfully done.

Try reading directly the following files in the directory of your gpu client :
FAHlog.txt
FAHlog-Prev.txt

Both only go to Nov 2, doesn't show work that was successfully done.

Bumping because after a couple of days its doing the same thing.

Can some one tell me why this is happening?

Posted my log in a google doc since the forums says its to many characters
