Hi All,

I want to participate to Folding@Home.
But after starting the Control center and F@H Client, I get an error at the GPU-side.
My GPU is an ATI Radeon HD5450.

Here the log.txt:

How can I solve this?
I've already installed the newest drivers and Catalyst control center...

So I hope you'll can help me.

Many Thanks,

Hello rikdegraaff, welcome to the forum.

What do you mean by, "...after starting the Control center and F@H Client" ?

Did you start one application (FAHControl), and then start the other (FAHClient)? Or did you start FAHControl and let FAHControl start FAHClient automatically?

What I meant was the last option.
So I started FAHControl and let FAHControl start FAHClient automatically...

I hope that we can solve this error.

Lost lifeline means the fah core died. Maybe you are over locked or overheated.

Also SMP probably needs to be reduced since your gpu is AMD.

According to that log the cores never even started. Something i noticed but have no idea if it means anything is these lines.

21:58:42: PID: 3804 -from the system section
21:58:42:Lost lifeline PID 3752, exiting -from the end

In my logs these numbers match. Did you maybe start up two copies of the client somehow?

And as Codysluder said you will want to set the smp slot to use 2 cores instead of 3 so your video card can have one.

Okay, thanks both for the possible solutions.
I gonna take a look at F@H and his settings.

Greetings, Rik
