Multiple P10502 WUs dumped, probably not bad WUs

The following 3 WUs failed immediately, got retried multiple times and finally dumped. I don't think they really are bad WUs, so if they got marked as such, you might want to unmark them. Don't know what went wrong, but my GPU2 folding seems to be running OK after a reboot. Going back to stock clocks and restarting the client wasn't enough.

To my knowledge once marked bad it becomes a permanent status that isn't reversible.

All three WUs have been completed by other folders for full points so there must have been a problem with the computer or GPU that only a reboot could fix. I've had similar but rare occurrences where it's happened to me and only the reboot would fix it. One possibility is that the card dropped down from 3D clocks to 2D but that's just one of many.

That type of failure does not mark the WU as bad.

You can check the TPF; if it jumped (took longer), then the GPU probably dropped to safe clocks.
