Waiting on Working server assignment: Waiting on Working unit:.

Work Server 192.0.2.1
Collection server 0.0.0.0

The computer keeps on cycling though:

Assigning a work server 192.0.2.1:8080
02:29:49:WARNING:WU13:FS01:WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80

This is a misleading report, but the fact is, your system is not configured correctly. Please post the first few pages of FAH's log.

The Assignment server will be found at 65.254.110.245 assign1.foldingathome.org which will assign a work server. Can you open http://assign1.foldingathome.org in your browser?

Your A6-3420M supports 4 threads which will be used by FAH once a WU is properly assigned. Unfortunately your GPUs are no longer supported.

These messages are from a GPU slot that has been configured by client installer, but none of your GPUs support double precision, so they can't be used by FAH. You can safely remove your GPU slot.

Can an integrated intel UHD 620 gpu be used?

No, Intel iGPUs are not supported.

It's possible that an AMD iGPU may be supported. In the (far distant) past, I had an AMD iGPU that was identified with a model number similar to those used on AMD dGPUs. I was able to configure it and enqueue a WU on it. I do not remember whether it was Species 4 or 5, which is important. Double Precision support is now required on all GPUs. If it was species 4 (no DP support) it would not receive and assignment now.

I do remember that it was terribly slow and would not meet the timeout so I abandoned the idea.

Can a "MSI GeForce GT 1030" graphic card fold at home?

Yes, it should be able to do GPU folding. It is towards the bottom end in processing speed so you may need to run fairly constantly to meet deadlines. But, people have successfully folded using GT 730's.

I ran a 1030 as a space filling card in a spare slot for a few weeks earlier this year, iirc it produced around 40-60K ppd.

The 2020 Support for windows has ended?

Windows 7 is due to reach End Of Life (EOL) on 14 January 2020, but a large number of the world's computers, most in corporate environments, are still running the nine-year-old system. Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015, with extended support running till 14 January 2020.

Was that the question?

You can still run FAH on a Windows 7 machine for a while.
And while it's less and less likely that flaws in Windows 7 are going to be found and exploited, there's still a chance that someone could access the data on your computer.
If you're just using it for FAH, you've got nothing to worry.
I would take any sensitive information off of the device though...

Check to make sure you are using a passkey on that computer. Folding 24/7 should be higher than that with a passkey.

I have a Nvidia GT 1030 GPU card that runs at 40% @ PDD 65,000. ( with Passkey code )
