Folding Forum

hello,

I installed Folding@Home two days ago and successfully completed a WU for the project SARS-Cov-2. After that, the client indicates it's running but no identifiable information appears. It also looks like it's doing nothing CPU-wise and everything is GPU-wise, when at full power. When at light power, nothing runs at all, nor CPU nor GPU (while for my previous work unit, "light power" was driving properly the CPU while not using the GPU).

I am running on Windows 10, 12GB RAM, quad-core AMD 64 bits. The display says:

ready
Ready. -- 0 (0, 0, 0) 0.00 secs 0
Points per day
My computer has unknown time to complete this work unit


The problem is that I prefer to use CPU instead of GPU because my laptop is not fast enough to catch up with ETA's of GPU tasks. For example. The ETA of the current running task is 8 days but I have only 6 days left to complete it, so it's a waste of resources. Is there a way to deselect completely the use of GPU?

to sum up, I have two questions:

1/ is there a way to only run CPU's?
2/ Why the CPU side of the client does not currently indicate anything while it was working properly up until yesterday?

thank you

Has the CPU been used sometimes or have you never seen it working on a workunit?

open FAH advanced Control (left-click on the icon in the system tray).

click configure, then slots.
if there is a slot called "gpu", click it and then click remove in the bottom right.
then save.
gpu will no longer fold.

Regarding 1:
Under Windows, you can remove the GPU computing slot through the UI of the Advanced Control client.

• Right-click the tray icon, click Advanced Control.
• Click the Configure button in the toolbar.
• Lastly, remove the slot by following these steps.

Hi Jesse,

yes it has worked and completed a full working unit , it took about two days. Then nothing, just says "ready", but nothing else, and now at 0 %

Thank you HaloJones and uyaem for how to remove the gpu Unit.

As for the 0% work unit, I found this in the log, could it be the reason why no WU-CPU is currently running?

Hi,
too many People are Folding now ...
The Servers are Overloaded .. No Data Avaiable ATM ...
The Team is Working on it, so more Data will come
