Hi!

This ist the 2nd time I 'loose' the work of 2 days processing.
I bootet my PC and got the message that fahCore_a7.exe has crashed. This is the last log. 2 days ago, when Ishotdown the PC, I had a workingunit about 70% done (+/- some percent), but this is gone. I believe, that it's a waste of energy, if the app continues to crash and restart work every day.

This is the last log, maybe someone can help:

Code: Select all

I'd recomend when you go to bed, you do one of two things:
* Click on FINISH in the advanced Client It'll finish the active assignment, upload the results, and it WILL NOT download and start the next WU.
* Click on PAUSE in the advanced client. wait a minute or two for the active WU to switch to the pause condidion. Then shut down your computer normally.

Either way, when you start up your computer the next morning, the progress should still be associated with the WU.

It may not be your problem, but that is not the newest driver for your graphics card.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/132845/

Is the latest and last driver for that old a card.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Sumsum,

Please note that this error:
ERROR:Guru Meditation

Is generally caused by corrupted checkpoints. That can happen due to few reasons; improper shutdown, anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-spyware/anti-ransomware, corrupted files, storage issues. In your case, you stated that the issue happens when turning off your system and then later turning it on. The reason is that sometime, the OS don't provide enough time for the data to be successfully flushed to the disk and verified before the OS stops the process. Thus, bruce's suggestion is a potential solution for you.

Thank you all, I'll try that next time.

I wonder because of a newer Driver, autoupdate should have updated it. Anyway, I disabled GPU, as I felt, that it producing a lot of head while not performing very well. Heat means loudness and that's not optimal for Homeoffice. That was different some years ago when I used the PC for gaming with headset on

Maybe I'll find a way to change shutdown-timeout, if not, I'll use the 'pause'-way, even if fire-and-forget was, what I really wanted.

Thx!

I had that behaviour happen on Windows 10 a couple of times initially so always pause any folding before shutting down or restarting the machine now. In the evenings I tend to hit the Finish button in the Advanced GUI, then leave the machine on for at least 10 minutes after that says the slots are paused to let it clean up and cool down a bit before shutting the machine down.

One more thing...

Is there an expert option to unpause / start folding at startup? I learned to pause folding before shutdown, but skipping that restart would be nice, specially, when PC is in idle for some time after beeing startet before going into the bathroom.

I use this which means that whenever my system reboots, my GPU slot is paused always and I need to manually unpause it:
<pause-on-start v='true'/>

The default setting is false which means that it will start folding unless the previous state of the slot was Paused. In that case, it remembers that it was pause and will stick with that state even after restart. That is denoted by this flag:
<paused v='true'/>

In theory, you could setup a batch script that sends a telnet command to FAHClient instructing it to start folding after X seconds after start-up. Have a look at this topic for some pointers: viewtopic.php?f=106&t=33809
