Folding Forum

I'm not sure if there is another topic just like mine since this forum is VAST!
Whats happening on my computer is that its resetting the core after some time starting from 0 again. I'm running the cpu+gpu client. Everything started after i put in the gpu part. I would really be sad if all that computing power would go lost like that by having to the cpu part alone.
My current setup is this:

Intel E4600 dual
Nvidia 8500GT 256 Ram
2GB Kingston HyperTransferX 1066Mhz
Motherboard is a Gigabyte P35-DS3R
I'm Running on WinXP SP3
Also i have the following settings
CPU client: BigWU+Adv+NOT locked core
GPU client: Normal settings

Please help me people! I would really like to maximize my output to contribute to the project.

Hey Dragonxx,

Welcome to the forum. We are currently having a problem running the nvidia core on 8600s and lower. Your 8500Gs is probably just acting "normal". We are hoping to get a new core in the next week or so that addresses the problem.

If you post your Fahlog.txt file (paste text between the code tags; ) people can look at and tell if it is typical.

You can take a look at the threads on new nvidia cores 1.15 and 1.18 to get more details. Here is the most recent thread:

Ok guys, now this is what i usually get when running a GPU core.
