Folding at home crash and loaded different wu

Post by dgood »

from what I could tell, F@H crashed on my downstairs computer (athlon xp system) and I saw it at 5000/5000 like i'd finished a WU then I restarted it since I had the whole "send error message?" thing from microsoft. WhenI restarted it loaded the same WU my fx-60 was working on at the point it was at. So did I just lose that WU? since I haven't gotten any points for it. And why would it load the same one as my fx-60 at the same point. is that normal?. I'm using graphical version not for gpu. on both computers.

Quite often when there is a FAH crash it is caused by a system instability, (ie: hardware problem, overheating, overclocked too high), the information that has been recorded on the HDD does not meet expected parameters. When this occurs the Client will restart the work unit at the beginning. If this occurs more than three times on the same work unit the Client is supposed to request a new work unit.

If it does not request a new work unit you will have to delete the current work unit then it will ask for a new one.

I just reread yor post and realized I had addressed the wrong problem. You will have to let the WU run and see what happens. Sometimes everything will run fine upon a restart. It is really hard to say what is happening. If you could post the relevent parts of your FAH Log it might enable someone to determine what the problem is.

well it crashed sometime after completing like 5 work units on it. I don't have it running right now because i'm loading linux on it but I will look at the stuff when I get it back into windows after I get linux running on it. thanks for the reply though armstpe.
