I'm having an issue getting a couple of video capture devices to work in a Win 7 x64 system. The devices in question are a Logitech C920 webcam and a PCI-E Hauppage TV card. Both were working flawlessly earlier this year and then they stopped functioning. The TV card just shows a blank picture...

I noticed there has been some talk about a new GPU core for beta WUs or somesuch, and my clients attempted a force installation of the new core tonight without success. I'm still using the console client and I get the endless repeated cycle of downloaded new core, error, redownload, etc., then...

I uploaded a -bigadv WU yesterday that I didn't seem to have gained credit for. This would have been sometime in the mid to late morning if I have the time of completion right. How do I confirm if this WU was received and accredited for?

I have a GTX 295 card that has been experiencing slowdowns and crashes on one GPU no matter what frequency I set the card at. Even at stock speeds one client will be processing at slower speeds, sometimes more than 50% slower than the second GPU or it fluctuates up and down wildly. What could be...

I have one system that has developed a rather annoying problem. Every couple of hours I notice one or more of its GPU clients stalls and the GPU core becomes idle. The client appears to be working but it isn't, and it won't resume unless I restart the client or 'coax' it with the affinity tool...

I have a system with very slow performance GPU3 console clients on two 8800GT cards. Their GPU2 performance is normal, but when switched over to the GPU3 client they slow down to almost half the expected performance levels at over 5:00 TPF. :confused: There is another card in this system and...

I have two 8800GT cards running in Windows 7 64 bit. I was previously using v195.62 drivers and when I attempted to install the v258.96 drivers I received the error, "You are running a 32 bit version of NVIDIA uninstaller on a 64 bit system (Binary type I386) Wrong version of uninstaller...

I'm getting a strange error in my GPU clients that must be some kind of glitch. This error keeps on repeating unless I delete the work folder and queue.dat file... [05:25:13] - Preparing to get new work unit... [05:25:13] + Attempting to get work packet [05:25:13] - Connecting to assignment...

For all you SR-2 lovers, there's a guy who is building a Coolit TEC cooled SR-2 system in the cases forum right over here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1543663 Question is, does he fold? ;) Some highlight pics:

Anyone know of a dual analog TV tuner card with included software that supports PIP? I also need this to be compatible in Win 7 64-bit. Probably asking for a lot but one never knows what's out there... TIA

I have a system that is exhibiting a bizarre CPU load profile with the SMP client. I tried Windows and Linux SMP clients and they both demonstrated the same wild fluctuations in CPU load. Basically, the graph in Task Manager shows unsteady, jagged lines and Core Temp application does not report...

I am running Win 7 64-bit on several systems with GPU2 clients. The one thing they have in common that I never see in Win XP is a GPU error that makes itself evident very frequently. The error line is: Could not open/read logfile=<work/wudata_08.log>; Cosm status=-1 Anyone ever see this...

I'm thinking of revising the GPU components in my farm due to aging architectures and looking to optimize CPU usage for SMP performance. I'm not as interested in the highest performing video card setup to the extent I'm interested in obtaining maximum efficiency in terms of CPU usage for total...

One of my -bigadv machines is having problems with P2686 WUs. I had 2 of these WUs crash without apparent reason, even at stock frequencies. I can't continue running -bigadv on this machine without identifying the problem. It only seems to affect this particular WU and no other. Anyone heard...

I have two -bigadv WUs being processed on different systems with the same run clone gen. These WUs were released more than a day apart. I'm assuming that credit will be assigned for both when completed? :confused:

I have a system that won't DL a -bigadv WU no matter what I try. This is an ongoing problem for several days now since the beginning of last weekend. My other systems have had no problem in that time, and I don't see any posts about this being an issue lately, so must assume there is a...

Looks like PDC of Pande Lab is outproducing everyone by a huge margin, even EVGA. I nearly forgot they were around. Anyone catch news what is happening and why they are producing again after 6 months? http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=1 On another note, two of my...

Anyone with a 9800 GX2 can inform me what your temperatures are like on a typical hot day? One of my GPUs is running high and throttling, lowering the performance of one client substantially. I never seen this before (only had the card a couple of months) and checked that the fan is running at...

Anyone experiment with this setting in the client config for -bigadv WUs? I changed the setting to 'yes' on one of my A2 -bigadv WUs and the TPF dropped at least one minute. I haven't the courage to stop and start a P2684 to change the setting, but will do it when the WU completes (if it does)...

Anyone notice when restarting the SMP2 client that performance drops significantly? I was wondering if I was mistaken but have seen this too many times now that I know it's no my imagination. PPD drops and TPFs increase. This isn't the case only with crashes, regular shutdowns and restarts also...

I have an 8800GT card that is processing very low compared to the other 3 cards in this system. The PPD is about 1500 lower than normal for a 450 pointer. Temperatures are reported very high for this card (107deg) however, nothing makes sense about the readings. First, the fan is working at over...

I have problems sending -bigadv WUs from one of my clients installed in an EVGA VM. The client attempts to upload results and my connection is tied up for a long time as expected but the WU does not actually upload successfully. Meanwhile when this happens, memory usage is always at full and...

I have a recent SMP2 client installed and neither FahSpy or HFM report the bonus calculation. I installed the client several times, it is processing normally and the frame times seem to be on the mark for this system, yet monitoring programs are reporting a bonus factor of 1.0. I see only the...

I might be building an i7 system later in the season and looking to see what the best components are out there for a folding box. The system will be running -bigadv WUs with the possibility of one GPU client, but that isn't certain at this point. I already have a micro-ATX case and want to stick...

It has been getting much warmer here with summer-like temperatures for the rest of the weekend. I just checked my GPUs and did not like what I am seeing. Many of my GPUs running lambda WUs are approaching 110 degrees now, even with auxiliary cooling like 120mm fans blowing on the side of the...

I'm having frequent problems with the P10xxx WUs recently launched by Stanford. Seems they are crashing frequently and many times this leaves me with no alternative but to reboot my system. Fed up with restarting systems just to get my GPU clients working again that should work without a...

I continue receiving an error in my GPU clients but only on my Win 7 machines. The error lines are the following: Error. Could not get length of results file work/wuresults04.dat Error. Could not read unit 04 file. Removing from queue. Usually this error occurs at WU completion but the WU...

I thought didn't have any issues with Windows A3 WUs and my nVidia GPU clients, but I was dead wrong. The new SMP2 client is not working properly in conjunction with my GPU clients. The A3 WUs just stall mid way through. This has affected two of my systems and they are very different...

The P6318 WUs recently completed are not uploading and I get the following lines of error. Does anyone know what this could be? [08:38:19] Loaded queue successfully. [08:38:19] + Benchmarking ... [08:38:22] [08:38:22] - Error: Length of work/wuresults_01.dat (6948912) exceeds packet limit set...

How many people have used the EVGA VM for processing regular SMP units? I tried this VM on several systems and all but one showed less performance than my regular distro. In some cases, the performance drop is huge. Also, the amount of memory consumed by the OS seems to be more than my regular...

I have two separate systems undergoing errors with their SMP clients at 100% WU completion. The last half dozen WUs completed without uploading results due to these errors when the WU finishes. Here is what I receive at completion: - Error: Could not get length of results...

One of my systems isn't responding to affinity tools that set core priority for GPU clients. I have tried Bill's Process Manager and Win AFC. Neither of these seem to work. The GPUs starve for CPU cycles if I don't isolate them to a core. I also have a VM running in this system that has been set...

Anyone monitoring their Linux clients with FahSpy? If so, what did you do to get the monitoring program to detect your Linux clients? TIA

I'm trying out different affinity tools and it seems that Bill's Process Manager is easiest and works well with most of my systems. I've been using it on one of my Ati GPU systems since summer. Now, I'm attempting to install it on the rest of my farm since I'm most familiar with it and it works...

Several of my Linux VMs are experiencing an odd problem of not being able to upload completed WUs. The client makes an attempt to upload results but just freezes at the point after the last frame but before the upload begins. I tried restarting the client, restarting the VM and using flags like...

Those running multiple VMs on one system, how many cores have you discovered are optimal for running the SMP client? In the past, I was forced to run 2 cores on each like everyone else, but things are different now with the release of VM Player. 3.0. Assuming memory resources are not a major...

I have a completed SMP WU in one Linux VM that became corrupted from a system crash. Now, networking functions don't work and I cannot upload the WU. Can I transfer the completed WU to another VM installation and upload it from there or am I out of luck?

Another problem I'm experiencing is Stanford servers are assigning what appears to be duplicate WUs across my GPU clients. This has happened before earlier in the year. Anyone else seeing this?

One of my systems is running four nVidia 8800GT cards and lately I've been noticing a bizarre performance phenomenon. On all the WUs, I see the expected performance but the 353pt WUs have dropped a massive 1600 PPD on each card!! That comes out to 6400 PPD drop on that machine when all the cards...
