Folding Forum

A lot of people have been having trouble with the 576*/577* projects and have been for quite some time. I used to post every time I'd get an UNSTABLE_MACHINE error code immediately upon running one of these WUs on my 8800GT. Yes, some people do seem to be able to run them successfully, and unfortuna...

I am in fact running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition. Running the 182.08 drivers. I tried many previous to that and still had the same issues. I see the 182.50 drivers out as of 4/2, so I'll put those on and report any issues I have with them. Hopefully, you won't hear from me again on these p...

Oh, and to answer your questions:

Overclocked? No
Insufficient 12v power? No
Overheating? No
Bad drivers? No, I've tried multiple drivers to fix the problem and they all give back the same error.
Defective GPU? No, I've tried multiple replacement cards (always the same make/model) to fix the problem.

Wow, I don't think I've ever run into a jerk like you Bruce. I'll have you know that I've been folding without any problem for a year or more now, with the exception of these projects. And it's not just me that has these issues with these projects, so back off bud. There is an issue with the project...

And got it again. How long does it take for the system to stop farming out a WU once it's marked bad?

I'll let you know if I see it again.

I'm not sure what you're doing is working. Got the same work unit again today, and of course it failed again. Been running fine since my previous post until now.

I believe it's the same one each time.

maybe after 2 attempts, or 4, or 6 ... I don't think it's really any concrete value. I've gotten lucky enough to get a new one right away, other times I have to wait 6 hours.
