Folding Forum

Thanks! The last explanation was helpful. My CPU just acquired a WU and started folding again. Back to normal. Guess there was just a temporary shortage of WUs compatible with my CPU.

For my CPU, the WU shows an Assign Wait error with a red progress bar. The machine log shows entries like 20:42:25:I1:WU308:Requesting WU assignment for user Markhl team 66457 20:42:25:I1:OUT30:> POST https://assign6.foldingathome.org/api/assign HTTP/1.1 20:42:25:I1:OUT30:< HTTP/1.1 503 HTTP_SERVICE...

I shut the PC down each night and sometimes pause FAH to reduce surges in CPU fan noise. Is this setup OK for FAH? I just checked my Work Units at https://v8...

FAH is using my CPU and my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. A: It is not using my Intel HD Graphics 630 GPU. The log says: 00:32:58:WARNING:FS01:Guessi...
