Core 17 has suddenly started crashing

[ArVee]

No no, as you suggest, that would be redundant and overkill. The advice named both of them and I repeated it. In my case it was Afterburner which I otherwise found quite helpful but I've reverted to Everest in short bursts in its stead when needed.

[bruce]

Presumably, by shutting off both tools, the GPU has reverted to the default clock-speed. Also, presumably, you were using those tools to overclock. If these assumptions are correct, I doubt it was either (or both) of those tools that caused the GPU to be unstable, but rather a clock-speed that was too high for a GPU that runs an application that actually puts a heavy load on the GPU.

The hammer and tongs was a very good first step, and you did learn something, but perhaps some additional experimentation would clarify the actual issue out of several possibilities.

You've probably already seen comments saying that increasing the core clock is very important to FAH whereas adjusting memory clocks is rather unimportant. For games, the reverse is probably true. To some extent, if you reduce one, you may be able to increase the other slightly as total heat is probably the limiting factor.

[ArVee]

My experience with a number of systems is that the clock rates set by Afterburner at least (to be clear, I never ran both that and Precision at once) are retained whether either tool is being run or not, so the info is getting written and retained somewhere. The clocks are therefore still up at the same overclock that had run both Core 15 and Core 17 in the past, so something changed to cause the problem. Dust, goblins, who knows. Just as likely is something like the revised Core_17, not that I'm blaming it. On the fix and what was tried in getting there, what changed and was the ONLY change in the last and successful of a series of scenarios where constants were maintained apart from one change at a time, was the turning off of Afterburner. It's not necessary in any of my other folding systems but on that one it worked immediately and has continued to work a day later. I was surprised but just so delighted that I wasn't arguing. Must be the constant polling of the gpu that the utility must do, I don't know but that would be my guess.

Thank you for the reminder on mem clocks, Bruce, I've meant for a long time to get to trying reducing mem clocks below stock in an effort to see if it allowed a bit more upside on the shader side, just never thought it would net me much so never bothered, always something else to do, but I will now, given the reminder, probably this coming wknd.

Both tools have a check box option to load the profile with windows start, which also starts the application.

I had a similar problem, where the profile worked for weeks, then it started causing win7 not to fully boot, then restart, crash, restart, etc. When I booted to safe mode, and removed the profile (basically going back to defaults) the Windows crash stopped.

Past performance is no guarantee of future stability. Something always changes, drivers, WUs, FAHCores, etc. When you live on the edge of stability, you occasionally fall off the edge.

Ok, I'm back. I am the guy who started this thread originally and I have followed all the advice that was given to me. The last thing I did was update my video driver. Unfortunately after I did that update all that I was downloading was Core 15 WUs. I finally caught a Core 17 WU and it is still crashing. What should I do now, and is there a way to tell my client to ignore Core 17 WUs.

Not with V7. Core 15 is going end of life and soon there will only be core 17s.

I am with this guy. I have invested 4 hours of troubleshooting and testing to try to get a core 17wu to pass but they just keep failing right out of the gate.

I am trying to get this thing to do me more than 20K per day. I am on the EVGA Team and they raised the values beyond what this machine has been doing. HELP???

What driver version?

[Joe_H]

Do you also have the OpenCL support installed as part of the nVidia driver package? Without it Core_17 will not work, while Core_15 uses CUDA instead.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Time2Kill,

Please include the log file so that we can see your system configuration and F@H settings. Any error messages would be helpful too for troubleshooting your issue.

[Eagle]

Hello everyone,

using version 0.0.52, Core 17 crashes on my end, too.

nVidia driver package: 337.88
CUDA driver version: 8.17.13.3788 (CUDA 6.0.1)

The error is repeated several times until the slot finally fails. If you need any further information, please let me know.

Best regards,

When it errors on 0% it's more likely a bad WU and not a client or core crash. Also, FAHCores don't really crash (in a released version). They just report the error data from the WU.

beta cores are a different issue.

Please put the verbosity setting back to 3. All the extra data in the log is not help. The log only shows non-default config settings at level 3, and that's they data we want.

Sorry for the log spam.. Changed that accordingly - new config log:

Regarding the error, it doesn't happen at exactly 0%. It's mostly around 1% when the error happens - if that makes a difference.

Is the GPU overclocked?

Been folding a while and this just started? Or just started folding?

[Eagle]

No personal OC, but EVGA applied some higher clocks.
This specific GPU is folding for about a year now and until a couple of days/weeks, everything ran just fine.
