GPU Folding PPD Crash

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

GPU Folding PPD Crash

Post by LonePalm »

This afternoon the PPD on my GPU suddenly crashed after folding about 5%. I normally get about 120K PPD. The time per frame went from 8 minutes to 31 minutes to now it is 93 minutes.

I tried rolling back the driver just in case an update happened without my realizing it. No change.

Please help.

I had something similar on the HD 7770 I was folding on with the 13001 work units (the same that you are having trouble with). The eta was so long that they would have expired before I could complete them. Seems like there is a problem with projects 13000 and 13001.

OK, this is seriously strange. I just looked at my folding client and found it back down to 8.5 minutes per frame.

One other thing. Last September I was having a problem with the GPU not downloading unless I rebooted the computer. That problem fixed itself in late October.

Now I have the same problem with the CPU instead of the GPU. No clue why.

There's a known problem with error recovery during uploading/downloading. If communications is interrupted for ANY reason, you'll have to reboot or at least restart the client before any more communications can take place. It has nothing to do with CPU vs. GPU.

I'm not sure that's your problem, but it's worth investigating.
