Well, that depends on what you choose to call a GPU.

Your Intel Core i5-4670K CPU has an on-chip GPU which is known as an Intel HD Graphics 4600 device. FAH doesn't support it, but somehow you have installed the drivers for it, and that is confusing FAHClient.

im really bad at this stuff sorry.

idk what else to do.

Please send us a copy of a failing WU. The next time you see something like this:

Note that the part I quoted says WU02 repeatedly.. Note that number. (For the failing WU described by those messages, N=2. Your sequence of messages may contain a different number N, but you are going to capture WU N before your client deletes it.)

In preparing for the capture of the failure data, create a new compressed file somewhere that's easy to find. Open the FAHData directory and then the "work" subdirectory inside of it.
When there is a failing WU, find the subdirectory named 0 or 1 or 2 ... whatever number matches the N for your WU.

During that failure sequence of messages, copy subdirectory N into the compressed file.

If the copying process is completed BEFORE you get a message about "cleaning up" Good. If not, try again on the next failure. Send me the compressed file.

How?

You can get 15GB of free storage on google drive. Save it there, create a link and send it to him.

Thank you!

The file you uploaded isn't useful but that's probably because FAHClient uses hidden files. According to your earlier log, your FAH Data Directory is C:\Users\simon\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient.

The file you uploaded is associated with a WU running on your CPU and it contains no errors. We need a file associated with a WU running on your GPU containing a snapshot of the error.

Try again. Open either the full directory in the first paragraph or one called %APPDATA%\FAHClient (Either method should give you the same result.) It should contain \work and two folders with names like \0 or \1 or \2 plus a couple of other files. The file you uploaded was inside a directory called ...\temp. (That's not FAH's Data Directory.)

By the way, your system might be having trouble dissipating the heat generated inside the case. Download GPU-Z or a similar utility and note the GPU temperature readings.

It is also possible that you have a bad gpu. I'm successfully folding on 15 GPUs of different manufacturers but also have one that does nothing but create bad work units, over and over as you describe. Good luck if that's it. I sent my bad one in twice to Gigabyte and both times they said there was nothing wrong with it. It won't fold but works fine to mine ETH, which I do just because I have it. If it would just die I could probably get it replaced. I'll never buy another Gigabyte GPU.

15 GPUs i will upgrade my pc next year. but i just want to be able to fold now.

Have you tried interchanging that GPU with another NVIDIA GK10x? Does the problem move?

Have you tried underclocking?

@ ~shadowlegend~

Please describe your hardware including speed details of the hardware that FAH uses.

Are your GPUs using risers?

What's NVIDIA GK10x?
How do i underclock safely?
