Project: 13000 (Run 399, Clone 0, Gen 14) BAD_WORK_UNIT

[mikepcap]

Been folding for years, but total newbie on gpus.
Constantly getting ALL bad work units on this project. Brand new stock out of the box Gateway quadcore computer with gpu:0:BeaverCreek [Radeon HD 6530D]. No OC, no additional drivers. W8.1. Assigned two CPUs and they run every WU just fine. Is this an example of those WUs that just won't work on my particular GPU that I've read about in other threads about 1300x?

Can you please tell us what Driver version you are using? I would suggest that you install the latest (14.4 WHQL) and see if you are getting the same error or not. Also, make sure that your GPU temperatures are within normal range. A useful tool is GPU-Z (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/) which can give you a good overview of your GPU in an easy-to-understand interface.

[bruce]

Have you updated your GPU drivers from AMD?

[mikepcap]

OK, first off, thank you for such a such a quick reply!
Ran GPU-Z max temp 56C over about last 10 minutes with FAH running in bg.
Other details: AMD Radeon HD 6530D, 64Bit, Release Dt: June 15, 2011 , 512 Mb Mem, BW:12.8 GB/s, GPU clk: 444Mhz, Mem 800MHz
Driver according to GPU-Z was atiumdag 13.251.0.0 /win8.1.64
Just loaded new drivers from AMD as suggested in thread now at:
Driver according to GPU-Z is atiumdag 14.100.0.0 (Catalyst 14.4)/win8.1.64

Unfortunately still getting pretty much the same error:

It's been 2 days and no GOOD WU yet from 13000-1. Don't get points for finding broken ones.

s there some place that WE can look up stats like this before posting here?

Due to stats database performance issues, PG has provided the lookup tool only to forum admins and moderators.

As for the number of bad WU's you have seen, that is highly unusual. Eventually you should get some good WU's and then see whether or not your 6530 is capable of processing Core_17 projects.

"As for the number of bad WU's you have seen, that is highly unusual."
Or you simply need to admit that all the good ones have been depleted and all that are left are previously rejected BAD ones. Here are the next 10 in a row. What a waste of resources. I'll be mining bitcoins until you all sort this mess out.

Please post the System Info and Config sections of your log.txt file as explained here.

Or you simply need to admit that all the good ones have been depleted and all that are left are previously rejected BAD ones.

If that were true it would not explain why most folders are not experiencing this problem and are returning successfully completed work units for P13000/1 every day.

It can be very frustrating when something like this happens but the reasons are usually found eventually. I agree with you in that until the source of the problem is determined it's probably better to suspend folding on that GPU temporarily while we gather more information. It may be something as simple as not having enough ram on that GPU ... 512MB is on the low side and depending on what other functions your GPU is trying to perform that may not leave enough for folding. Another area to look at is your Power Options ... are they set at maximum performance? ... have you disabled sleep and hibernation? ... have you disabled your screen saver? ... have you disabled the option that turns off your display? So many questions but no specific answers ... it can be frustrating for us too.

[kyleb]

We are looking into the bad WU problem for p13000. I expect to be posting back early next week with a solution.

[bruce]

So apparently Kyleb is suggesting that there may be something that can be changed in P13000.

It seems like we're looking at a combination of two problems. From the results posted by P5-133XL above,

Six were successfully completed by someone else and twelve have failed at least one more time. In other words, 6/18=33% of the problems seem to be caused by something that mikepcap can change and 12/18=67% might be caused by something that kyleb can change. It's unlikely that either of you can prevent all errors, but I suggest that both of you need to change something.

Don't know about that. Looking at if it is possible to upgrade it.

Let me know if there any other settings I should check
