FahCore returned: FAILED_3 (255 = 0xff)

[tug27224]

I just received my new GTX 1070 card and was looking forward to folding with it, both with the F@H client and on my own, but I am running into some errors that cause it to fail everytime I start.
Below I have listed the relevant information:

Error Log:


I tried searching for similar issues, but was unsuccessful. Hopefully, somebody can share some insight. Thanks.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

First, which video drivers are you using? That might be part of the issue. Did you have a different GPU installed and folding in this PC before? If so, you may need to uninstall the folding client and data directory and reinstall the client.

One note, the information you posted as images is useful, but a better way to post that information is to post the text of the log itself between Code tags as outlined in the Welcome to the Forum topic - viewtopic.php?f=74&t=26036. The first 100 or so lines which include the system info and folding configuration are recommended.

Thank you for your response. I've been keeping up-to-date, so I'm using NVIDIA driver 368.39. I did have a GTX 770 before, but I had not used it for folding.
I don't see that portion of the log, as the log is filled with past successful CPU runs, so I re-installed the client and will post the log below, which shows the startup of both CPU and failed GPU down to the first failure.
I will switch to using the code tags in the future, as well as reading further into that topic.

Does that driver support your 770? Does GPU-Z show all the correct info, esp OpenCL checked?

[bruce]

What happened after the message FahCore returned: FAILED_3 (255 = 0xff)?

There should have been an error report sent back to the Work Server and it didn't get there. If it turns out to be a bad wu, the server should be able to take care of that, but it has to get the error reports.

[toTOW]

Thank you for your response. I've been keeping up-to-date, so I'm using NVIDIA driver 368.39.

Did you get them directly from NV or did you let Windows install them automatically ? The second option doesn't work for FAH.

And I agree with bruce, what happened after the error message ?

[tug27224]

Don't think it was a bad WU. It keeps trying until it fails too many times and returns with this:

Code: Select all

17:55:08:WARNING:WU01:FS01:FahCore returned: FAILED_3 (255 = 0xff)

I can't seem to check OpenCL. I tried installing it, but GPU-Z starts with this error message each time:

"During previous startup GPU-Z crashed at OpenCL detection. Please updat your OpenCL and graphic drivers. Would you like to re-enable OpenCL detection?

Hitting 'no' just closes the program, and 'yes' starts it without OpenCL checked.

Oh, and NVIDIA drivers were installed and kept up-to-date via GEFORCE Experience software.

[toTOW]

So something is wrong with your OpenCL set up.

You should try to remove all currently installed NV drivers, and reinstall a fresh version downloaded from NV website ...
