Another BAD_WORK_UNIT (114 = 0x72) - why?

[kwthom]

Potential stability issues?

This has happened a few times; I finally caught the log the last time it happened - after my computer crashed & rebooted:

Thoughts?

Thanks!

[Neil-B]

Up Front: There are a number of issues currently in lay that link with this Project and those servers which may/may no relate to the issue you are having and the team have been working on these for number of days and have yet to resolve them.

However, the type of failure I am seeing (and I am not a GPU specialist) is similar to some where people have been having one of a variety of issues with their GPUs - hopefully one of the GPU folders will step in and advise.

Could you repost your log and include the first couple of hundred lines of the log as there may be some clues in the configuration settings that will display there … Given someone is likely to ask I'll mention it now, Is you GPU running at Stock speeds, Stock OC speeds or Bespoke OC speeds?

[kwthom]

I've paused GPU processing for the last ~24 hours, so all it's got at the moment is CPU efforts.

I'll need to revisit in a few hours for the GPU details, but I've been under-clocking it for the last week, due to ambient heat issues (it's now hot in the desert southwest...)

Thanks!

[Neil-B]

Can you send some of your heat please over to the UK please? … Cold, wet , miserable at the moment - so typical British weather I suppose … even with my server toasting my toes it feels sub optimal in the office.

Hope someone manages to help and get this sorted for you.

[PantherX]

Can you please post the first 100 lines of your log file so we can see what hardware the client has detected and how its configured?

Also, have you configured an exception for the client files from your anti-virus/anti-malware/anit-spyware/anti-ransomeware software?

[kwthom]

Can you please post the first 100 lines of your log file so we can see what hardware the client has detected and how its configured?

Also, have you configured an exception for the client files from your anti-virus/anti-malware/anit-spyware/anti-ransomeware software?

Haven't had the necessity to do so, since CPU WU's are functioning without issue.

If you'd be kind enough to point me in the direction of where I'd find the prefered settings for F@H, then I'll confirm my settings.

[Joe_H]

Generally we recommend that the F@h data directory be excluded from scanning by anti-virus software, the random binary data can trigger false positives. In your case that would be C:\Users\kwtho\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient. That can keep files from being opened by the scanning process and being blocked from use.

The Guru Meditation error in the first log usually indicates a problem opening a file, in this case connected with the checkpoint. Either the file was locked, corrupted, or missing. One other thing that can do this is a shutdown at the same time as a checkpoint is being written. Windows sometimes does not give running applications time enough to complete exiting, so data ends up not be written fully.

[kwthom]

I *really* think it's a GPU card setting issue I'll need to resolve.

EDIT: Exclusion set as described above; I'll release the pause I have on my GPU when it cools down a bit (36°C - 97°F) today.

[kwthom]

UPDATE: Let it run thru the evening, then paused at the end of the WU; zero issues. I did find this morning that my screen was set to turn off after 5 hours; changed to 'never'. Since I shut off the monitors with the front panel switches when not in use, no big change.

When it ran thru the evening, I actually had the log tab of F@H active, so that means there was always something refreshing on the screen. That, along with a slight tweak of under-volting the card *may* be the solutions on my end.

Card is holding ~68°C while under load at this early hour of the morning. Current WU has four more hours to complete - this will be another good test of my settings.
