BSOD then FAH won't start

Hi,
I've been folding for a few months now across a few PCs (Win10) and enjoying contributing. I had an issue recently where once I started Folding, my PC crashed with a BSOD (within seconds of starting folding). After restarting (many restarts), I can't get F@H to start. When using the F@H shortcut, it loads the browser and stays on the "Connecting" page. When I start F@H Control, it also says "connecting".

I've grabbed the log file and cut it down to the last few days and cut out the %s.

Code: Select all

I'll try reinstalling the F@H Client, but I thought I should report this to see if there's any suggestions for what may have caused this?

Update:
I've reinstalled and restarted without any changed behaviour. I can't get past the "Connecting to Folding at Home" browser page.

Is it possible that Windows has recognised the .exe files as responsible for the crash and is now preventing them from running? If so, how would I go about smacking Windows into submission?

It looks like the config.xml file that was last saved is a bit different. On the first version (as well as in mine), there's a line with "</slot>" between the two slots.
When you uninstalled, did you tick the "data" checkbox? If not, you probably should have. Before that, you may want to make a copy of the present config.xml for reference (passkey), as the installer will ask you for it when you reinstall.

Apparently FAHClient runs until the FAHCore starts and the hardware quickly overheats. It's likely that your heatsink is not correctly attached to the processor or the fan has failed. You can get good software that monitors temperature but you can also open the case and confirm your cooling components are working as designed. (Cheap fans have a limited life, although that might not be your problem.)

There are many utilities that can monitor Temps, but I use Speccy. It may or not be better, but i know it.

After you fixed config.xml file like @ajm suggested: Does it crash with BSOD also if you only run CPU folding and not GPU? Or only GPU and not CPU?

In principle no, Windows does not crash because of a bad executable. It needs something closer to the kernel, most generally bad drivers, and of course bad hardware. If your cooling doesn't seem to be impaired, it would be a good idea to make a clean install of your GPU drivers, downloaded directly from Nvidia.

Thanks for the advice. It's not likely to be the cooler since I upgraded it about 2 weeks ago from the stock cooler. I'll keep an eye on temps to be sure, but I can guarantee the fan is is running due to the window in my case.

I'll try the suggestions of the config XML and also reinstall without saving data and try the NVIDIA driver too.

Currently enjoying a holiday away from the city so I'll try this when I get home later in the week.

I suspect the problem was either the config.xml file or the nVidia driver.... I did a driver update (I was only one version behind) and then uninstalled FAH including delete data. After a reinstall, and reboot, I'm back up and running. CPU temp is 62C at 100%, and GPU 71C. I've been Folding for 5 minutes and temps are stabilising, with fans throttling up based on temp.

Thanks for your help... it's unfortunate that I lost the WUs but at least I'm up and running again.

If this ever happens again, check config.xml for XML validity. I had a broken one once (hard system crash due to pulling out the wrong cable :roll:).
The sub-directory %appdata%\FAHClient\configs contains backups of old versions, so I simply copied and renamed the previous version - worked well.
