Folding Forum

Taken from viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5023&p=50358#p50358 in the PS3 forum.

Like another guy I had a PS3 WU freeze/never started the actual WU work on me. On screen it was P4030. When I looked for the RCG numbers it was actually P4035 (R=0, C=312, G=0). It was mislabeled like the P4043/P4044. For me it gives a completion time of 1d 3h 17m and 49s. It may be bad as well. The screen froze the WU isn't being worked on at all. All I get blank deep blue screen with no movement or music. I think it's because of the WU not the PS3 itself.

Someone else in that topic had the problem as well. With P4033 but he didn't give the RCG numbers so I don't know if his/her WU was mislabeled as well. His WU wasn't frozen thou but it did have a 13-17h completion time.

Edit: Exiting F@H and coming back got me a new WU to work on. Hope it works for anything else who has this problem.

I had this problem on two of my PS3's - BUT was able to get the WUs running (to completion) by simply exiting and restarting the client.

I do not watch this segment of my "farm" too often and was a bit miffed by the lost time. <-- note smilie

Had another one freeze yesterday. 7 hours of science lost.

PS3's live in a room with ambient temp at 71 degrees F. so heat is not an issue.
They are also cleaned regularly although dust is not a problem in their location.

Is this a "known" problem? It appears to be WU related.

Should I be posting this elsewhere?

Check the link I put in my first post. It's to a topic in the PS3 section. Dan has been keeping up with all the problematic WU's.

Thanks Baowoulf. Will do.
