Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

a tip here for anyone going to download a batch of timeless F@h tinker units. make sure you remove the -advmethods switch from the client when your run it to get the wu's or you will get a batch of the same WU, which are all the same, so will only get the credit for one.

I don't know what's happening recently, but FAH is screwing my machines.

I did a full reinstall of XP on my newest machine, now it usually hangs after a few minutes with FAH. It isn't overclocked or anything. If I start FAH and then stop it, it still hangs after a while. But if I never start FAH then it doesn't hang.

My old machine has run for 2 years without hanging. I installed Linux on it the day before yesterday. If I run FAH it hangs within an hour, even if FAH has been cancelled. Without running FAH, it has been up for 30 hours.

Something has obviously happened with the type of projects I am currently receiving (which may have changed because of the reinstallation?), because I never had hanging problems before. I'll keep trying new projects occasionally, but until these problems go away, sadly, I can no longer commit my machines permanently.

I know it doesn't help, but Rocktron and I both had similar problems. They started last Thursday.

I had serious problems with a WU from project 524,
locked up the machine 3 times in a row, every time restarting at 0/500 :angry:
Deleting the work-folder doesn't help as the F@H servers just hand out the same WU over and over again.

As a temp solution I made a backup of my WU several times a day using WinZip.
Shutdown F@H first before zipping it, as F@H writes "shutdown in a normal way" to disk.
Failure to do so (as in a lockup) will restart your WU @ 0/500 when you use the backed up files.

Now what is the cause?
The only thing I can think of:
I used a proggy "CWShredder" mentioned here on the forum. Could it be we all used the same proggy? :unsure:
 
another quote:



EDIT: found more stuff...

Crunch like mad? Use these switches for an AMD processor:

-forceSSE -advmethods

For an Intel processor:

-advmethods is all you need.

Want the client to talk to you as much as it can? Add this switch:

-verbosity 9

Ok,

Now I added a second rig to the Folding-community,
this time folding for team 34905 !

This might be my only chance to kick Lamsey's ass....

I assume you've all checked the Team statistics, and noticed that Lamsey isn't leading by THAT much

Hello I just d/l this program this is were I heard of F@H. What I want to know is How to join this team? Do I just enter this # 34905 and thats all or do you have to register with a team?
Click to expand...
Just enter the team number and you're a member....
 
yeah, i think it mainly relies on ghz. so a p43.2 will prob be better than a amd 3200.

ive had a few 5000 WU. :P

edit: inact ive got a 5000 unti now on my laptop.
 
It's not the position you are in that's important...it's the fact that you're doing it...thats what's important!

This is great, the team is growing larger, every day... :)

Damn ,

My folding stopped for some reason.
None of my work get's completed anymore. at least 2 days of work down the drain.
Deleted my work folder many times now and started over....

Did i miss a update or something? :( :blink:

We have had a few warmer days just now Rock.
Is there any chance heat is the problem?

Like in "Sun shining on your case" or,
"Dust and cobwebs on yyour heat-sink" :ph34r:

Most times when you delete a work unit you'll just get the same one handed out over and over.

Yeah it sucks, been there, done that..... :angry:
 
I can't believe how many inactive members there are. :cry:

Don't know if this is a good idea...no one will ever catch lynx or virtual...

so...why not start a new team for members that have only one CPU ? :D

But you've been inactive since: 11.13.05
