Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

I have read over most of the stuff on F@H that I could find on here. This is what i put in to target line after the rest of the stuff
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe" -advmethods -forceSSE
 
i was just about past the 4000 mark when it went offline. i should have about 105-110 wu when it comes back, they said about a day, which was about at 3am gmt. i think. so hopefully not long, also make sue ur credited for all your wu you have done, if nto post on the folding board and u will get creited for them manually.
 
I think I'll just pause my hard earned little weeny WU until the server comes back up.
If I'm gonna get stuck with these damn Tinker units at least I want credit for them.

Lamsey...last I looked I was still 1000 points ahead of you.
I believe that I can mosey along in this lane for a while longer before you are inconvenienced. :P
 
I'm installing it :D
but it seems that the setuppages are not the same as you posted maybe you have an older build?

How long does it take to do 1 part/section?
 
no, when i got my brother to sign up, he is using his own name, i just got him to use our team number. his name is AudioAlterations. once he finishes his first unit, youll see his name show up. were at 569. I dont think of it as cheating if its working toward a good thing. i like to see the whole team progress. im not that concerned with my own stats. B)

looks like something happened to one of lamseys machines too, look at how many WU's hes done, and he was getting no points for it basically.

Ha :lol:

:devil: :devil: :devil: What's bad news for one, is good news for another ! :devil: :devil: :devil:

I've been chasing him since the beginning, wanting to kick his ass.

Maybe now I can do it.

/me starts stretching his muscles :01: :01:


Lamsey, get some painkillers ! :)

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:

if anyone has probslems using the -forceSSE command with amd processors, there is a beta gromacs core which fixes the problem. it will be automatically distributed soon if you dont want to use a beta core.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/beta-core/

to install, download the new core. close folding@home, and put the new core in the f@h folder, then run f@h again and it will use the new core for gromacs WU's

Thanks for that, I'll try it when I've reinstalled XP (AGAIN, damn NIS crap).

And I'll try it on linux tonight. :lol:

Edit: it's a total lemon, locked up my linux system almost immediately.
 
:o Anyone know whats happened?

My folding at home icon has disappeared out of the system tray...now I am not sure how to pause the work ....this happened before after running another program and it only returned after rebooting.....which I might add I do not want to do...yet. In the task manager it appears to be folding merrily away.... :)

OK - I'll hook it up when I get back home........but is it possible to leave a cybercafe running it off 20 PC's? [/b]

If they aren't your PCs then don't do that. [/b][/quote]
not sure what's going on (in general) but OK

I'll use my own PC and check it out when I get back to the UK :)
