Folder Chat:4/25 Where did everyone go?? - Tech Support Forums

KarmaKiller · April 25th, 2008, 05:23 PM

I remember the good ole' days. When I could log on to TIMO, and go to the folder chat thread, where there would be a nice conversation about folding, or getting a cow up and running. You know, just chat..

Now days, it seems everyone quit talking.
What happened??

OK, here's osmething to talk about:

F@H keeps crashing at (I think) the end of each WU. They still finish and still upload, but I have to start the program up again. The first time it did it it started up and did a WU at frame 0, but the second time it did it it was 100/500 frames through my 3rd WU, so maybe it is just random crashing. Hasn't done it when I've been at the computer though, only when I'm sleeping or in the shower, etc.

Hmm..
Dawg that's weird. Does you internet connection always stay on? If you loose connection, it will make F@H freeze.

CoonDawg · April 25th, 2008, 07:19 PM

It is always on. Cox 10MBPS (Though I get more like 20).

I finished my third WU and I'm halfway through my fourth, with no problems. Perhaps it has something to do with my screensaver?

KarmaKiller · April 25th, 2008, 07:27 PM

Possibly. Or maybe you have it set up to suspend, or shut off HDD's after a period of time. Might check into those..

CoonDawg · April 25th, 2008, 08:26 PM

I watched it do it this time. Everything is successfully sent, and it gets the new WU and a second or two after it says "working..." it just crashes, with a windows notice and all. starts right back up though, never says anything about it and acknowledges my 4 WUs.

I have another question: Just how fast are the GPU versions of F@H? I wanted to do an SMP and GPU2 at the same time but it says not to. My graphic card is a 7600GT so obviously it wouldn't do a whole lot.

Would it be worth it to run both, or should I just run the SMP?

The NCC 86477G Garbage Scow passed through an Electrical storm on it latest voyage to the Dump.
All engines are up and running, but can only get one to engage at this time.
MR Scott is cussing up a blue streak over this Damn Free Router. Seems it randomly restarts several times a day, and now is back to its old non communicative ways.

Seeing as there are more storms in the quadrant we will continue on with the starboard engines, and re-engage the others later.

KarmaKiller · April 25th, 2008, 09:27 PM

Sorry Nunya.. Kind of wishing I would have never sent it. Seems to be the leading stress factor in your life currently..

@Coon.
Nvidia cards can not fold. Only ATI cards. Why, I have no idea, I think it's really dumb of stanford not to develop a GPU client for Nvidia cards. Think of all the 8800's out there, or now 9800's that could be crunching.
But, the SMP client is the way to go IMO. Othes prefer 2x instances of the console..

Its all good Karma. I just have to shut everything down and bring it back up in the proper order. (just have to figure out what order that is, would imagine router, modem , computers.)Had quirks like this with my Linksys, just a little different. Look at it this way if everything worked perfectly right out of the box We would never learn anything.
the way I had things set on the Linksys I even had to start the computers in a set order so there Ip's would be right. (Due to a Job done Half ass'd right.)

As for the stress, thats just the part I'm willing to talk about, and you wanted the good old days with talk about cows and getting them running. just Thought I would add to the thread. lol

I can't get SMP to work. Whenever I try and run the install.bat it says "credentials rejected", no matter what I name myself. According to the FAQ it says to use an account name that is the same as your windows login name, which I've done. Only thing that isn't the same is the password, but I h ave no password set for my Windows login anyway.
