F@H3 V3.24 Keeps crashing!

[LT-73]

Ok this is getting to be anoying. Evrytime i start it, it'll run for about 5 minutes, then my rig crashes. Anyone getting this too?

I've downclocked nebulous and it still crashes. :confused:

Look and see which core it's using, stop it and then delete that core from your folder. This will make it download that core again as you may have gotten a bad download to begin with.

If that doesn't work, try deleting the workunit and see if a new one works better.

After that I'd suggest deleting the entire directory and starting over with a fresh download of 3.24.

Hope 1 or 2 works for you.

Thanx rick. i've tried both solutions with the same problem. What should i do?

*Edit*

I dunno what else to do here. I've upped the voltage to my proc to 2.1v and it's still crashing. Unless they change the core #65 to something else, i'm gonna back down on it.

There should'nt be any reason why nebulous keeps crashing with F@H3. I was getting this before and it was cuz i was oc'ed so high. This time i downclocked evrything, delete the whole file, reinstall it fresh, same problem. Delete the core to get a new one, bam, same problem again.

Sorry guyz.

It dosent happen with any other app like 3Dmark or such?? If not I would say something in the F@H 3.24 coding is buggy with your system..Need the old F@H??? I have it and can mail it..

>>>>Just reread your post and you say five minutes or so till it crashes...Sounds like heat also....Pump and everything operating at peak....Got water¿¿??... lol....

[rickoic]

Well I'm afraid that only leaves Nebulous. You might have to reset it to normal and than gradually step it up again.

It isnt a temp issue cuz my temps @ Full load are around 42-44c

Yes needlefreak, i have water :p

Evrything else runs perfect. I dunno what the heck it is then. :confused:

I had a problem on one of my rigs where for some reason the 3.14 console could not get any work units from Stanford and would sit there for weeks trying to get a work unit. Then I went back to 3.1 and it worked perfectly.

As the console does not do the folding, but the core does, see if you can fold with an older console. You still do the same folding, just have less features of forcing -advmethods, etc. 3.1 works fine for me.

One of my machines is running 3.24 and I don't have any problems there, other than that the Electron Microscope does not seem to be able to work out what is going on, so my local stats reporting is a bit screwed there.

Thanx Encnuk
I'll look into that ;)

Though my entire Windows does not crash, I think that's what you meant by crashing(?), but I know for a fact that I cannot run v3.24 at the same time that I open an app like a game or something to run decently, i.e. Ghost Recon. Game always "crashes" to desktop (it actually minimizes to taskbar at the bottom) during game'z menu idle or sometimes even during the game itself. Even when I try to "pause the work" or or change the CPU usage % down to as low as 10%, it still does it. F@H v3.24 simply MUST be completely shut down in order for me to run an app, cannot FOLD and work apps at sametime :(

About the only thing that I can do is surf the net like I am now. Is this a bug in v3.24? I was under the impression that you could run F@H in the background and yes I downloaded the recommended version - "Console version". Oh well, I guess I can't FOLD while I FRAG....I know this dwnld of F@H is good, cause I I've completed 10 WU in the past 4 or 5 days with both BEAST'z running - DA' BEAST & LIL' BEAST. LIL' BEAST runs WinME btw and she can't even play a simple game like Alchemy (puzzle game that came with Bejewel) without the same effect
happening. So sad...


Oh and my temps are at 35-36*C @ 100% Folding btw....wonder what temp effects it will have if I start to OC again????

[Encnuk]

HawaiianGhost, the best recommendation I have is to switch back to an older console, as they all do the same folding. So if 3.24 seems to be problematic, go back to 3.14. If that one does not work, try 3.1. The extra features of the newer consoles are gimmicks that have nothing to do with the folding itself. The core folds, the console interfaces the core to Stanford.

[LT-73]

Well, that did'nt work :( I'm gonna have to build a folding rig.

[Encnuk]

Could of course be that the core is your enemy, not the console. In that case you have no choice, as there are no alternate cores you can try.

[MadDoctor]

Would someone post a link to 3.1 please. The new version 3.24 doesn't work for me.

Thanks!

[Encnuk]

I don't know if they keep old versions of their consoles for public download, but if you send me a private message with your e-mail address, I can e-mail you 3.1.

I archive everything I download to CD once I have downloaded 600MB and have everything I have ever downloaded back from 1992 onwards.

:) Got it. Thanks!
