Minor Folding Problem

broady81

I left my system on last night and today for the first time after I built it :bigggrin: I know it's stable because I let it run 4 instances of Prime 95 on each core (On my Q6600 as you will remember), but when it was running the SMP client today, it stopped twice :sad2: both times FAHmon reported it as "*Hung*" but I managed to close it without reading the Log I will get back to you with the results if it does it again, but is there any obvious solution anyone can see at the minute ? :rolleyes2

EDIT : I also lost the progress I had made (over 40% :sad2:) and have had to start again !

did your network settings change ??? mpi.exe uses the ip addy as part of the communication link between cores.

Ok so it just happened again, this time it cannot send the results, and then closes by itself :sad2: then when i restarted it it lost the WU because it had started 8 times 25% of a work unit just gone :rolleyes2

Don't worry about the 8 consecutive improper terminations- I get those everytime I restart my system and it has never affected me.

It sounds like the problem could be with your network- are you running wireless? Spike also makes a good observation. Is your network settings changing?

Indeed I am running wireless, and i didnt think my network settings changed SPIKE, as i'm certainly not bringing that about myself :sad2: I know something of the nature of wireless and hope I can find a LAN cable soon I dont think the problem is when it has "8 improper terminations" Qeldroma, as it seems to restart fine after it gets that, looking at the log. Yet I cant seem to find any other problems, it simply says "User shutdown client" last time it did it, yet I wasn't even at the PC and it didn't restart. Nevermind, it's about ironing out the bugs for the moment, not pumping out those points Thanks for the help guys :bigggrin:

"Couldn't send HTTP request to server (wininet)" that is a problem, probably means you answered yes to use IE settings use the -config flag to change to NO

Spike's suggestion is especially applicable to IE7. Also, SMP WUs tend to hang up everytime there is a loss of network connectivity- especially applicable in the wireless case. A network wire is a capital idea. Last time I tried FAH with my LT wireless, it hung my whole system. I run FAH on my LT only from a desktop icon and I do not fold when I use wireless. While some may contend with me here, I have very few SMP WU errors.
