Problems with folding....

[Eddie2001]

Ever since I installed an upgrade for my NVidia video card (EVGA GTX 460) a few days ago F@H crashes and then goes to sleep after finishing a w/u. I can close the program and restart and it then will finish the w/u ok, but then it hangs/crashes when trying to start a new w/u.

Any ideas anyone?

says it all I think. Did you already check the website and send an email to them with your logs?

I did check on line and I see lots of others are having the exact same problem as I am. Sounds like the latest video driver update is causing some kind of issue, and that line about devices = 0 etc seems wrong as well.

But once I start the w/u manually it runs at its usual 13.5K ppd...

And now it seems to be running just fine...I wonder if Stanford made some kind of change? That same line is still in the logs though (device=0, etc) but it now is reloading and continuing on with no problems.

That line about "GPU device info: vendor=0 device=0 name=<NA> match=0" may be a generalized label to cover most GPU types. Simplifies the "addressing" of each specific type of GPU and its speed/memory allocation.
