there is a plus next to critical error's expand that.... then that will give you an event id and source... double click the file and it will give you date time of the error... double click any of those errors and it'll give you a pop up box with a more info link... what error do you have?

[(FIH) The Don]

just crashed with one fah client running, gonna try the other now

also on boinc error it says that another instance of boinc is running

[garyinhere]

the event 41 under critical is your computer seeing that it shut down without powering down properly.(it's the crash) Under the error do you have one that is happening more than the other's or at the same time as the crash?

I just turn off 3d performance which is what SLI shows up as in Nvidia control panel when im folding and when i go to game i just turn it back on.

heres the 41

[garyinhere]

I don't need to see the 41... that is the computer crashing and putting that up... expand your error log so i can see it

we need to see the error causing the 41

if i remember right you jst got that i7? if so did you get the ram recently and run a memtest on them?

[(FIH) The Don]

sorry man, but im a tard at this,

like this?



i have no fucking idea what to do at all

yeah just got the stuff, but its been tested by KieX at his place, so it should be fine

[garyinhere]

did you get the mobo from him too? even so something might happen during shipping at no fault of his... that's the shot i need let me look it up!

[(FIH) The Don]

got chip, mb, gpu's, and ram from him(well my old ram that i gave him)

thanks man, and thanks for the help, feel a bit stupid lol

still running the other fah client no crashes, could be the second gpu failing on me somehow

[garyinhere]

Sorry for the double post... the error you're getting is for firmware. So you need to go through and update all drivers, sound, chip set, all of them... that's what is causing your crashes... don't feel stupid the only reason i know this is i had the exact same problem lol we all learn as we go and i try to learn something new everyday it seems lols

yes it could be the gpu causing this... driver's up to date?

[(FIH) The Don]

thanks man.

do you think i should just do a fresh install ? or just update everything?

newest driver from nvidia.....

[garyinhere]

did you fresh install with the new board... if not then yes def. do that... if you did then you need to go to the diff websites and update the drivers... it's a pain but it'll fix your problem... sound, gpu, direct X, all of em!

[(FIH) The Don]

sigh, gonna take yrs lol,

ill doa fresh install and then new drivers everywhere

[garyinhere]

it's a pain but worth the stability! I understand the frustration lols... did you fresh install with the new board?

[(FIH) The Don]

yes i did a new install, so its just weird :S but also getting some random errors, mse getting shut down, driver failing, gah

wtf is happening lol

[garyinhere]

Make sure you don't have an OC when you run your install

memtest too jst to make sure

[KieX]

I don't think it's the 275s. Because those restarts were happening with my 460s too. And those 460's and i7 were rock solid stable on the new R3E.

I thought it may be the nvidia drivers, but if it's crashing on a single GPU3 too then i think it's the EVGA. Maybe it's not supplying it's share of power to the cards :/

Dunno had my head scratching for ages with that problem.

[garyinhere]

the error: event 35 is for firmware so i don't think he's having a power problem. Hell it could be a sound driver lols we'll get it figured out!

You can run it bare bones to make sure if ya want... remove optical's and everything non essential

Also EDIT: is the bios up to date?

[KieX]

The computer goes into some sort of black screen crash, then you are forced to power it off. That gives the power off error in the log.

Boots fine until a few minutes of folding same thing happens. It was CPU stress test stable, and it was also Furmark GPU stable. But as soon as it folds.. bam! And testing all the parts individually on another board everything is stable. It drove me nuts and I could never figure it out.

Re-posting the great deal I posted before. I'm afraid it might have got lost in the torrent of posts that came soon after.

Open Box: ASUS ENGTX470/2DI/1280MD5/V2 GeForce GTX...

On stock clocks, I get about 11.5k PPD on a single 470 and temps are stable at 66ish. With a little OC, I should comfortably get 30k PPD combined, plus another ~7k PPD with my CPU

[xbonez]

So, I just finished OC'ing my 470. This is the most I could push i to:

Core/Shader clocks : 770/1570 Mhz
Core Voltage : 1062mV
Memory Clock: 1700Mhz
Fan Speed: 86%
Temp on load: 86 deg.

Current 3D Mark Vantage score: 17243
3D Mark Vantage @ stock: 14632

My PPD only went up from 11,328 to 12,600. Decent, I guess.
Anyways, I receive another 470 next week, so I'll OC the pair and then churn out twice as much

[Josh154]

Nice! Yeah the current GPU3 work units suck right now. A new batch will come soon and hopefully PPD will increase again

[xbonez]

Ah, PPD depends on the WU? I have a lot to learn

[johnspack]

Tonight I'm doing absurd requests. I asked my family to help me to get a q9650 for xmas. Next, I'm going to ask the folding community for help with psus. I will shortly have 2 gtx260s and a 9800gtx ready for folding duty. All I need is 2 psus capable of running these cards. I have all the other equipment ready to go, just need psus. I'm on a fixed income in Canada, I can't afford any more. I will fold my ass off if I can get a psu or 2. Ready to start my folding farm.
