Following Kiex's guide to multiple WU's for gpu's I was able to get it running last night. Both GPU's were working on two WU's (+CPU).
When I got up this morning and checked I had no Tasks showing. Restarted the computer and this is what I see in the Event Log:

Any ideas???

That's the same prob I had the 1st night i tried it. I know of no fix yet.

HammerON · Oct 28, 2012

Thanks Buck. That sucks.
I guess I will just re-install

KieX · Oct 28, 2012

Try assigning that computer a HCC only profile in the WCG site. Was something Mad_SHot suggested which may work.

mstenholm · Oct 28, 2012

I think we all had the problem with not having any GPU tasks but NO tasks at all!? Other then that your log looks similar to mine. I tried again to night to let one rig with a 7770 run three GPUs. So far so good (one hour in) but the past two times I tried I ran out of GPU WUs as soon as I turned my back to it. I did notice that the estimated time went from a fairly accurate number (2:27) to 43:26 and that of course will reduce the number of WUs in the buffer. I will update later.

I have 2 days had the same problem - no tasks.
That's what I did:
1. deleted project in BOINC manager (all downloaded files were also deleted)
2. connected to the project WCG
3. immediately after the connection was out of the BOINC manager
4. copied the app_info file in the correct directory
5. reran manager.

Everything works fine the third day, the download task occurs immediately, no errors.

I tried that as well after after my first problem but it didn't work for me. Running only HFC might be the solution for some. I still run a GFAM/HFC mix...

Indeed I'm running HCC GPU tasks only on this cruncher. Not tried mix.

Yes you need to set a separate profile for the rigs that are running the app_info file on wcg site with hcc only. They way I found to get the app_info to work perfect was to.

1: Create new profile on wcg site with HCC only and make it default.
2: Attach the rig you want to crunch the app_info with to the profile
3: Uninstall Boinc/Wcg
4: Delete folder under program Data
5: reboot
6: Install Wcg Client from Wcg site.
7: Reboot
8: Attach to project and immediately set to no new task.
9: Shut down client
10: Add your app_info file
11: Restart Client
12: Allow new task
13: Reboot just because.

Well, I'm pretty sure that my ASRock P55 board is shot. I tested my CPU in my friend's P7P55D Pro and it worked, while his CPU didn't work properly in my board. In addition, some of the USB ports have gone bad.

:shadedshu

I'm looking to find a replacement--I may have found a Maximus III, which would be a solid board to use with it. A shame, as this delays any GPUs, but oh well.

The system is (somehow) up and running right now, so it'll stay crunching--but it's probably going to lock up/BSOD soon-ish.

Mindweaver · Oct 28, 2012

Well shit guys.. I've been dealing with power outages.. Most of my computers are down.. All of my UPS's are down but 2... Only my main APC 3000 va with 4 servers and my main rig and my daughters is running.. Err well 2 laptops as well... :banghead:

I'll start getting things back up tomorrow once my UPS's have recharged... :banghead:

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 28, 2012

Hope you stay safe Mindweaver. We are next to get hit and they say it isn't looking good right now. Schools are already closed for tomorrow. The beach is getting hammered.

Damn bro, that really sucks man!! Was it due to weather conditions?

I know mid to late week we had some real shitty weather. Dropped about 3" snow one night and 6 or 7 the next night. Seemed we were pretty lucky as we didn't encounter any major power outages.

:banghead:

Never mind, I totally spaced the damn Sandy hurricane.

We're looking at that possibility here as Hurricane/Nor'Easter Sandy bears down on us. Will likely shut down at least the 4P rig around midnight as a precaution and hope for the best but it's looking like we're going to get hit pretty hard over the next 48 hours

[Ion] · Oct 28, 2012

Mindweaver, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm kinda surprised though--we haven't had any inclement weather here in Raleigh :eek:

Mindweaver · Oct 28, 2012

Yea, weather is not bad here.. It's just a little windy.. I think someone hit something around here. I'll post more when I know more... Oh and yea Norton better safe than sorry.. Hopefully everyone will be safe during all the bad weather. :toast:

Will give it a shot when I get home from work.

They have now issued a Winter Wheather Warning for us for Tuesday. My rigs are all going down tomorrow as it is supposed to get real nasty by mid morning. And when the storm hit's land and comes what they say due east we are going to get pounded again. With us being in the valley of the Mountain ranges out here if the storm gets past the one mountain range it will most likley get stuck on top of us for some time. I love living out here but sometimes I hate it to. These mountains can really screw us sometimes with weather. But we will see what happens as it gets closer to us. Right now it's just breezy outside with light rain.

OK, giving this app_info another go. I've cranked up another Phenom II X4 rig, but the GTX260 crapped out(it's been worked kinda hard over the last 3+ years). Just gonna run CPU until.....maybe a HD7770 shows up at the door...

. Damn, I haven't own an AMD GPU in 5+ years.

Currently running 2 GPU WU's on the GTX460. Gonna try the GTX275 in a little bit. Thanks for outlining this MaD_ShOt

[Ion] · Oct 29, 2012

Well, my AMD X2 has been offline for a few days (apparently the Lenovo BIOS halts it if there isn't a keyboard plugged in). That's now resolved, so it's up-and-crunching again :toast:

Before I commit to buying the new P55 board, do you guys have any other ideas of what I can try?

Didn't want to create a new profile so I just un-installed and deleted the Program Data, re-installed and back-up and running

I would try again out of curiosity however I do not have time right now

I did not like my rig not crunching for almost a whole day. Think of the dying puppies (old WCG TPU thing)!!!

it's not a new account, under device manager on wcg's site create a new device profile and in that profile only have hcc checked. Point rig running the app_info file to that profile. You do all this on the WCG site. You keep your same account and that rig will not lose it's stats. Your just changing what it crunches so that you won't get the errors from wcg site trying to load other projects to it and the app_info kicking them out. Which I believe is causing the rigs to stall out.

da_vid · Oct 29, 2012

Swiftech mcp 355 pump is still good, or I could get better for the same price(under 100$ can)
I'm looking for a low profile pump (haf 912 not so much room for a big pump like the mcp 655)
I'm using 2x 240mm swiftech rad and a Apogee HD waterblock

Thansk for your advice

Finally everything is back up and crunching! :toast:

Tough night and morning... :toast:

The worst of the weather we've received here is a bit of rain--I'm surprised that you have more further inland TBH.
