So I fiddled with a bunch of things, including the reinstallation of FAH. Nothing leapt out at me hardware-wise. I had already replaced the power cables going to the GPU, but I swapped them around, reseated the RAM, that sort of thing. It's now been >24 hours with no issues, so I don't know what it was, but it seems to be fine again. I wish I had some clue what it was, but I'll take it. Thanks for the help. Now, back to folding.

So my config.xml is there but is (was) totally empty. Can't say I expected that result. Why didn't uninstalling and reinstalling fix it, I wonder? Surely all the locally-saved files were deleted and a clean install should reset everything, no? I also just copied the sample config.xml file, making the necessary changes for my username, etc., and it's still connecting. Update: Reinstalling and launching the web thingy worked, and now the whole thing connects again, so there's that. And the GPU temp is for FurMark or AIDA64's stress tests. For example, I'm BOINCing with Rosetta@Home for my CPU and Milkyway@Home for my GPU and it's sitting at 61C. I ran that tool you recommended and my last BSOD was 5/31, so nothing there. When it crashed this morning it was just off, just like I had unplugged it, except the fans ramped to 100% like it does in the first few seconds of booting, but it never ends (until I hit the reset button). I've uploaded my log from starting it up just now, since it shows the configuration data, in case that's helpful. FAH Log.txt

I've been folding with this computer since, I think, March with few problems. I have 1660S and then got a 2080ti and fold with both, plus my 3900X. A few weeks ago, first thing in the morning, my computer's fans were at 100%, which is very very unusual. Turns out it had crashed overnight sometime, no BSOD, and was hanging while booting. I reset it and things went on. I use my computer all day while teleworking and there's no problems: I run my work software in the foreground and fold with 20 cpu virtual cores plus my 2 GPU's. Then, like clockwork, it crashes overnight. I have only observed a crash twice (including while getting data for this post), and it just turns off. I changed both power cables going to the 2080, looked at the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V bus voltages, removed the 1660S, and ran superposition, FurMark, and AIDA64 stress tests and everything is great (76C max on any of these tests, and I ran them for between 8 and 18 h). I thought after running all these tests and removing the 1660S might have solved it, but when I was on my way to bed I could hear the fans, so it's a no-go. I figured this might be the place to ask for help since I think I've tried all the easy stuff (also, reinstalling F@H after it didn't like me removing the 1660S mid-fold). Because I'm a data geek (the sole reason I bought an intelligent PSU), I've attached plots of the relevant data, as well as the raw data itself. Nothing jumps out at me. The data is from last night from 8:26 pm until I assume it died at 10:10 pm. Any ideas? Update since I started writing this: when I removed my 1660S, FAHControl wouldn't connect, so I reinstalled and moved on. Now, I want to try CPU-only folding and it's connecting. This is a new problem. Complete-ish build list: Ryzen 9 3900X @ 3.8 GHz, watercooled 32 GB DDR4 RAM MSI Tomahawk B450 - BIOS 1.80 (had to try a bunch of ones until I found one that worked with this CPU, so it's old and I don't want to update it unless I have to) EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Gaming 11G-P4-2382-RX MSI Geforce GTX 1660 Super Ventus XS **currently sitting in a box, but has been installed most of this time** M.2 SSD Spinning rust HDD Corsair AX1200i crash data.csv Computer Info.pdf

Two things I discovered: First, it works. I set the time down to 2 minutes to test it and sure enough, it did everything as advertised. Second, you can just execute python scripts like any executable in Windows: double clicking it worked fine. So, thanks for everything, great script.

I don't know why it didn't give me an error, but typing "python3 babysitter.py" just gave me back to the prompt with no action. I decided to type "python babysitter.py" and she's up and running. I'll find out shortly if it actually works as advertised, but at least it's up.

You have to keep the command line window open? Maybe that's what I was doing wrong. I just executed the file and closed the window.

I've got the CPU fans set tp be at full speed around 65C, so they're going full out. I had considered upgrading from Alphacool's fans to some Noctua NF-F12's for the rad and NF-S12A's for the case. I haven't done it yet in case I get a second rad.

If you need the actual BIOS voltages, I'll have to reboot to get them. It should be whatever the default settings are (MSI B450 Tomahawk). CPUID is reporting voltages ranging between 1.019 and 1.344 V on the 12 cores. The CPU VCORE is getting between 1.288 and 1.336 V.

I recently upgraded to a R9 3900X and bought an Alphacool Eisbaer 240 aio. I did get much better thermals than with the stock cooler when doing 22 CPU only tasks, 1 CPU + GPU (1660S) task, and folding with my main GPU (2080ti). Depending on the temperature in my home office, which can very wildly, my reported cpu temp in AIDA64 is anywhere between 77 and 85 C. This seems a bit toasty to me. (GPU1 is the 2080ti, GPU2 is the 1660S) Is this an ok temperature for long-term running? When I'm not using my computer (which let's be honest, isn't as much as I would like), I'm running everything flat-out. I plan on this being the long-term situation. Should I look to improve the case airflow? I'm also looking to water cool my GPU, and my case will support an additional 360mm rad, so I could put 2 rads in the one loop.

I was literally just searching for an answer to this (nearly) exact question. And I'm planning on using my 1660 Super for Folding 100% of the time, and my soon-to-arrive 2080ti for pwning n00bs and proteins. Thanks for answering the question I didn't even have a chance to ask!
