99.99%

[Kermit]

My work unit has been stuck at 99.99% for over an hour... what should I do?

[Syntaxvgm]

Put some purell on it.

 

 

lol um well you might have to delete the work unit. Does your log say anything and do you have an overclock?

Close out, and try again. It'll resume from it's save point.

 

If that fails, reinstall.

yes i have an overclock and how do i delete a wu

[Me1z]

Its a common bug, especially with AMD hardware. It happens to me if I pause a particular unit too many times.

 

Two suggestions:

 

1) Try pausing the unit for a minute or two, when you start it again it should jump back to a lower percentage and continue normally from there.

 

2) If that doesn't work, just delete the GPU slot and re add it. By doing so it dumps the work unit.

[tobben]

Pause the slot. Close, restart the Client and resume. As

the others have said it should restart from a save point.

If it doesn't, you could alternatively delete the Wu and

restart the Client.

 

For manual deletion i would have a looksy at the bottom

well I havent deleted it yet but I paused and restarted the wu.... Now it says 8.9 days

 

ill try deleting it

[Kermit]

UGH

 

now it started a new project, still says 4.66 days, and my collection server is 0.0.0.0

 

ive tryed deleting the gpu multiple times... is there any way to delete my entire operation (including client and webapp) but still keep my donor "account" with my stats?

Wait some time untill it stabilizes.

[Kermit]

okay

 

i quit out of the desktop app and now im using the webapp and its fine...

is there any way to use gpu only in the webapp?

[Vavetti]

okay

Web app is cpu only. 

[Kermit]

Web app is cpu only. 

 

oh. are there any other desktop applications besides "FAHControl"

[Vavetti]

oh. are there any other desktop applications besides "FAHControl"

Not sure what you mean. 

If you mean if there are other ways to fold, then no only desktop and web.

If you mean to control/monitor folding there's also webcontrol: http://folding.stanford.edu/client/

you will have to let it recalculate again the wu messed up. did you have done some OC on the card? don't delete a wu unless it is you're last option.

 

suggestion for stuck on 99.99% on a WU

 

1 Pause everything

2 set the slider on light

3 Wait like 10 minutes

4 Close the F@H client

5 reboot system for any stuck folding prosesses

6 start the F@H client

7 set the slider to full

8 unpause all of the WU

9 wait like 4 hours

 

 

If that does not work delete that WU and let it do hiss job

if that does not work either delet F@H and reinstall drivers and reboot.

yes I previously had an overclock but i reset it to stock settings. I am trying your steps now thanks

To me it sounds like you need to smear yourself with some 

good old patience , the estimates will be completely wacky 

at first. You need to wait and let it settle in. I would guess

that the wu reset itself like we expected earlier, but you didn't

let it start properly.

 

A stuck wu is one thing, but if the estimates are wacky, all

you can do is wait, if it doesn't go anywhere after a good 

while, then you can start considering deleting it. Well, the

same kinda applies to a stuck wu aswell.

 

Also, what people refer to as the "web client" is specifically

the chrome plugin that lets you fold in the chrome browser.

But you also have the "web control" that is tied to your desktop

client and not actually folding via the web browser. Two 

separate things, the chrome(web client) doesn't support

gpu folding at all.

FYI - always check the logs - this will typically give you a lot of info. Many times a WU can be stuck at 99% simply because a server is offline. Servers go offline from time to time and can get busy and reject submissions for a while. I have seen it take two days to submit a WU on a down server. I would give it a day at least before delete a WU, as this wastes a lot of your resources. 

 

Also to note, if your failed WU's (failed to submit to Stanford) goes above 10%, you will no longer qualify for QRB - so keep that in mind when deleting.

im new to this whats QRB?

[tobben]

im new to this whats QRB?

Quick return bonus points, basically get more points

the quicker you return wu's that follow that point 

scheme. But to qualify you need to return 10+ QRB

eligible wu's with a return rate of atleast 80% using

a passkey.

 

you can find some terminology explanations aswell

as info on passkeys in the FAQ.

That usually means it can't connect to the FAH server

thanks! I think your advice finally helped but I cant be sure because I tried a bunch of other things to try to fix the problem. Anyways, now it sits at 9 hours remaining which is at least better than the 8 day estimate before... Hopefully the estimate will drop more and eventually stabilize back to normal like in the past. I'll post int his thread when that happens.

 

Thanks again!!

Ok keep me updated if that wu finished up
