CPU problem with Folding

[Bingbing10]

so i have had my pc a couple of weeks and thought that i might as well use my pc for good and i have decided i am going to start F@H.

Obviously i am a complete n00b at this and dont even know where to start (i have downloaded to software though) such as joining the LTT folding group and which set up is best for me.

 

My Rig

 

AMD FX-8350 ( no over-clock yet will be doing one in the future)

ASUS DCU2 R9-280x (no over-clock yet but hoping to get one soon)

Gigabyte 990FXA UD3 

250gb Samsung evo SSD

1tb Segate Barracuda

120mm Cooler Master seidon AIO water cooler

8gb 1600mhz ram

Fractal Design R4

its says my gpu is folding but not cpu.

you should have a big slider with light medium and so on, just push the slider to full and your gpu should start folding, if not it will be waiting for your pc to go into idle before the gpu starts folding.

 try to wait a couple of hours, it might sort itself out, it can take some time to download and set everything up, if it's stuck at download this could be a number of issues, but because your gpu is folding i guess we can rule out most of them, as you have connected and recieved 1 wu atleast, try to have a look at the tab that says "log" to the right of status and system info in your client, scroll up and see if you can find any errors or the like that belongs to the cpu slot, worst case scanerio you can delete a wu and start over but you want to avoid that if possible.

 

if you find any errors or anything misfit in the log you could try posting that here so that someone can have a look at it.

 

also if the status changes you could try right clicking on the top cpu slot were is says ready and press "start", if by any chance it's paused, it really shouldn't be though because then status should have said "paused, waiting for idle" or just "paused"

 

 

btw that is some nice ppd you are getting

Yes, if you can, post your log. Click on the box that narrows down the log output to just the slot of your CPU, and we can see if that is giving any clues.
