Message boards : Number crunching : GPUGRID WUs hang!
Author | Message |
---|---|
I have been haveing problems with one machine -- Intel CPU, Nvidia GTX 750 TI GPU running Win10 -- GPUGRID WUs run for awile and then hang -- GPU temp drops and load stays at zero. Sometime it will recover after a short while, other times it could remain in this state for days! Suspending the WU and then letting it run again after an hour or so will allow it to recover from the point where in hung -- for awhile, anyway. Reseting the project did not help. I have seen this happen occasionally on my two other machine with GT 730 GPUs. but only rarely. All three are running the same NVIDIA driver software. | |

So... No one else has experienced this problem? Really?? | |

Have you tried downgrading the drivers to see if that resolves the issues? | |

This sounds similar to a problem I had when starting GPUGrid with a Windows machine and a 1070 card. As with you, the problem was only with GPUGrid, and not other projects. | |

In my case the problem was with the BOINC "Suspend when non-BOINC usage is above.." setting. Several people on this forum (see link below) recommended to completely disable this feature. Put simply, it worked for me. Thanks -- I'll give that a try! | |

Have you tried downgrading the drivers to see if that resolves the issues? Yep -- down, up and sideways. No difference. | |

Is the graphic card overclocked other than factory settings? | |

Is the graphic card overclocked other than factory settings? Even a too bold factory overclock could cause the GPUGrid tasks to fail or hang. | |

Is the graphic card overclocked other than factory settings? The 750 TI and 730 cards are mildly overclocked, but the problem is so intermittent I doubt that is the problem. I followed an earlier suggestion to not stop BOINC when the computer is in use or under heavy usage and so far so good -- but probably needs to run for a few weeks before I really know if that solves the problem. If I still get hang-ups, I'll restore one of the 730's to factory settings and see what that does. Thaks ____________ | |

This sounds similar to a problem I had when starting GPUGrid with a Windows machine and a 1070 card. As with you, the problem was only with GPUGrid, and not other projects. On one of my PCs with a GTX750ti inside, for long time I had the problem that all of a sudden the GPUGRID task was paused - for unknown reasons. For continuing, I had to put the task on "pause", and then "continue" after about 2 minutes. When I tried other GPU tasks (like Folding@Home), this was not the case. Rather by coincidence I found out that "Suspend when non-BOINC usage is above..." was set at 50%. After I raised it to 80%, the problem did not reoccur. | |

This problem is very old and was reported many times by many people. With no working solution. I came up with one - I'm crunching GPUGRID on Ubuntu. Windows machines are working on folding@home... Suspendind and resuming task works but it has to be done manually. My computers are headless so I cant do that. | |

This problem is very old and was reported many times by many people. With no working solution. well, as I mentioned: after I had raised the percentage in the BOINC settings, the problem did not reoccur. | |

This problem is very old and was reported many times by many people. With no working solution. Ok, with no working solution for me. I have 100% all the time. | |

Ok, with no working solution for me. I have 100% all the time. Sounds like a different problem. In my case, GPU usage goes to 0 and it just sits there. But I no longer suspend BOINC tasks when the computer is in use or when CPU usage exceeds a certain level -- and so far, it appears to be working. ____________ | |
