It might be an unstable OC, can you run the Prime95 torture test without problems?

What version of 2.0 are you using - Text Only or Graphical?

If you are running the text version, try deleting the work folder under FAH2. This is the folder containing work to be done. It will download more work and start over. I have had problems like that and it was "bad work". :)

Good ideas everyone. You could also try deleting the core_65.exe. The client will get a new one. Sometimes these files are corrupt.
Also, as sfa ok pointed out an overclock that will work for almost anything may still not be stable enough to handle the folding client.

ok how do i access the work files to delete them i have just the data console.it isn't the oc it had run for a long time before this happend,in fact fah is the prog i used to find my highest possible oc and this is rock solid.

You should have a work folder under the install directory mine was under C:\program files\folding@home

There you can find the work files.

I find that the console version is much more stable for me. I have been having lockups crashes and other problems with the other client. I have all my system on the console version. I have no problems.

You can download the console version and run it from the C:\program files\folding@home directory and it will pick up the work from the other client.

opps for got to spell check :) I cant spell. Am lucky I can even talk

Hmm, is this the 1.34 client?

If so go to http://folding.stanford.edu and download version 2 see if that works.

When that install put in your username without the (www.overclockers.com) and team 32 when it asks you for that.
