worried about what my gpu is showing me

iv folded for many years but now am being shown a single large spherethat rotates it informs me its a protein and my core is GROMACS but it never makes any progress but uploads results all the time etc here is the veiw log.

is it working ok>>> im using a ATI 4690 hd

It's failing every WU:
[11:56:12] Folding@home Core Shutdown: EARLY_UNIT_END

And though it may send back what is done, that is nothing, since it was an instant failure. 0 Points.

You;re running without the -verbosity 9 flag so some diagnostic information isn't present in the log. It looks loke your card has developed a problem or you installed drivers that caused FAH to fail. It you recently installed drivers, Cat 11.11 for instance, try rolling back to an earlier driver. If you haven't changed drivers, remove any Overclock you have on the card and see if it works at stock.

AMD/ATi cards don't produce many ppd, but they are even worse when using the viewer which steals a lot of cpu and gpu cycles and may cause instability itsself.

is this your only card on the machine? Make sure SLI is off... That happened to me a few weeks back... or reseat/install your card
