errrrrr lost my protein "Properly shutdown"

I dont know what is going on but this is the second time that i made it to about 20% done on a PTrpCage and then the next morning i get up and start it all back up and it downloads another and acts like the existing one isnt there. So im a little upset, with whatever is going on. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

And im using Client 3.14 console Gromacs

If your system is overclocked you may have to reduce your OC a couple of notches to ensure that there is no instability with the FAH78_core.exe.

The Gromacs core is more sensitive to OC's than the Tinker core.

I had some problems on my rig # 2, I had to drop the OC from 150 FSB to 147 FSB to have stability.

My rig # 1 has NO problems at FSB 159.

Try to reduce your OC and see what happens. If the problem continues you should probably post a copy of your log file here so that someone can read through it and maybe figure out what is going on.

Good luck.

What is it talking about "Previous termination of core was improper."
I use EMIII to shut it down,I have it set so when i turn off EMIII it alos turns off Console. Is there a another way i should be doing it?

 

[Cerial_Killer]

OK I shut down the current project 4 times using EMIII before it could get going and it did it agian. It said...

So my question is how am I supposed to close this thing I dont want to leave my pc running?

 

[Gnerma]

To close the console press Control + C. Always close the console like that or you will have the problems you are having.

Thanks For the reply, I couldnt find the anwser on the Team site, maybe it could be added to the Q&A

 

[rich99million]

as long as it's you shutting it down i don't see a problem with using the -forceasm switch which stops it checking to see if it was incorrectly shut down last time

your shortcut should look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\FAHConsole1\FAH3Console.exe" -advmethods -forceasm

Thanks I just added it to the shortcut and it said
Assembly optimizations manually forced on.
Not checking prior termination.

Thanks guys
