Multi GPU Folding (5x Nvidia) - Error starting Folding@Home

So my new folding rig is finally built but I cannot get the client to fold! I've been trying for 2 hours it feels like, searching through every thread. I actually got my primary card up to 2% but decided to cancel so I could create the other 4 GPU clients. But now I can't seem to duplicate the process.

3x 450s, 1 8800 GT, 1 8800 GTS. All 5 cards recognized in Afterburner.

I installed the 8800 GTS drivers first, then I installed the 450 drivers, (I'm assuming there is no 8800 GT drivers as well.)

After that I tried the multi-gpu client. No dice. I then tried manually doing the systray and started getting the above error. After that problem I switched to console exe.

Here is one of the log files.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.
I tried multiple GPUs in short cut. I tried multiple machine IDs. Nothing seems to be working. I'm also running in admin mode.

I need help bad. My head is going to explode.

I added tags for you. :ninja: Why did you install multiple drivers? The latest 266 contains drivers for all the cards. Which slot is this GPU that is having errors?

Why did you install multiple drivers?
The latest 266 contains drivers for all the cards.

When I originally searched for drivers I chose the GTS 8800.  When I started having problems I looked at the GTS 450 drivers and they were different versions.  So I installed those.

I've only tried to install the primary card so far.

My board is setup:
PCIe:
Slot 1 - GTS 450
Slot 2 - GTS 450
Slot 3 - GTS 450
Slot 4 - GT 8800
Slot 5/6 - GTS 8800 (dual slot)

[QUOTE="Boyboyd, post: 12876004, member: 54396"]I had to run my 8800GTS in compatibility mode for windows XP SP3 before it would work. Are all the cards having problems?[/quote]

So far just the GTS 450, I'll try the gts 8800.

Ok here is the GTS 8800 (I think!)  Machine Id 5 -GPU 4.

It's getting a different error msg.  Unstable machine.  This is a fresh install as well.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

Open up GPU-Z and make sure all the cards are showing correctly.
And what drivers are you using now?

Non fermi cards usually have trouble folding on GPU3 client if a Fermi is installed, you may have to install the GPU2 client.

Stop all your clients, exit them all.
Now open the client you made for the first slotted card.

They all show up correctly in GPU-Z. GPU-Z reports drivers as 267.59. However device manager has 450 GTS showing up as 267.59 and 8800 as 266.58.

Reinstalled 267.59 with "clean install option." Exited all folding applications (was only running 1 previously regardless.)

Created fresh install of primary card. It _may_ be working. Getting a message I haven't seen now.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.
I guess its working. The console was just stuck. I hit enter a few times and the %'s popped up. Still no dice on the other 2 cards though.

-gpu 0 is for the first slot
-gpu 1 for the second slot
And so on...

Do not add the force fermi flag if you already have a monitor plugged into it.
Do not open multiple clients while the first slotted card is not folding properly.
Work your way down in order.

Let me know how its going.

I bring nothing to the table I just wanted to mess with Chris. Good luck with getting everything up and running properly.

Ok, so I deleted the work folder, queue.dat, and config file.

I then used the flag:

"C:\\Users\\Folding\\Desktop\\Folding\\GPU - 1\\Folding@home-Win32-GPU.exe" -local -gpu 0 -advmethods

I get this msg:

Code:

You may wish to consider running our standard client,

Yea I tried that. I also tried going from Gpu 0 to Gpu 10 in the shortcut just in case. Still same msg.

I also uninstalled both drivers and reinstalled the 450 GTS driver. So there should be only 1 driver.

Unless I need to go in and delete the driver files individually or something?

Download this client

Yea that was the original client I tried. When I started getting "[23:10:14] + Error starting Folding@home core" I switched to the console as thats what other threads suggested.

I will try again just in case.

I get the same error w/o -forcegpu flag

Adding -forcegpu nvidia_fermi causes "[23:18:07] + Error starting Folding@home core."

Remove all GPUs, test each one individually at folding.
Then add one GPU and 1 client at a time till it errors out.

Ok! It's working. I've got all 3 GTS 450s running. I'll let these run for a few to see if they are stable before adding the 8800s in.

So temps are for all 3 GPUS are: 95C @ 100%. Will that be a problem? 100% GPU load on all 3.

Umm yea!

Its only going to get hotter as time goes by...

Point a fan in between them.

GPUs can tolerate quite a bit more heat that CPUs.

No its not ok, it just started folding now.
Meaning in a little while its going to build up more heat.
