recovering lost work

[jaawood]

Hey all, my computer was having difficulties, and so i restarted, but when i started F@H again, it downloaded a new WU instead of continuing with the previous. This really annoys me becase i was at 400ish out of 500 frames. Anybody know how this lost work can be used or recovered?

sadly, it cant. :(

[jaawood]

Well, crap. Thanks anyway, i guess ill just let this new wu go then....

[Twisted]

was the comp o/c at all?

[jaawood]

nope, just kinda crashed. i think my windows installation is slowly corrupting....if that is possible. if i try to do too much stuff at once it just craps.

[Twisted]

ok, becuase with too much o/c on a computer, folding has been known to crash

Whenever im testing out my OC's, I dont call them stable unless they will run F@H with no corrupt WU's. Right before i start, I zip my FAH folders up. Then if they corrupt i just unzip the folder back and clock it back a bit.

If you corrupt them they are gone. Sucks especially now, Since all the WU's are big 33+ instead of 9 - 15points in the past

[jaawood]

alrighty, thanks for the tip

Luckily, at least with gromacs, you get partial credit when it tanks. As the summer temps rise my air-cooled system's max OC lowers, so I've had some WUs fail but it sends what it was able to do. For instance, I got 33 points out of a 53 point WU before. Nice of Stanford to allow this.
