Hey Team^^
Every once in a while I get this error, and folding stops, say a couple of times a week.
It can run for days sometimes, but then a sorrow sight meets me in the morning.
The error log says it pritty clear, GPU memtest error.
Question is, if the gpu was failing, wouldn't it fail right away, instead of go for days before it fails?
Is it possible this error has another source than the GPU itself, or is my GPU done?
If I just quit and start up again, it runs for a couple of days again.

    check your system
    7c maybe another issue related to windows trying to use GPU while you are folding
    errors like this can be related to sleep mode or heavy graphics use while folding
     
    or MB DDR because GPU runs are now checked/Verified by CPU/RAM
    so checking stability should be job #1
     
    read 7A and 7B

    Think I got it.
    7A
    "One known cause is switching user sessions in Windows whilst folding or the use of Microsoft's Remote Desktop (both of which disable and cause a reset the GPU, crashing the FahCore)."
    This is my Office computer, which I check on when I'm not there, especially in the weekends.
    I use Remote desktop and VPN Client.
     
    Thank you for the most helpful link^^
