Over the last day or so , unknown to me , my old laptop gpu went mad and started killing work in 12 seconds 648 error workunits by the time I noticed its pending doom I have stopped it now and am doing a full disk scan just in case its the disk , though a reboot may be all it needs BUT Has anyone seen a workunit reissued to the same computer after it got "error while computing" there are several of them that where reissued to the same delinquent system and it mashed them the second time as well for instance - https://moowrap.net/workunit.php?wuid=153667905 I know workunits can be reissued to the same system if they get lost in some way probably a driver crash or the app got in a knot etc and it was not overheating . A simple reboot may indeed fix it as the error message says: [Apr 02 19:57:11 UTC] No AMD STREAM compatible devices found [Apr 02 19:57:11 UTC] Device ID 0 exceed number of detected devices (0), ignored [Apr 02 19:57:11 UTC] No crunchers to start. Quitting... It means it lost the gpu someplace ID: 8441 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
