Has anybody ever have a reliable machine all of a sudden throw out EUE’s? My folding machine completed ~60 WU’s just fine, then threw out 5 or 6 EUE’s in a row. I shut it down to run tests but it seems fine.

Check the FAHlog.txt and see if the WUs end for the same reason.

There are hardware problems, especially memory, that will cause EUEs. Heat will do it also, and blowing out a system has cured some really hard-to-find problems.

Software issues start with spyware and virus problems and progress to Windows becoming unstable. Video drivers can also cause problems. Was your system updated by M$ last Tuesday? Ruh Roh.

Now, if you are running new work units the natural regression patterns will find that half of work units will fail. Its natural and will get better as out-of-bounds solvations are excluded.

When in doubt, go ahead and erase the existing work files and reload F@H. Better to lose one WU than a dozen.
