I am not knowledgeable about computers (or cars) so I need some assistance.
I had uninstalled the program after it stopped working after 1 day. I then installed it again the next week, but since then have not received even 1 GPU unit.
Is this common or have I done something wrong?

Is F@H client detecting your GPU?

Looks like no. It did before though. Should I uninstall/reinstall?

If in doubt
- Revo Uninstaller or similar that will remove all traces and previous logs/settings/etc.
- Shut computer off
- Flip switch on PSU to fully shut down from resting C-state
- Unplug from outlet for a minute or two
- Undo all of that and try installing their program again.
Edit: Unplug your router to reset it too.

Before you uninstall anything, open up FAHControl and follow the steps to add a GPU outlined here: https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/configuration-guide/

i followed this for f@h to detect my gpu
check your log in the advanced control panel so see if the gpu is mentioned there

This looks right - I basically followed some of the steps here to remove the CPU slot so that my system only does GPU folding.
I don’t think a full uninstall is needed here, either.

No need to uninstall. Open the FAHControl.exe, go into configuration, look at the slots and add a GPU slot.

Thanks. Looked like I was only using my CPU to fold too . Time to work those GPU fans :D

If you scroll down to the comments, here’s the instruction I gave farscythe. Seemed to work okay for them.

You should notice a big difference in how many WUs get completed if you have a decent GPU.

AMD RX 5700. Should be decent :)

I had to do that recently when a recent Ubuntu upgrade caused my FAH install to go kaput. Ended up doing an uninstall and an manual reinstall and then a manual GPU add
.
