    Not that the GPU in my system is top notch, but it's perfectly capable of doing OpenCL, yet in FAH it fails misserably (don't know if driver or FAH problem). A shame.

    Are you using the latest WHQL Drivers from AMD? If not, you may try that and see if you are successful or not.

    I was using the 13.9 WHQL and later on tried the 13.11 beta. Neither of them worked. I doubt that this issue is fixed in the 13.12, taking into consideration that (AFAIK) there's no word on OpenCL stability improvements.

    Edit: Actually... now that I check your nickname, I'm pretty sure that you tried to help out with the debugging, but nothing clear came out of it, so disabling the GPU was the only way to make FAH work correctly on my tiny system. Oh well.

    Humm, AFAIK, there are occasional reports of some low-end GPUs from 5000 Series to 7000 Series which have trouble folding with FahCore_17 (version 0.0.52). In some rare cases, using an older FahCore_17 version works. Hopefully, the development team can figure it out and fix it in the next release.
