Why my wallet is out of sync all the time?

I downloaded gridcoin.zip,and launch Gridcoin-qt.exe,then colsed it.I put the gridcoin.conf in the data directory (C:\users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Gridcoin),and I reboot Gridcoin-qt.exe.But the wallet still haven't any change after two hours.

The bottom right prompt:
"No block source available...
0 active connection to Gridcoin network"

My gridcoin.conf:

rpcuser=*******
rpcpassword=********
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
server=1
gen=0
addnode=98.114.181.178
addnode=76.187.184.27:9778
addnode=66.187.94.194:9778
addnode=76.74.177.224:9778
addnode=84.125.196.167:9778
addnode=71.233.139.62:9778
addnode=72.92.48.105:97788


In addition, my other coin's wallet are all normal in sync.

I sometimes encounter issues syncing some wallets if I run multiple coin clients at the same time. Have you tried running Gridcoin by itself to see if the issue persists...?

If you run Gridcoin by itself and the issue goes away then it i likely a port conflict with one of your other clients and you can add this line to your gridcoin.conf:
Code:
port=#####

Just be sure to replace "#####" with an actual number.

If Gridcoin works when you run it by itself but not when you run other clients even after a port change, then it likely means that the coin clients are competing for I/O and your cpu can't keep up.

If Gridcoin doesn't work even when you run it by itself, have changed and forwarded the listening port, then I really have no possible idea what could be wrong.
