JC, The last 34 results your computer has returned have all been errors. You need to check out what happened to suddenly cause all of those errors. I also just checked and you have not been sent multiple copies of the same workunit. Follow the directions above to take a look at your results returned. thanks, Kevin Kevin, this makes no sense at all. It sounds something on WCG's side of the fence. Nothing is currently being crunched, yet look: Project Name: FightAIDS@Home Created: 09/11/2007 10:07:44 Name: faah2277_ZINC04411139_xmd00830_00 Minimum Quorum: 2 Initial Replication: 2 Result Name Status Sent Time Time Due / Return Time CPU Time (hours) Claimed/ Granted BOINC Credit faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 00_ 2-- In Progress 09/12/2007 00:39:48 09/13/2007 19:51:48 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 00_ 1-- In Progress 09/12/2007 00:33:08 09/21/2007 00:33:08 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 00_ 0-- Error 09/12/2007 00:29:50 09/12/2007 00:32:50 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 Workunit Status Project Name: FightAIDS@Home Created: 09/11/2007 10:07:44 Name: faah2277_ZINC04411139_xmd00830_01 Minimum Quorum: 2 Initial Replication: 2 Result Name Status Sent Time Time Due / Return Time CPU Time (hours) Claimed/ Granted BOINC Credit faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 01_ 2-- Valid 09/12/2007 00:33:00 09/12/2007 08:40:13 1.09 24.1 / 27.5 faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 01_ 1-- Error 09/12/2007 00:24:39 09/12/2007 00:29:50 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 faah2277_ ZINC04411139_ xmd00830_ 01_ 0-- This goes on ad nauseum. Edit: The only thing I have done was to go to the projects tab and then hit the "Update" tab several times (different times when I saw no progress) to no avail. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Johnny Cool at Sep 12, 2007 1:29:10 PM] |

JC,
BOINC has a mechanism that will limit the work sent to a computer that is returning nothing but errors. Starting at 11 Sep 2007 23:35:38 UTC your computer has returned nothing but errors - 34 consecutive errors to be specific. Because of this high level of errors that your computer is returning, the server is limiting the work sent to your computer. Once your computer starts processing workunits correctly again, the limit will be automatically lifted and you will be able to get workunits freely again. Kevin |

Kevin Kevin, sounds like a possible Boinc issue in the code. Mainly it has (#1) a poor mechanism for keeping proper time progress when you stop it to for whatever reason (doing an image flash for example). And yes, these work units can really defrag a partition to an amazing degree (I run Diskeeper 10 Pro). |

JC, no machine from 1 second to the other starts cycling work units and exits them virtually immediately upon loading, hence the 0.00 time reported.
----------------------------------------Now, the jobs WCG runs are RAM intensive. It is very well possible that your RAM in the higher regions went wonky. Suggest you run some utilities like memtest86 to see if they pass. And please, don't run disk-defraggers while crunching. They do corrupt things, so is my negative experience with several like Wins own, Perfectdisk and UltimateDisk. Not even in background or low priority.

JC - I had this problem (all error WUs had 0.00 hours). A reboot fixed it - you said you were going to shut down your PC last night....did you?

Yes, I shut down my PC last night. Well, I will run memtest86 this weekend as this is my work PC. I always snooze Boinc when I defrag.
----------------------------------------Could be a HW error on my PC. Will check that out ...  Thx all. |

I ran memtest86 V1.07 for only just over an hour. After a WallTime of 25:23 minutes, it showed 18 errors. After about 70 minutes, it showed 20 errors.
----------------------------------------5 tests were completed. I think all the errors were in cache 2 (L2). Is that too many errors to make a big difference?

L2 cache is usually build into the CPU. OCing may have burned your CPU? At any rate if you have not a single good WCG results since, I, a none tech, would think you've fried your cruncher.

Sekerob my friend, that would be bad advice. Several possible reasons to search / test for. I already have sent two valid results and one error which was really "hen pecking". I took a screen shot of it. |
