... but the results in question were returned before the dates shown here.

The error messages I referred to were the ones shown in My Grid, Results Status. I'm not clear if these would have been repeated in BOINC manager on the actual device?

This device runs overnight and would have gone into hibernation at 06:30 today. I restarted it at about 10:48 to get the data you asked for.

Sorry for the confusion, but I find this BOINC stuff utterly confusing at the moment. When I was young I used to find change stimulating and refreshing... now it's just something else to be endured!

David.

The FAQ section maintainede by the CA's on WCG called 'Start Here', has an item on the VFAQ item of '1812' (always reminds me of a Napoleontic event). http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=15646

Shortly I'll be posting an FAQ listing down the various existing error logs, which are all found in the BOINC program directory, the key being stdoutdae.txt. On slower crunchers it holds months of entries. Also stderrdae.txt can hold the interesting stuff to post, so we can have a communal look without having the second guess.

From looking at the log above, hope your virtual memory is auto-expand. It being too tight could in combination with other processes lead to issues, otherwise 3 invalid, 3 error would recommend a memtest86 run and verification you got all the latest video drivers.

The [zero status] error is amongst as Dave indicates a classic hibernation notification. I think you wrote the manual. Timing important, i switched off any auto system time synching getting rid of most of these messages. You'll see them at mostly at restart.... just ignore them unless you see many appearing in a short time frame.

The unhandled exception i've seen in every DDD-T log. Not sure, but maybe it's looking for a checkpoint, when at start there is no checkpoint.
Added: The link of course :O

Throttle, yea, are yu running 'Minimum Impact' or 'Maximum Output' profile? The log suggests you've not attached to any device profile, suggesting default, suggesting you're running at 60%. It's been a source for some to have problems.

David,

I have an older device that was also getting a lot of invalids. I noticed that the only stable project that the device was not getting invalids was FAAH. Once I changed that device's profile to crunching just FAAH's, I have not had a single invalid. I think the HPF2 and DDDT projects do not like older systems. Look at your valids and invalids and see if a pattern similar to mine emerges. It may be as simple as just changing your profile.
