Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if I missed this discussion in another thread guys, but my Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 Core 2 Duo machine running Boinc 5.10.28 started experiencing a memory overflow blue screen of death last night while crunching two HCC workunits. The machine would BSOD within minutes of reboot until I disabled the BOINC service.
Upon discovering the problem was BOINC related, I updated to Boinc 5.10.30 and aborted both of the active HCC work units. So far, I am having no problem processing other work units (currently HPF). The aborted HCC work units were: X0000041820677200411271707_0 and X0000041830238200411121448_1 I have a couple of new HCC work units in the queue, we will see how they go!  |

"Memory overflow"? That's not a Windows stop error I'm familiar with. What is the actual error code?

First:
----------------------------------------Event 1801: The hardware has reported an uncorrectable memory error. Then: Event 1001: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000f4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xfffffa80053c3a60, 0xfffffa80053c3c98, 0xfffff80001f00da0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. I could send you the crash dump (memory.dmp) file, but it's 315M. ;) Actually Diddy. You are one of the few people I would trust to remote in and snoop around in this machine if you are so inclined.

Thank you, CKizer. The only information that will help me further is the raw data associated with the 1801 event. The second event results from the first one; your computer is configured to treat the memory error as a bugcheck, so Windows creates the dump and dies with a STOP error.
The raw data should look something like this: Offset 0xC : C0000709 = STATUS_HARDWARE_MEMORY_ERROR. Offset 0x10: Stop code that we would have crashed with: PAGE_NOT_ZERO == 0x127 FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE == 0x12B Offset 0x20 & 0x24 : physical address (4-byte aligned) of memory location with the first data error. Note space is left for the full 64-bit physical address. Offset 0x28 : 4-byte contents of the physical address that the first data error. If there is multiple bits set, a DMA-style overwrite is possible. The bad news is that this is a hardware problem. BOINC may trigger it indirectly by giving your hardware a good workout, but it is just exposing an existing hardware problem. Microsoft cite 4 possible causes: a bad memory chip, bad BIOS, overclocked CPU, or a bad driver (one using DMA). |

Bad memory chip - definitely a possibility
Bad BIOS - possible, but I am using the latest from Intel. Overclocked CPU - No, this is one of my Vista test machines at work - No OC here. Bad driver - lol - we are talking Vista x64 SP1 here! Nothing about this setup is stable.  Everything was fine when I came in this morning, I think I'll just let it run and see what happens. Thanks much! ck |

Mickeysoft is backing off their prepatches for SP1 update. Some computers went into infinite boot mode.

Diddy you clever lad! It was a bad memory chip.
 One of my matched 1G DDR2-667 SDRAM modules is toast. So I took this opportunity to order 2 new 2G DDR2-800 modules to replace them!  Thanks again for the assistance. |

It's a miracle SP1 works at all. Seen the list of apps and security software its disabling? Read enough to be ready to wait on SP1 Release 2.0 :D
