I'm getting what I think is an unusual number of computation errors on 1 machine. The errors are coming on 3 different projects, FAAH, C4CW and C4CW betas.
----------------------------------------C4CW error log Result Name: c4cw_ target01_ 205222425_ 1-- <core_client_version>6.10.18</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> Incorrect function.

I'm running basically the same project mix on 4 machines and this is the only one producing errors.

Hi nanoprobe,
----------------------------------------Of course when you saw multiple sciences failing and on the highest hex too - exit code -1 (0xffffffff) you did a soft system boot, so expecting them to not show again soon. Let us know.

Thanks Sekerob. I just rebooted this machine 2 days ago after some MS updates but I'll do it again and see what gives. Stay tuned.

Are you running additiona projects on that machine (Other than the ones mentioned)?

Are you running additional projects on that machine (Other than the ones mentioned)? The machine in question runs FAAH, C4CW and DDDT2 when available. It also receives betas as they are available. I know computation errors happen but this machine had 6 yesterday. 4 C4CW and 1 each FAAH and C4CW beta.

Would not want to point finger at MS either nor AV/Firewall. Maybe a little hardware diag if it starts appearing again, most certainly on FAAH... the old faithful amongst WCG sciences and maybe a project reset to refresh all the science app components after first running cache dry. Duo and Quad chirpingly happy with the C4CW jobs, Linux cranking them out at 1.25 to 1.27 BOINC hours.

I have quite a few machines running c4cw at the moment. Among them are Ubuntu, Win7, Vista and XP. Quads, Core2 Duo, P4, Atom... So quite a variety. I have sucessfully processed 1,379 c4cws and have had 15 inconclusives but no errors. All of the non Ubuntu machines have Microsoft Security Essentials and the Windows firewall. It looks like you are O/Clocked and perhaps you are a bit too close to the limit for entirely reliable operation. You might try backing off your settings at least during the warmer periods. -- Just a suggestion.

This box is overclocked and has been running with no errors for months. I originally had it running 24/7 at 3.8 GHz but decided to back off to 3.6 Ghz to eliminate any potential stability problems. It doesn't crash or reboot. I have other boxes running at equal or higher % overclocked than this one without issues. I'm going to back off to 3.4 Ghz and see what happens. Don't know what else to do but I don't think the overclock is the culprit.

Don't know what else to do but I don't think the overclock is the culprit. Of course it could be many more things than I know but it sounded like that might be the cause. These things are often temperature sensitive and I was thinking that the machine may be in a slightly warmer environment due to the weather or other factors or may have accumulated some dust bunnys inside that could cause the temporary errors (which would cause continually increasing problems). In any case, I hope I have not caused a wild goose chase. Have a great day and thanks for crunching here at WCG.  |

In any case, I hope I have not caused a wild goose chase. Have a great day and thanks for crunching here at WCG. I do appreciate any input. This box is water cooled so heat is not an issue. Even @ 3.8 GHz the temps hovered around 60c. At 3.6 GHz temps are mid 50s. It also has 3 other 120mm fans (2 in 1 out on top). I'm beginning to think the culprit is the mobo. It's an ECS which I traded for and have never used before this one. The BIOS setup is the worst I've ever seen but that's another topic. I backed the OC down to 3.4 GHz and we'll see what happens. I'm going to let it finish the cache of WUs it has and then switch it to Linux for a comparison test. Thanks for the help.
