Did you exclude the Boinc folders from the Virus scanning software, and did you setup Firewall exceptions for Boinc?

Anything in your event logs?

You could check for chipset/Bios updates and set log files to try to get a better picture of what is happening/not happening (its a bit of work though):

To do this you would need to create/edit a cc_config.xml file:

Create (or edit) the cc_config.xml file in this folder (Win7),
C:\ProgramData\BOINC\

It's usually the handiest to just right click in the folder and select to create a new text document, or open an existing one as a text document. When you have entered the text just save it as cc_config.xml (select all file types when you go to save it).

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<cpu_sched>1</cpu_sched>
<task_debug>1</task_debug>
<app_msg_receive>1</app_msg_receive>
<app_msg_send>1</app_msg_send>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

The following flags might also be useful,
<checkpoint_debug>
<cpu_sched_debug>
<mem_usage_debug>
<rr_simulation>

One of the tech's could probably advise what to look for better than I can, if they think it's worth doing.

Note, you need to restart (close and open) Boinc to get these settings to kick in.

The last resort would be just to run other tasks for now, and periodically try these ones again (with default settings); there might be app/task changes that make them work in the future.

Good luck,

I have a log file, but it grows very quickly with all those options on.

I imagine you'd like me to provide a link to the file as opposed to posting it here.

d_a_dempsey,

Something is preventing the qchem process, wcgrid_cep2_qchem_6.40_windows_intel86*32, from getting any cpu time. Normally I would say it is Antivirus software or something like that but typically that would result in the process crashing with an error. I would not normally recommend looking too much into the slot directory but for this case we need to. If you look into the slot directory of a running cep2 task you should see two directories. First there should be a "qcaux" directory, ignore this one, second there should be a working directory for the current qchem job named something like "A.24.C18H13N5S.32.4.bp86.svp.n.pbe0.tzvp.n.sp", it will be different based on your task. This directory will not be created until the initialization is complete so it may take a little bit of time. In this directory look to see if there is a "stdout.txt" file. If so please open it in notepad and copy the contents to another file and send this to the support email address given by SekeRob. Thanks for your patience in trying to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

The work units do not complete, do not error. There are no error results for this project from this device.

@armstrdj
I bravely ignored the qcaux directory and went directly to C.24.C22H14N2.00112949.4.noopt.bp86.sto6g.n.sp. Unfortunately, there are only two files in it:

Directory of C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\9\C.24.C22H14N2.00112949.4.noopt.bp86.s
to6g.n.sp

I'm not sure I understand what you're telling me to do. Are you asking me to:

• Reinstall allowing PAE?
  
• Reinstall not as a PAE but allowing all users?
  
• Something else?
  

I am the only user account on this computer.

Thank you,
