OK, I'm flat out going to say I am new at this (I did SETI@Home a long time ago). Tried to search around but didn't stumble on anything about this.
----------------------------------------Signed up for all projects and I have started getting credits, and I had one Work Unit for Clean Energy the I completed on 11/11. However, if I look online, I see absolutely nothing about that work unit. No "In Progress", no "Valid", no "Pending Validation", nothing. I have another CEP work unit listed as "In Progress". The log in the client has this: 11/11/2011 10:10:28 PM World Community Grid Computation for task E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0 finished 11/11/2011 10:10:30 PM World Community Grid Started upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_0 11/11/2011 10:10:30 PM World Community Grid Started upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_1 11/11/2011 10:10:32 PM World Community Grid Finished upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_0 11/11/2011 10:10:32 PM World Community Grid Started upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_2 11/11/2011 10:10:35 PM World Community Grid Finished upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_1 11/11/2011 10:10:35 PM World Community Grid Finished upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_2 11/11/2011 10:10:35 PM World Community Grid Started upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_3 11/11/2011 10:10:35 PM World Community Grid Started upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_4 11/11/2011 10:10:36 PM World Community Grid Finished upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_3 11/11/2011 10:11:49 PM World Community Grid Finished upload of E203832_709_C.30.C24H13N5S.00553506.0.set1d06_0_4 Am I missing something?

Hello and welcome jasonr!
----------------------------------------And when you look at your statistics page, could it be that your first credited result (congratulations) is this CEP2 WU (look at the Stats by project section)? Valid results are leaving the Result Status pages quite fast nowadays, there are so many flowing through WCG every day now. |

Something does appear under Statistics by Projects
Project Points Generated Results Returned Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) Badges Earned The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 247 1 0:000:12:00:00 I believe I only had one WU from CEP2, so that must be it. I had read something that said WUs in the Validated state would stick around for 4 days on the Results Status, but I guess that isn't true anymore? Thanks for the info and the pointer. |

I validate an average 90 WUs a day and my status page counts only 131 valid WUs right now, i.e. a short 1.5 day. If a WU is already several days old when it validates it is probably purged within hours from the active database in order to make room for the new ones which enter the game at a rate of 700,000 to 800,000 per day. |

Welcome jasonvr! Hope you are sticking with our project for a while Best wishes Your Harvard CEP team Thanks for the welcome. I plan on sticking around. However, just had two BSODs in the last 24 hours (the first 4 days went fine) so I had to dial it back a bit. Gonna get approval to put a client on my work PC to process in off hours. |

I don't think wcg is related to your bluescreens. However due to the work done it could trigger some piece of unwanted garbage that is in the system resources such as a third party program that installed itself without your knowing.
Had to run windows defender about three times to get rid of all traces of a third party program that caused bluescreens. So run the windows included windows defender if you are running windows to see if there is any trash in your pc that is in there without your knowledge. |

The computer has been quite stable until the addition of WCG. It's a Dell Studio 1558 which has notorious heat problems (had severe heat problems on my 1555 which had to be replaced under warranty with the 1558 which isn't much better). Spybot S&D is running and monitoring my system as well. My guess is that having the processor at such a high level for so long just overheated the system which led to the BSOD. |

Hello jasonvr,
Heat can certainly be a problem. The first thing is to search for a utility that will show the CPU temperature on your computer. Then there are 2 settings in your profile that will adjust CPU usage. The first thing is the number of BOINC projects to run simultaneously. If you have 2 cores, you might want to run 50% so only one core is used. (There is another instruction to run a set number of projects, but that was used by obsolete versions of BOINC. Now BOINC uses the percentage instruction.) The other instruction is the time percentage for CPU usage. If you have heat problems, I recommend 50%, which means 1 second on, 1 second off. The default laptop setting is 60%, which means 3 seconds on, 2 seconds off. This is very crude, but a multi-OS program like BOINC is difficult to program. A lot of other default settings can use changing. They are set up as a sort of lowest common denominator for different computer systems. Lawrence |

Hi jasonvr,
I'm running CEP2 on the same Dell - heat can indeed be a problem. I put mine on a book which gives the vent slits plenty of room for airflow. That way I can run CEP2 on full load. However, I don't think heat causes your BSOD - when the motherboard or hd get too hot, a heat sensor just performs an emergency shutdown (i.e., the computer just switches off) without blue screen. So the origin is probably somewhere else, maybe missing/incompatible drivers after you installed WCG? Best wishes Your Harvard CEP team |
