Hello,

please post here the error log.

Thanks for the replies!
Yes there seems to be some sort of glitch perhaps in some batches.

Here are my error logs anyway:

Seems also now I did get some valid ones too, but in different batches...

We are looking into the issues and will report back once we know more. Based on reports in the forums it does look like an issue with restoring from a checkpoint for a certain type of workunits we are running now. A temporary workaround until we have a permanent solution in place would be to turn on the setting to leave the applicaiton in memory when suspended to reduce the likelihood of a restart.

Thanks,
armstrdj

Thanks for the info!
And for all replies from everyone!

I also run with "leave application in memory while suspended", but I know that there was a computer power cycle in-between start and finish of those invalid WUs.

Now I have returned mostly valid results as well with that 7850K so that's good. Yes, it seems it does have something to do with checkpoints, since I have not a single invalid returned on from my main 3930K cruncher which operates 24/7 so there should be no (or very few) checkpoint restarts needed there.

Alright crunching on...

I just checked my rigs and I've got a fair few invalid as well, here's my list.

The only time these might get restarted, is when I restart in the mornings.
