New PC getting Computation Error

I just built a new Ryzen 5800X with 32GB DDR4 on Windows 11 Pro.
The machine downloaded 8 ARP work units and showed computation error within 2-3 seconds for all of them.
Very strange as the machine is rock solid running Open Pandemics and also passed over an hour of various stress testing on Prime95.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

Posting one of the error messages would help.

Definitely!! Also, how many of the 16 "CPUs" does BOINC have access to, how many of those ARP1 tasks did it try to run at the same time, and is it also running work for projects other than WCG at the same time???

It's harder to give help here than on a lot of other BOINC-based projects because we can't see computer details or workunit details for other users -- debugging with too much guesswork makes for longer threads and slower solutions! So the more information in the original message (within reason!), the better... :-)

Just to see if the problem is too many ARP units at once, try just downloading one ARP unit with either nothing else running or a minimal amount of other stuff and see if it still chokes.
I also agree with the other posters and please post about the first 50 or so log messages.
Cheers

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

One further question. You said it downloaded 8 ARP units. At what point did the error occur? If they all started running at the same time they might have been trying to checkpoint at the same time and that could cause "indigestion" do to the high workload at checkpoint.
I try to keep checkpoints and finish at least 2 minutes apart by briefly suspending the second one. It doesn't matter which checkpoint we are talking about, they are all a problem capacity-wise. They occur at each 12.5%.

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

It would probably be best if you show us the URL, or post the contents of the Result Log, of at least one task that errored out.

You can find the result of each task by surfing to Results, then clicking the magnifying glass and typing: ARP (or just A).
* This will most probably show your results that errored out with Status "Error".
If there are no results showing "Error" and you have a lot of other ARP1 results, click on the funnel icon (Filter Panel) and tick the 'Error' box there, then click 'Apply filters'.
Next, click on one of the Result names of a task that errored out. Then post the URL of that workunit result here.

After doing that, if we click on the link "Error" there, we can see the contents of your Result Log.

Examples:
- the URL of a workunit
Output looking like this:

Result name        OS type      Status Sent time           Due / Return time   CPUtime/Elapsed Claimed/Granted
ARP1_0015698_112_0 Linux Fedora Error 2021-12-21 01:32:26 2021-12-21 02:58:35 -/- -/-
ARP1_0015698_112_1 Linux Arch Valid 2021-12-21 01:31:24 2021-12-23 00:06:49 34.78/35.18 611.3/615.5
ARP1_0015698_112_2 Linux Ubuntu Valid 2021-12-21 03:05:38 2021-12-24 10:48:13 27.58/29.61 619.6/615.5

- the Result Log of a task
Output looking like this:

<core_client_version>7.16.11</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

Thanks for the many replies. The PC was running only 1 Open Pandemics work unit and 1 to 2 ARP units at the same time. The other ARP units were still in the midst of being downloaded. Here's the error log from one of them:

<core_client_version>7.16.20</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

How about the event log under tools. See if you can find the relevant entries there, the first 50 or so lines.
Cheers

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

That error log suggests there might be a corrupt data file. Check the results pages again to see whether any wingmen are failing or not; by what you said in your original post, they'd probably fail pretty quickly!

If they are failing, there's probably something wrong with the original workunits (and there's nothing much we, as users, can do about that!) -- if they aren't reporting errors then the problem lies elsewhere and someone may have some more ideas as to why yours fails when others don't.

Cheers - Al.

Re: New PC getting Computation Error

Thanks guys. Since it is likely to be a batch of corrupted data files, I will try to download some ARP work units to try again later. At the moment it seems there are no ARP units available.
