"Compute Error"

[encorp]

Yeah I'll go stock right now and try it for a day or two.

So I restarted the task. Also I -was- closing BOINC during online gaming a few times but now I found the "snooze" option, maybe that was it?

I think it's happening enough that I'd like to figure out why; go here and look at my tasks and let me know what you guys think please?

What are your core temps when running BOINC??

Also what other programs are running at the same time as BOINC? I find that these errors occur because BOINC gets sudden drops in processing time, so lets say your playing a game for instance. BOINC runs at a low priority, so when other applications take up processing time it messes up your WU.


I would do a re-install of the program just to be sure, also only allow it access to your processor 80% of the time. And try only allowing BOINC to 50% or 75% of your processors (on your quad, so it uses 2 or 3 cores instead of all 4)

ps. I had a few errors when I started using BOINC, limiting the processing time to 70%, or 80% fixed it. Problem didn't seem to be related to a overclock.

Is your rig set to halt on errors without reboot? If your rig is rebooting when your not around it will give this error. I know because I've had some problems with my current ram, except I get a BSOD. I don't have my OC on right now and my temps are great (doesn't even get to 41 degrees with both cores at 100%).

Just a thought. Good luck.

Well, not tons but 6 on one rig, and 7 on the other out of 140. Though both Quads are still crunching along, even after the errors.

But thanks anyway, I didn't know about that page.

My rig is not halting on any errors or rebooting when I'm not around, I'm sure of that because I remotely connect to it all the time from work etc and it's set to not reboot if it errors, so it'd be off when I got home.

My temps while running BOINC on all 4 cores are really good, even at the OC below I'm never over 35°c. I had recently ran BOINC a few times and forgot and went and played COD4 or TF2 while it ran. Maybe that is it?

Anyways I've set my comp to stock for now; I'll run OCCT through tonight to test it out to double check.

[encorp]

Well it wasn't my OC. I just got a compute error this morning on one. It also isn't my profile settings, I'm only allowing it to use two cores, 70% time etc. I havn't reinstalled, although I don't see how that could be the problem - but I'm going to give it a shot - any other ideas?

[3.0charlie]

I'd still go for a re-install; as for my setup, I haven't done anything, and still have compute errors alongside completed WUs...

[encorp]

I'd like to get mine fixed, I'm losing out on lots of points because of it ahaha

[DK2]

no errors here, but I've been running pretty low for a while, what version you using?

[Jon_di2]

Ya I'd go for a re-install, maybe another version. Make sure you use the one for Vista 64
