Hey guys,

I\'m a new user to CP. The last two projects that I have been doing have both been dropped for reasons that I don\'t understand. The only error messages on BOINC that I am getting is:
\"7/06/2005 10:00:16 AM|climateprediction.net|Result 00sq_000005915_0 exited with zero status but no \'finished\' file
7/06/2005 10:00:16 AM|climateprediction.net|If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project.\"

However, from other posts it seems that this error message isnt important. http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=1935

In one of the std_out files I\'m getting:
\"Model abandoned: UM has aborted the model
Detaching shared memory, closing model...\"

It is happening somewhere after my second trickle to the server - sometime after the 21604th timestep, and from what I remember somewhere around 3.00% complete. The result table on cp.net is saying that the \"outcome\" was client error for both projects, and \"client state\" was \"done\" and \"Computing\"

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong, and what solutions there are to stop it happening again?

Im running BOINC 4.43, Win XP, AMD Athlon 2400+, 256M RAM, and Gigs of free space.

Unfortunately there are a few threads about this, for example <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=697">this thread</a>.

The main points being that a -5 error code is a catch-all for computation error.

CP is very intensive and needs very stable machines. Overclock that may appear to work ok with most software could have problems with CP.

It may well be worth running some stability tests. UK Nick did some threads:
