What are the specific error messages when it keeps erroring?

I note that BOINC does not identify your CPU as an XP 2800+. Is it overclocked or running in a motherboard that does not identify it correctly? Just wondering.

have a slight OC on it

sence the new model is doing the same thing and sence no one seems to have any input on the subject, I will detach and find another endever.
I may return in six months and try then to see if the software works.
it is just too bad because I believe that this is one of the more worthy projects out there.

It may be worth checking your system for stability, lots of information can be found in the BOINC wiki (http://boinc-doc.net/wiki/) and by searching this site, a good general one to try is the GIMPS Prime95 software running the various torture tests.

Also what were the specific error messages you recieved when the models fail? that information would help a lot in diagnosing the problem

I dont get a boinc error windows tells me x program has encountered a problem and must shutdown. boinc acts like the program is running but no clock ticks ,task manager shows program ether not in memmory or just not useing any resorces. when I shut down boinc and then restart it runs for a short period 1 to 5 min and then windows pops up with x program has encountered a problem.
BTW seti and Einstein run with no prob

do you report the errors to microsoft (if not then try) as you should get a brower window open that displays a page on the oca.microsoft.com server (online crash analysis) giving an indication to why the crash happened

also how did the stability tests go?

Lee

The best error messages for cp fault finding are in stdoutdae.txt, in the BOINC folder.

also try stderrdae.txt
but if it's crashing before it's got a chance to write the info to the files then they won't be much help

I believe I have fixed the problem I excluded the Boinc folder from active virus protection and all seems well. I also stoped BoincView although Im not sure how that would interfere. does anyone else run BoincView 1.02 with climate?

I\'ll be honest, i don\'t know what boincview does, but if it\'s just for remote management, then you can do that by installing boinc as a service and then the manager is seperate from the actual cruncher, so you can connect to the boinc service on other PCs
read paul\'s info about setting it up here - http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=Remote_Hosts_File
and here - http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=BOINC_Daemon_Password

I\'ve only used the in-built boinc rpc features, but i\'ve never had problems with it, it\'s always worked

Lee

does anyone else run BoincView 1.02 with climate?

Yes. It runs fine as long as you don\'t rely on its estimates for completion (too long) or credits (too low).

just an update project still running second trickle sent.
my prob must have been the active virus scan every time a file opens or closes.

most probably, i\'ve heard that some \"lock\" the file with exclusive access (so BOINC won\'t have a chance)

although i must admit i\'ve never had a problem with this myself
just for the record, what brand, version/flavour of virus scanner are u using, incase others have this problem

E-Trust AV Ver 7.0.6.7
made by computer associates.
product works great climate just didnt like to wait for it to scan each time it opened the WU

It\'s probably a good thing that it has a low tollerance for file errors, considering it has so many dependancies and if something if even slightly wrong, it could alter the outcome of the model

but glad to hear your back in business :)

Happy crunching
