If I restarted BOINC, it would continue on for a while, and then hang again. The machine is running as a service. I know other projects have gotten into the habit of displaying a dialog box on error. This is an extremely bad idea as a service does not normally have the ability to display a dialog box, and the symptom is a hang for no apparent reason. BOINC WIKI ID: 17427 · Reply Quote

Thus, restarting BOINC usually \"cures\" it. I have not noticed if it it prevelent at one stage more than another. BUt, BOINC View may show it at 0% efficiency indicating it is not spinning up. Unfortunately, windows systems do not write some of the additional messages in the log like OS-X (and Linux I think) science applications ... ID: 17528 · Reply Quote
