BOINC tasks failures

[Maxwell]

I am beginning to suspect it is one of the projects I am running. And frankly, I suspect SETI. I am running it on ATI cards with the optimized seti@home app, only on those two machines. My other windows machine running seti@home GPU is nVidia optimized. All the other machines running SETI are Macs, using the stock app, and only astropulse.

Oh fun. Might be worth posting the app_info file to see if we can spot the setting in there...

Update: Started happening on my i7-3770K windows machine with the nVidia card. I have stopped SETI work on all three now, and thinks seem to be working properly. Stay tuned.

It is not any of the config file, as this just started happening, and I haven't changed anything since August. I am thinking maybe one of the recent windows updates clashes with this app, or the drivers, or something. Nothing else has changes on the machines.

it came back after a while. Another couple things in common with the three machines:

- only these three are running BU, 3x rbox 32 each
- only these three are running the new LHC VM. Maybe there is something different about the win version? I know there are bugs specific to the Mac and Linux versions of the app.

Well, I am completely perplexed and frustrated. But at least I have it solved for now. I had to go back to an old version of BOINC, 7.2.42. No more errors. The only problem is that this version is before the BU modifications were added. So each of the BU tasks are back to taking a full CPU thread. Ugh.

Were you running 7.4.36 before the reversion?

[zombie67]

Yeah. Started at 7.4.36, then the latest, then back to 7.2.42.
