Hi All,

Please help!!!

I used to run Seti a few years back and never seemed to have any problems, until now LOL.

I have 2 projects waiting to be uploaded.

The first project is completed and am aware of the problems with the uploading, which is sort of explained in the Technical News.

The second project says COMPUTATION ERROR, however is also attempting to upload.

Does the error mean my PC has computed it incorrectly or that the data I received was corrupt?

Would just like to know if I should leave it as it is or abort the second project?

Many Thanks

JT

What is the exact error message in the Message tab for that unit?

If you can find the error message, you can look it up in the error message list in the Wiki.

But usually it's not your fault. It may have been a corrupt work unit.
It's just being returned to the Seti server to check against other people's results. If more people have run into this unit with an error of sorts, it's something for the Seti people to look into.

Hi Jason

I can't determine what the cause for the error is. BOINC can be a bit delicate with overclocked computers, but I see that your machine has delivered a good result already.

In any case its already uploading. Don't kill it. The server will take note of the error ant send the WU to another user if needed.

All about BOINC: BOINC-Wiki (by Paul D. Buck)

Cheers for info Greybeard.
Was wondering if my completed upload, uploaded OK and guess so.

This is the error in the messages section and under the WORK tab it says Computation Error in the status.

25/08/2005 08:38:06|SETI@home|Resuming computation for result 28oc03ab.6636.2529.792340.231_1 using setiathome version 4.18
25/08/2005 08:48:51|SETI@home|Unrecoverable error for result 28oc03ab.6636.2529.792340.231_1 (Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1))

Hope This Helps

The Wiki blames your videocard. ;)

Now for a giggle!!! LOL
I am running
XP SP2
Norton Systemworks 2005
Norton Internet Security 2005
Intel Celeron 500mhz CPU
768MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce MX420 64MB Graphics Card


I found this Info,

Looks like i'm not the only one and could be anything and I'll just have to see how it goes. Could be my PC, but first time I've had an error like this.


I found something to do with mixed client work and not matching, and also other info below.


These are other recent posts in forums:-

Yes, all of the mfoldB125 workunits numbered t0201E_1_700 and less are faulty and are likely to give this error. It has been fixed for newer workunits.

I ran into a Fortran error on BOINC 4.19 too, but I forgot to copy down the error message. However, I suspect the work unit is faulty, please see: http://predictor1.scripps.edu/workunit.php?wuid=178824



This project completed perfectly and waiting upload.
