instead of having us look up your error messages just head to the BOINC FAQ
its simple and easy to do

Instead of being condescending, why not just answer the question for the man?

Maybe you were, could not tell by the tone of your post.

not there :/

It's no good looking up Boinc error codes as it isn't a Boinc error,
it's an exit code from the setiathome 6.08 app,
If you then do an Advanced search here for -12 you get this post from Joe (in the Sticky thread Optimized CUDA Issues & '-12 Unknown error'):

cudaAcc_find_triplets erroneously found a triplet twice in find_triplets_kernel
File: ..\analyzePoT.cpp

A realtively frequent problem that has not been tracked down yet as far as I know. Just ignore - not a problem your end.

F.

It's actually thoroughly understood, a design decision was made that the find_triplets_kernel running on the GPU would bail out if more than one triplet was found in the array it was checking. It sets a flag and quits, the comment attached is:

// Reporting Error, more than one result per PoT, redo the calculations on CPU

When the part of the CUDA code which runs on the CPU sees the flag, rather than trying to redo the calculation, it does:

SETIERROR(UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION, "cudaAcc_find_triplets erroneously found a triplet twice in find_triplets_kernel");

The "UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION" becomes an exit code of -12 which BOINC shows as unknown.

As has been seen, occurrence of a triplet which is actually part of a quadruplet or one of the other patterns which can cause more than one triplet in a PoT is fairly rare. But given hundreds of thousands of tasks a day it happens often enough that the design decision has been proven bad. If the VLAR problem didn't exist perhaps this lesser issue would have been cleaned up by now.

                                                                   Joe

and if you run the optimised Cuda apps, they tend to have a computational error instead of getting a -12 exit.

have a look at this page for a possible explanation of the stop code
0xfffffff4 this was the top choice in Google.just looked at your computer page it says that your running Vista so this may not apply to you try Microsofts website they may have an explanation of it.
