	Alright, let us know how it goes from scratch then.... Surely it shouldn't behave weirdly from a blank slate :-X.

	I removed the FLOPS enrty some time ago, after installing BOINC 6.10.56, it wasn't necessary, afterall, runtimes were estimated quite correct after 2 or 3 MB (or AP) WU's, had run. (Also no 'room' for errors, there) ____________ Knight Who Says Ni N!, OUT numbered.................

If you don't have any, don't worry about it ;) [Edit: ... Yet... still trying to work out why when CPu & cuda multibeam estimates dial in, and task duration correction factor approaches 1, why CPU Astropulse tasks with no flops entry is at least an order of magnitude out ... about 17 times too long an estimate with Core2 running optimised, and no flops entries in place.... hopefully it's some server side thing converging ... otherwise it's really quite broken somewhere.] Jason ____________ "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.

	Removed Boinc and all it's directory's, including the work directory. Reinstalled everything, waiting now for work. Might be 3 hours before that happens. Any results yet? I seem to have exactly the same problem on one of my pc's. Since June 19, ak_v8_win_ssse3x.exe seems crashes with every CPU unit at exactly 2 hr 6 min 11 sec (around 96% of completion). For some reason, the failed units were reported and immediately dissapeared from the list. There are only 3 CPU units listed under errors for this host and two of these results appear to be failed GPU units. The Windows Event Log lists a total of 30 crashes of ak_v8_win_ssse3x.exe. Fortunately (;-) there are upload problems so the newly crashed CPU tasks are not reported. I looked up the status in the client_state file and they failed with Exit code -177 and stderr_out for the failed units start with: Maximum elapsed time exceeded This host in question has been running in this configuration for around 14 months without any problems. Since this host is wasting a lot of tasks anyway I will start by removing the flops from the app_info file and see what happens... ____________

	I thought I would add this to this post instead of making a new one. I am getting a runtime error but mine is not when starting the program but when trying to bring the graphics up for Seti, I get home.berkeley.edu\setigraphics_6.03_windows_intel86.exe any ideas ? I am new to this if you can not tell :-)

I am new to this if you can not tell :-) For a BOINC 6.x installation, the fully qualified name of the program which is launched to show SETI@home graphics ends with \projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\setigraphics_6.03_windows_intelx86.exe indeed. I don't recall other users having a runtime error, can you give any more detail? There are many Windows XP SP3 users here who can probably help. Joe

All Cuda tasks are failing and yet nothing is showing as an error on my graphics card using any test software. Thanks in advance The error messages suggest your drivers/dll files. I'd suggest you upgrade from the 191 driver to the current (258.96) drivers. 1. Set BOINC so it doesn't auto-start and shut it down. 2. Uninstall the old drivers via control panel, which will require a reboot. 3. When Win 7 comes up it will automatically reinstall basic driver functionality and want another reboot. 4. After that install the "proper" drivers (download from www.nvidia.com/drivers) and yet another reboot. You should be right to start BOINC up after all that. ____________ BOINC blog

	use the http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=428.0 When you see the -177 errors Check the -177 in the expert tab and reschedule. This should eliminate the -177 errors. The runtime estimate correction on the server side seems to be running with mixed results. I've seen correction ratio for 0.3 to 40. Some of these corrections are way off and will cause -177 errors. This will also move the DCF around a bit, one WU has a correction of 1 and another of 40. This can move the DCF from 0.1 to 3 or something like that. ____________ TThrottle Control your temperatures.

	Thank you for the help but it seems like there is still something wrong. Still getting computation erros, any further help appreciated. Might have to revert back to my old card and only use the GTS250 for gaming purposes ratehr than CUDA. Ah well ____________

	I fixed my problem. If anyone out there ends up with a runtime error having to do with the graphics and had put their own background image in the custom settings check the path. I took mine out and it is doing fine now.

	Here is an error code I havent seen. -529697949 (0xffffffffe06d7363) Is there a master list some where of codes we can accsess? You didn't posted an URL.. IIRC this is the BUG of Raistmers CUDA build. Sometimes the detection/output for to solve the -12 error fail and give this -529697949 'out of mem' error. But, sometimes this 'out of mem' error happened also because of your GPU. Overheat, too much OC, faulty GPU/RAM.. or what ever. So if you have an 'out of mem' error and your CUDA wingman have also -12 or -529697949 error, then nothing to worry about. Maybe it would be well to add this error value to the boinc faq. But I would guess this is already there (I don't have this URL in my mind ;-). ____________ >Das Deutsche Cafe. The German Cafe.<

	Not too weird, not all errors are in there. Most of these errors can be found in Google or the Microsoft knowledgebase though. Taking for instance -529697949 (0xffffffffe06d7363), you take the number between the parenthesis, take all those 'f's off and you end up with the error you can look up in Google or the MSKB. In this case it's 0xE06D7363. The errors starts with an E, which is an Exception. So it's a Microsoft C++ Exception code. Where it dropped is in the stderr.txt that got sent back to the project. It would be nice to have a link to the actual task, if you can find it. It's too bad that the replica database is still off line, which makes tracking this error quite difficult at this time. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.
