try period_interation 10 or 12 instead

Something is seriously wrong somewhere. Your Wu's are failing after 17 seconds which means either something isn't installed correctly or your app_info isn't setup correctly.

I'd go for a reinstall using the Lunatics installer

Neither -period_iterations_num 2 (or other values) nor downgrading to Cat 11.2/SDK2.3 seem to make any difference.

I've got the HD5750 which has only 9 Compute Units @ 700 MHz.

For my Sapphire HD5750 with 1GB I use: -instances_per_device 1 -unroll 12 -ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 4096

I was using 11.2 without any computing problems. However, I have gone back to 10.12 due to a weird HDMI issue I have with the 11.x drivers.

I don't know what good that will do after trying several differnt values already...anyway, it didn't change a thing.
Neiter did Lunatics reinstallation.

For my Sapphire HD5750 with 1GB I use: -instances_per_device 1 -unroll 12 -ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 4096

AstroPulse is working fine so far, the problem is only with MultiBeam.

You are also trashing a lot of units at beta as i noticed.
I think its best we try in german on weekend if you want.

You can PM me any time.

Can you try the non-HD5 version of r177 please, and if that doesn't work please drop CLinfo.exe into a Cmd window, run it, and post the output,

Please copy and paste my app_info for the HD5 into your app_info. replacing what you currently have. It appears that something was editted incorrectly in yours. Notice that mine doesn't start with app version. If you've installed from the lunatics installer you'd have gotten this same setup.

*bonks head* right. I guess my mind was somewhere else.
I have been using -period_iterations_num 5 for MB. I'll try your setting of -period_iterations_num 14 later tonight and see what happens. Maybe that value is jsut a bit to much for these cards. We shall see.

Why? Is my English that bad? :)

Didn 't work, only seemed to change the seconds after which the unit is aborted.

please drop CLinfo.exe into a Cmd window, run it, and post the output

Please copy and paste my app_info for the HD5 into your app_info. replacing what you currently have. It appears that something was editted incorrectly in yours.

You suggested I reinstall with the Lunatics Installer, which I did, which means my actual app_info comes directly from the Installer. And I don't think there is something wrong with that.

Notice that mine doesn't start with app version.

Obviously I left that part and the AstroPulse part out.

If you've installed from the lunatics installer you'd have gotten this same setup.

I don't think so...the default settings from the lunatics installer are not '-period_iterations_num 12 -instances_per_device 2'. It looks more like this...here is the whole app_info:

and inset what I've previously posting in its place. It is a working version of my app_info for the HD5 ATI app. I had to manipulate the app_info myself when I installed because it did something similar. I assumed it had something to do with the other versions for the ATI app included in the app_info. When I removed the extra lines I was able to run without a problem. See if that works. You've tried everything else.

You are also trashing a lot of units at beta as i noticed.

That's right...as I said my first post.

I forgot to change my settings to the same as your last night. Today I changed to <cmdline>-period_iterations_num 12 -instances_per_device 1</cmdline> and everything looks like it has been going along fine. When I get home from work tonight I'll bump up to 14 and see what happens. If that goes OK I will upgrade to Cat 11.5 like you are using.

Didn't think the app_info could need additional changes right after the Installation.

You've tried everything else.

Obviously I didn't...because I found the problem while trying a few things on my own: VirtualStore. I know how this Vista/7-feature works, however I don't know why BOINC triggered it...there where some workunits and a few slot folders there, which at least could be responsible for every odd behaviour. Removing the BOINC folder from VirtualStore was the solution, of course.

The VirtualStore folder was created right after installing 6.12.33.
In any case I was not able to provoke the use of the VirtualStore again.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
