Hi Averybody;))

The last 5 SETI@home Enhanced v6.03 WU's was finished always with
a calculation error. A lot of work hour's for waste then :P Why ?
I didn't changes any thing on my PC. I installed only the newest
BOINC client for couple of month. Any one have an idea ?

Thank you.

Frank

You in fact are not using the most recent Boinc.

You are using 7.0.25, which has had several fixes and is now up to 7.0.27 which is the current preferred version in the "7's" to the best of my knowledge.

Try updating your Boinc, and see if you still have that issue coming up.

For troubleshooting issues, please use the Questions and Answers forum instead of the SETI Science forum.


As for the version of BOINC you're using, it is still listed as the most current version available. 7.0.26 and 7.0.27 have not been released to the general public.


According to the BOINC FAQ Service, your error can be caused by a stuck workunit in graphics memory, however, the workunits with errors are running on your CPU. So through process of elimination, it would appear that the most probable cause is the fourth item listed in that document.

To confirm, are you using the screen saver while also crunching on your GPU?
