Currently this cruncher is only showing you have the lunatics application installed for the CPU, and nothing for the GPU. Perhaps a checkbox was missed when doing the Lunatics installation? Rerun the installer.....and double check what you have selected. You should not have to do anything else other than run the installer a second time, should not mess anything up. Just a suggestion.

In my experience, and I have no ATI cards here, the ' exited with zero status but no 'finished' file' has been due to a computer being tied tight. Cannot finish certain Boinc operations before a timeout. Something is using too many computer resources, the Boinc cache is too large, Boinc set to display all tasks instead of just active tasks, comms problems. Maybe try idling a cpu.....

There are a few reasons for a computer to give the "can't create output file" type errors - here are a few of them Disk is full. User allocation of disk space is consumed. User does not have create/write permission for the data directory. The "create file" operation fails due to computer glitch. Anti-virus software gets in the way There are more, but these are the most common. One common problem is that the "user" running BOINC/S@H does not have the correct permissions. This will show up as EVERY task failing with this error message, it can be prevented at installation time by doing the installation "for all users", not jut the one that is doing the installation. Another one that is quite similar in its appearance is the AV software getting in the way - exclude the BOINC/project directories from the AV checking, and make sure BOINC/S@H applications are allowed to write (some AV software allows stopping applications writing non-temporary files) User allocation is a funny one, because it can be transient - a user deletes a load of files, they go to the waste bin, but for a short time they appear twice against that user's allocation. (I don't use allocations, to prevent this problem). Hard disk full - self explanatory really! Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

I have to say expecting a dual 1GHz CPU, with a "built in" ATI HD6290 GPU to be anything other than "prosaic" is being a bit of an optimist. I'd guess (based on the performance of my 2.7GHz, 6 core AMD) that an astopulse would take about six hours on the CPU, and something similar on the GPU (running Lunatics, not stock). One question - is this processor being used as an add-on to a bigger system, or is it in a standalone PC? (Silly me - I've just looked at the AMD website - its a notebook processor, so it certainly won't set the fields ablaze with its performance, indeed the lack of information on the AMD site suggests it has had a "chequered history", unlike its logical predecessor, the C-50, it has vanished from the product schedules) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

But this one http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6755411 has a low GPU and it works o why this one doesnt???? Possibly because that one has 512MB GPU RAM available while your C-60 system only has 256MB assigned to be used by the GPU, and only 768MB of system RAM left for the OS and other things. Raistmer's C-60 also only has 256MB assigned to the GPU and runs the OpenCL apps successfully, but it has considerably more system RAM than yours and is running a full version of Win7 rather than the starter edition. I don't know those differences are significant, but they could be. Joe ID: 1286920 · |

You could upgrade the RAM, 750Mb to run Windows 7 and anything else is not a lot, then you could probably adjust BIOS settings to give the GPU more memory, Claggy ID: 1287252 · |
