Any idea what just happened?

Computer was crunching ok several days and now I noticed all WUs have been abandoned, all ATI APs and CPU MBs. A little bit more detail my all cache was abandoned, 100 ATI AP and about 40 CPU MB WUs.

Is there anything in your stdoutdae.txt around that timeframe?

try restarting BOINC. Since your work is predominantly GPU work I'd even go through a reinstall of the latest drivers

Except this happens with nvidia and CPU's as well.

Sadly noting useful that I can see there. Were the tasks still on the system or had BOINC flushed them?

This seems similar to something that was going on a few months ago for a few select people/machines.

This sounds similar to my problem earlier this week, see thread

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=73556

Only real similarity is Win 7 and BOINC Client? Hardware is totally different between the hosts.

This is an old problem. It happens quite randomly. However, it is more frequent if your internet connection to Berkeley is shaky, or if the servers at Berkeley are overloaded.

Except from making sure you have a good internet connection, there is little you can do to avoid it.

Once it happens, you should reset the project without delay, since the abandoned work is already lost. If you don't reset the project, your client will continue processing the abandoned work, but it will not earn you any credit, and it will not be used by Berkeley.

Yes, tasks are still here and if I start Boinc manager it'll start to crunch those.

I'll reset Project and/or install Boinc and Lunatics again and hope the best.

Although it would be nice to know reason behind this if it's avoidable in the future.

Yeah abandoned task on server and still on machine. Sounds like what would happen before. A reset is probably the easiest way to sync the active tasks with your machine. I had 1 machine that would do these every few weeks. Compared with my 30 or so all on the same network with it. It stopped, but now I will be on the lookout again.

Hi
I have 9 wu's registred in process that I have completed last week. Five days ago. I was not able to transfers those wu's because the access to your server was impossible. Two days ago, lucky day, my hard disk burned. Now I have a new one and I am back to Seti. My result is indicating that those wu's have disappered.

So, what is the next step for me.
