I was away for a couple of weeks and when I got back I notice that my RAC had fallen dramatically. I noticed two things. One is that I am getting a lot of "Completed, validation inconclusive" and also a message that says "SETI@home: Notice from server Unknown app name in app_info.xml 7/7/2015 12:53:19 PM I deleted everything then reinstalled Boinc and the optimized app. Can any give me a clue what is going on? Computer is now as follows: AMD FX-8300 8 core 8 GB ram on Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Motherboard with 2 Nividia GeForce FTX 750 Ti Graphics cards. I did notice the thread about the Unknown app, but I seem to be suffering a little more than that. Any thoughts? ID: 1699542 ·

Several of the old, redundant, apps were removed, and now those of us who haven't kept a tidy app_info.xml are getting the message. (Must have another dig for the Tuit so I can remove the offending blocks form all my app_info......)

You are running CUDA32 on a Maxwell GPU. setiathome enhanced x41zc, Cuda 3.20 That usually doesn't work very well. Run the Lunatics Installer again and install the CUDA50 version. That should correct it. ID: 1699562 ·
