Thread "Questions and Answers : Windows : Task gone":
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=79855

Also give link to the PC with problem.

1) For me is not clear did you found the reason for the main problem - "Abandoned tasks" after you restart Windows (and start BOINC)?
Is this "fixed" if you "Exit BOINC manually before restarting Windows"?

2) https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=79855&postid=1801019#1801019

Firefox open 277,472 uses 19% -

Lunatics 108,460 from 118,460 uses 17%

i have 16 gigs of memory, used is 3.1 gigs

i am running 8 tasks on the cpu, and 8 tasks on my 2 video cards, have run it like this before, with out any memory problems, ...
... Soon as i close bonic BOINC memory drops to 1.6 used memory

a. Why you test/mix 2 programs? (Firefox & "Lunatics" (some GPU (?) app which you did not identify))
b. Using 3 GB of 16 is not really "a problem", more like "a puzzle"

c. Calc:
   Observation 1 (diff in used memory):
BOINC & apps use: 3.1 - 1.6 = 1.5 GB

   Observation 2 (sum of all "BOINC"):
8 GPU tasks * 100 MB = 800 MB
8 CPU tasks *  50 MB = 400 MB
BOINC (boinc.exe boincmgr.exe) ~ 50 MB
Total: 1250 MB ~ 1.2 GB

So you have only ~ 300 MB "missing".


d. When you look at the list of processes (Windows Task Manager, Process Explorer) to see the RAM usage of every process
- did you checked the Option to see the "processes from All users"?
