First I will say sorry for my bad english, but I hope, you can understand what I will say. Since 2001 I am SETI@home-Member and since 2005 BOINC-user. All the time I had no problems. Last week I get the new enhanced-Clinet and now the PC freezes after 1 - 2 hours. Do you know this problem? There is no hardware-problem - I checked all components. And when BOINC is running with Rosetta, all is OK. Only SETI-enhanced freezes the Computer. My System: Win XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4, 3.4 GHz, Asus P5GD2 Deluxe, BOINC-Manager 5.4.9 Thank you for help!

Check the cooling, I'll bet your cpu is running hot and it is shutting down because of overheating. Get a can of air and blow out the power supply and then open the case and carefully blow the dust bunnies out. Dust bunnies is a term techs call the dust that builds up in clumps. |

CPU is water-cooling and temperature is not over 50 Degrees Celsius. |

I am actually having this problem on a few of my machines. They were running regular SETI-BOINC just fine. I keep them clean all the time. Since SETI Enhanced came out, I have an AMD Sempron 3400+, a Pentium III 1GHz and an AMD K6-2 450MHz all lock up. There seems to be no connection that I can see. My other systems run Enhanced just fine. I'm guessing that it is an error in the program when a certain criteria (or situation) is met. But it seems to have happened with Enhanced v5.12. I'll have to wait and see if v5.15 causes the problem too (as soon as their Task cache clears up). |
