Went out today and left Seti running including CUDA expecting to see a drop in cache. Came home and found one non-VLAR job had hung and was sitting on over three hours to go (and growing) and 76% completed.

Am using modified MB, plus a bat file to eliminate low VLARs, Video card in geforce 9600GT and running E6850 at stock speed on xp pro 32 bit.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tried closing and restarting Boinc? That's been known to help. Even a reboot of the system can unstick them too.
Of course you should also be using the most current version of the drivers, so you might want to check into that if you're not sure if they are.

You could also update to the latest mod app v6 version it looked like you might be using an older version, and it's possible that might be able to unstick it too.

There are still non-VLAR Tasks that can go stuck on weak graphic cards like yours and mine (using 9600GT too).
For this reason i've written a vbscript that detects if a task go stuck an then it will termiante this win32 process so BM can restart and finish this task.
Lastest version is 043_with_bugfix attached in some posts on luntics forum.

Seeing into Your results I'm suggesting what You are using Raistmer's V5a (which has no auto-declining VLAR WUs) now.

To crunch without "baby-sitting" You can: 1) use no your eliminating bat file; 2) change app. to V5b (which has built-in auto-deleting VLAR WUs); 3) use Maik's VBScript to auto-restarting frozen non-VLAR jobs.

I'm using that crunching scheme (V5b+script v.043) with tiny modification (looped script in Maik's .cmd and using TrayIt! to hide script window into system tray)

...(looped script in Maik's .cmd and using TrayIt! to hide script window into system tray)

looped script in cmd? the script has a integrated loop. the cmd is only a starter file for people who cant handle cmd-commands :)
Once started the script should run until you use ctrl-c to stop it or you reboot your host.
It is a error if the script dont loop after started once ...

Could well be that anyone in the thread still using the v5a or b should upgrade to the v6 version, since it may allow you to do more of the tasks without scripts or bat files and is supposed to complete the VLAR tasks now.

Thanks guys

When it comes to programming, I leave it to those who are far better equipped than I (last bit of programming I did was in Basic, for a random number generator..... in the 80's..... at Tech College)

I therefore rely on the 'brainy ones' to do the hard slog for me, and then use their efforts and thank 'em (subconsciously) when it works and out of their earshot when it doesn't.

Have downloaded the V6, and extracted it. Am waiting for cache to clear and will then instal and cross fingers. (If certain folks ears tingle... I apologise in advance)

Thanks for your help

Yes, I know that and about all the time script self loops, but yesterday one time it closed after copy of bad WU - happily it happens on my eyes watching at script window I restart it manually and decided to loop cmd-file for even more protection ;)

P.S. I will PM corresponlog lines...

Thanks guys

You can install it with the cache if you prefer. It will do the 6.03 or 6.07 tasks in CUDA.

Little buggers are still occasionally sticking. Am using latest version with VLAT fix.

Question now is: Where do I place Maik's VB script?

If you use v6 then its normal that some task wit low angle range / very low angle range seems to be stuck. Give them a chance to go on.
My script can be placed somewhere. Just red the readme.txt. All instructions are written down there ... after your done with readme.txt and you have placed the files edit the cuda_log.ini and set your settings.
