1) Message boards : Number crunching : Astronomical credits claimed - like 8,8e22 (Message 997622) Posted 21 May 2010 by apohawk Post: I think it's only fair to inform what was wrong since i have it figured out. The thing is the simpliest of all. CPU was undervolted due to applications displaying misleading informations about voltage on CPU. BIOS setting i thought to be ignored actually wasn't, which resulted in CPU running on less V than it reported. On WinXP i was using k10stat to set things up and it probably did things right while on win7 this application wasn't working. Now that it is stable, that 6 core AMD beast can currently squeeze ~7k points a day in Docking@Home. I will throw it at SETI one day if only to reach 100k. I've just noticed that -9 overflow information too. If application can spot such error then perhaps it should result with "error while computing", but it's not my application, so it's not my problem :) Good news is that validator sees that something is not right and marks it "validation inconclusive", so after one more volunteer crunches those WU, those damaged results will be discarded. Regards

Is it just system stability issue? Or some vulnerability or bug in stock app related to win764? The other two are: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=610013622 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=610014356 I'm not going to crunch any more SETI untill i'm sure this system is stable. I post those 3 WUs also for reference in case of any abuse for admins to take care of it :P
