Hi,
I have also been getting "error while computing" on about 15% of my wu's. Here is the result for one of them. I will keep on trying but it looks like a bad batch of wu's to me. Does anybody see the same thing with CPU calculated wu's?
I see that the normal supply of tasks has been suspended so maybe someone has figured this out????
Thanks
John
p.s. this looks similar to a problesm that we had a few months ago

Hi Guys,
OK Mikey fair enough I just run a straight BOINC on a dual core cpu.
Len LE/GE:the fsutil routine with the file transaction log seems to have worked so far as MW@H is still running perfectly 12 hours later.
Thanks guys this is what I like about BOINC, everyone is so helpful.

Hi Len LE/GE,
thanks for your informative post. I ran the Microsoft Fixit routine. "fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\" to clean out the file system transaction log.
Now everything seems to be working ok but as it is 01:35 in Scotland I am going back to my bed. If everything is ok tomorrow then I will post here to let you know.
Thanks again
John

Hi Mikey,
I dont know the answer to your question, is there a way in which I can find out and then post it here?
Thanks

Hi again,
as before a reboot has restored normal calculations of MW@H tasks.
I am at a total loss to figure this out so can anyone help with interpretation of the SDERR output.
Thanks
John

Hi again people,
since I last reported MW@H tasks ran successfully but today the tasks started to show "error while computing" again. As per my previous posts I have rebooted to see if that restores things and I will report here later.
My enquiry here is for someone to translate the SDERR output as I am unsure what it is indicating. I notice that it says "Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nvidia_block_amount" and as I have said I do not use my wee NVIDIA gpu to do calculations so I cannot figure it out.
Stderr output
<core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version>

Hi,
firstly Len LE/GE: yep standard 7.0.28. I have checked both filesystem and hard drive no problems (now after reboot).
secondly mikey: as I am set to do no GPU tasks and SETI tasks were running ok on the same CPU whilst the MW@H tasks were erroring out I cannot figure out why a GPU fault would give this result.
When I rebooted the MW@H tasks started to run ok so whatever it was it was not a permanent hardware fault. Unfortunately the error occurred overnight and I had managed to run about 20 errored tasks before I found out what was happening. Anyway all is now ok (for the moment?).
I cannot interpret the SDERR results or figure out why it refers to the NVIDIA GPU.
Thanks to both of you for your input.

Hi again people,
I rebooted after a power down and the first MW@H task has been running for about 30 minutes whereas they had been erroring out just after a minute.
I still don't know what went wrong but perhaps there was a wee bit of corruption somewhere on my system and the power down and reboot fixed it. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what caused this.
I will repost the news as it develops.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi people,
I have had a number of computation failures over the last 24 hours. Before that MW@H calculations went well and I am currently running SETI with no problems. I should say that all these calculations are done on a dual core E4700 CPU as my graphics card is too wimpy.
SDERR looks like this:-
<core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version>

As I am not computer literate I don't know whether this is a fault at my end i.e. my pc is goosed or an error with the workunit.
Does anybody have any advice?
Thanks
John
