Check out Crunch3r's post 42823 at Number Crunching>Computation errors thread. Unless someone comes up with a better answer then I am convinced that this is the root of the problem. All we need is someone to write the corrective code.

Yes it is likely the problem. For me all 2s are bad and I was trying to add a little more info if it would help. It may depend on the system or batch they came from then.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Exception proves the rule?

Also.
So, it has to be something else.

Had a batch of 6 that were bad. All 2s again.

Looked into the last finished one of your tasks and found:

Running Milkyway@home version 0.20 (Win32, SSE2) by Gipsel


The latest cpu version from Gispel is v0.21 from end of march where he fixed a progress bar issue that came around at that time.
Should be worth a try to see if it fixes atleast a part of your problem.

I keep having many, many errors - seems like every work unit. So I have to give up on Milkyway. FWIW I am having 100% errors also on ABC@home, but other projects work fine. My GPU isn't good enough so these are CPU tasks. I might not have given up if there were at least an acknowledgement from the people running this project that there are problems but there seems to be no peep, and bad work units keep getting sent.

From the errors in your workunits, they are out of resource errors. Your settings might be too strict. Check your BOINC settings for the max. allowed disk space and memory.

Probably disc space - extract from stderr_txt file (my bolding):

18:22:11: Checkpoint exists. Attempting to resume from it
18:22:11: Successfully resumed checkpoint
Opening checkpoint temp: Not enough space
Write checkpoint failed
18:27:23 (3672): called boinc_finish

The other one in the task list shows similar - cant write the checkpoint file.

I think I've been handed a batch of Invalids 'Completed Marked as Invalid'

CPU Onlys MW 0.45 sse2's.

I can't list them as they've already be refreshed out of reach but I've returned 12-16 and probably only had 3 or 4 awarded full marks over the last two days
kind of annoying to lose full workunits

Thing is They Ran for the 6-7 hours which was the average under 0.19 and looked error free when I sent them.


will take careful note of the 15 I've got on the client (*cross fingers* I won't have to announce them 'Marked as Invalid').


BTW any Idea how long an n-body is supposed to run I've had 4 run 30-60 minutes and then one run for 20 hours??

BTW any Idea how long an n-body is supposed to run I've had 4 run 30-60 minutes and then one run for 20 hours??

I've seen N-body WU's run anywhere from 20 minutes to 40 hours (on CPU). There seems to me no rhyme or reason to how long they will run. It is really throwing the time estimates in my BOINC manager for a loop. It is forced to assume that they it is going to take forever and a day to complete each of them so it is constantly shifting into High Priority mode to get them done in time. When in reality it has plenty of time.

---

The 2s wus still don't like my computer. I have let them run past the time it takes for 3s and they dont finish or have a %. It seems some error still exists. All 3s wus run just fine when I get them.

I'm getting the same thing after some have run for 10+ hours. It is a puzzlement...

Same here. Three in succession now (SSE2).

Are you guys using optimized applications? They probably won't work with most of the new WUs we're sending out.

If not, there's a good chance it was the corrupted disk (which is now fixed).

I checked it out and my wingmen has lots of it also.

These are 0.45 SSE2 plain vanilla applications failing here.

Hello All..It appears that there are some problems with some MY@H tasks,267728727,264256459,263423802. Those tasks corraspond to my system crash.
So I down loaded MS debug And came up with this report. History, For the past two weeks my system would flash BSOD too quick to read and just shut down. Took out RAM, GFX card, reconfigured hard ware,bios(all this before I used MS debug)

So if I am wrong and or need to give this to some one else please e-mail me.
This is all happening on my AMD quad, also on my AMD dual laptop will have 50 to 60 error msg on the desktop, "Milkyway stopped trying to restart" but no BSOD or Minidumps, so could it be AMD related? My single core AMD has no problems. No Opp app no OC, all stock. Every driver up to date Bios up to date, latest BIONC app.

According to that error it's a hardware problem.

What hardware is failing? When this started I pulled out my GTS250, pulled out 1 stick of mem,of 2, even put 1 in "B" channel, took out 1 of 2 optical drives, took out my pci ata card. I plugged my tower into a non used outlet. When none of that worked I COMPLETLY disasymbeld the entire tower, board and all. Any other debuggers i can use?

Only thing I have not done yet is install an Ethernet card to eliminat my onboard Ethernet. My Puter has only Minidump once since complete teardown which is when I used MS debugger. If it happens again I will have to stop running MY@H. This problem only started when I started MY@H, 2/3 weeks ago..Thanks for the input and will dig into this, if it is my machine. O also this is a fresh OS install when everything else seamed not to work. And I have also preformed a deep and intensive Virus,Trojen,spyware scan. Any help or direction would be great, or if anyone needs more info from me to help.
