Try taking out the max_concurrent completely. Actually, that is way old. Try deleting it completely. |

I think there is a problem with number of CPU-s. I saw you have Celeron with only two cores. 3*0.993CPUs ~ 3. You now run on limits . . .Not enough CPU's cores to feed all graphics cards |

hmm, so how do i instruct it to share four tasks on the cpus ? with the three threads, cpu use is only about 40% according to task manager |

Try to limite number of CPU's cores on 50% and look what happens . . . |

Where was the app_config.xml file located on your system. <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> This is what mine has and it works fine. |

Remember to write/edit/save the file in Notepad (not Word), name it app_config.xml, place it in the Milky Way folder and restart Boinc. |
