not sure why ALL of my "Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2" work units errored out, and according to the CPU run time of those WU's, they only ran for a few minutes. does that mean my OC is not stable? i did a full stability test before installing BOINC, so not sure what else is wrong :mad:

They are probably bad WUs. I might be wrong, though.
With that little run time I'd guess the same thing.
There's a notorious problem with HPF2 on Vista and Win 7 machines... Many people just don't run them, cuz although most error in the first few minutes, a couple will go till they hit the time limit (50 hours iirc)
WCG couldn't find how to fix it and said it wasn't wide spread enough to justify further searching (again iirc)
ah thank you, i guess i missed this announcement regarding HPF2 somewhere. do you have a link to where they said this? not being able to run this on win7 or vista is not important enough for them? i think this is a huge deal considering most machines that aren't ancient are using either vista or win7. thanks though, i'll be disabling these WU's as well.Quote:

I gave up on HPF2 which is a shame because its a good project. Problems are only on win7 machines, never personally seen the 50 hour error though.

That was on Feb 1, 2010. Since then I believe DDDT2 went live. Let's see what the 2nd application is.Quote:
Hello all,
The error rate for the windows platform on this application does have our attention. We are currently working very hard to bring two more science applications online before we are able to dedicate more of our time to fixing this issue. This error is different than most we have seen in the past and requires more dedicated time debugging it than usual. Please be patient with us and we will fix this issue.
Thanks,

For now ... just disable this project until a solution is found.
I've gotten problems on Vista...
And I'm glad to know I was wrong about that part! Thanks for the info! :up:Quote:
