Is there anything in the event log?

I should have said I checked that also and nothing to suggest an issue there.

I have suspended all new tasks and will wait for current running to finish and reinstall I think.

 

[phill]

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you Peter

All updated everyone, that wasn't quick still with the misses chatting to me... 5 minutes peace would be awesome!!

That cooling system looks pretty decent.. I'd personally run three separate loops, with the triple rads there.. Temps are so much better under water....



If this happens, I've found that if you quit Bonic and then reload it or just restart the rig (more so important if you leave it on 24/7) it'll sort its self out. Had a task at work that was running over 3 days, restarted the laptop and it went from 36 hours or whatever it was to 4 hours and then finished in a few more hours after.. Sometimes they can get stuck and this sometimes is a nice simple fix. When you exit Boinc properly, it will 'save' the work units your doing, so you'll only use that one unit not everything

If you could let us know what the result it, that'll be great

Thank you Phill. I will be back after I try your suggestions although my first port of call was the restart. I do leave running 24/7 so will let you know after a reinstall.

 

[phill]

No need to reinstall I found, I just simply quit Boinc, restarted my laptop and then the task sorted itself out and then carried on as normal for whatever reason... I'd give it a go before you reinstall Failing that, just cancel off the work unit that's stuck and on you go

Did it all Phill even a reinstall and problems still exist. No one seems to have the flashing problem according to the WCG forums although HSTB is a common error with additional time and thank you I will abort that one. I will have to put up with a disco going on, on my screen until it sorts itself out. Thank you for your help.

Do you mean flashing like it's refreshing a list or anything? Mine does that all the time on my 5960X rig, I'm unsure why as it has SLI 1080 Ti's in there (maybe they can't handle Boinc??)..... I'm surprised that after an uninstall and then install, it's still saving the same tasks? Something doesn't quite sound right there to me...

If you do fix it, please let us know what it is!!

 

[HammerON]

Hi guys

Apologies for the lack of updates and such, I had some sad news last Sunday as my Grampy passed away and on the Saturday before, I had Isabelle with me for a week so I've had next to zero time to do anything but I've got the data and such, just never managed to get it updated on the forum..

Please bare with me and I see if I can get everything updated hopefully tonight but hopefully over the next few days Being back at work might help as if I'm quiet I'll do some then

I hope all is ok and has anyone seen or heard from @Norton at all? Is everything ok with him?

I've also seen the notice for the Free-DC, is there perhaps something that TPU could possibly do something with??

Sorry for your loss Phill

Yes to refreshing a list but constant and yes to it saved the same tasks on a reinstall. I know, odd!

Definitely let you know if i work something out as it may help others along the way.

Thank you sir He will be very dearly missed

Daft question, but did you restart the device in between uninstalling and reinstalling? That might be a reason but unless it's not cleared out the temp files or something.. Not sure what is going on there lol

No I didn't but worth another try.

 

[phill]

No I didn't but worth another try.

I'm not sure why it would continue where you left off, that's a new one for me... Please let us know if you get it sorted tho

Ours is not to question why Phill. lol

 

[phill]

Trouble is I gotta know why

Just seen this on Free-DC and thought people might like to know

Very nice of people to be able to donate anything I wish I had the cash spare to send anything at all..
I will mention it again, is it something that TPU or another forum could actually host at all? I'm just curious if it would be a possibility

 

[ozkisses]

Trouble is I gotta know why

Phill I don't know the answer but If anyone asks again I did have success with getting rid of the disco look by requesting no new tasks and when I got home from work this morning had zero to complete so requested tasks again and disco lights stopped. Yeah baby!

 

[phill]

Glad it's all worked out eventually for you Wish I could know or understand the reason behind the problem still tho!

I think it has to do with the Southern Hemisphere. Magnetic differences from the Northern Hemisphere, where IBM developed the program. Apparently, after BOINC sent you all new Queue, they also sent the magnetic update for you.

On command, my dog will spin, counter-clockwise. I wonder if she would spin clockwise south of the equator?

 

[Arjai]

Anyone else going to Chicago in July? The BOINC Workshop?

 

[phill]

Just for some information everyone

This week I'll be rather busy with things and my Grampy's funeral is on Friday, so I'll be travelling a load. Going to pick up my daughter tomorrow and dropping her back Sunday, 8 hour trips if not more (hopefully less if the traffic is nice for me) but pie and such might be a little hit and miss so I apologise in advance if I'm not around much..

I hope everyone is doing well

As I mentioned in the FAH thread, there was something that I wished to share with you guys, well here it is...

And all tidied away... Well kinda ...

If anyone would be interested, I am looking to possibly get rid of a few of these. As I'm based in the UK and the fact they weigh about the same as a small planet when fully loaded, pick up or drop off might be possible, might do something in connection with the Kreij give away but only if there was some interest

Still, I hoped that this might give people a few smiles, just because well, you have to love a bit of overkill Don't you?

 

[thebluebumblebee]

you have to love a bit of overkill

No, no, no. You have to know your audience. Around here, that's just a good start.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I've posted in the past that my Ryzen 1700 pulls 130 watts. Since then I got a 1700X, which has a 95 watt TDP versus the 1700's 65 watt TDP. So, the 1700 has been averaging 22,689 and the 1700X is at 24,801. So, what's the real wattage difference for that 9.3% difference? 15 watts, which is actually 11.5% more. The 1700 is on the fancy MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM while the 1700X is on a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 so I have no idea if that has any effect on the wattages. Both systems are set to run Zika and HSTB on Linux.

 

[Arjai]

Dammit, anyway.

My plan for today was to change up my surge protector.

My current one has 11 sockets. Between my switch, router, monitor and my computers, I am short one outlet.

I bought a Belkin, with 12 outlets and better surge protection, over a month ago.

Today, was suppose to be a day off, I was gonna do the switch and some updates to each of them. Some OS changes and Teamviewer updates, since I have one monitor for the 9 crunchers, that I monitor via my laptop.

But, that didn't work out, since my job is so sucky. I am down to 4, including me, employees. Today, the employee that was scheduled did not show...She said she was sick, on Friday.

I have not heard from her since. So, today was 4 days of open to close.


I need sleep. Goodnight.

I am sad to say that my points will be down for a while. I have decided to part out the i9 7980XE cruncher. I took her down last night and disassembled. Need to re-invest the money else where for the time being. Hopefully I will be able to replace the cruncher down the road with something even better

 

[phill]

I'd put a smiley face as well @HammerON but it wouldn't let me.. I'd love a 7980XE to go with my X299 Dark I have still in the box, but that's a long way off as well!! I hope you manage to sort out everything and get something even better when you come to replace it

It have to some CPU to replace your i9. Maybe the Ryzen 4000?
