The GPU WUs are a bit difficult--I've found they'll error if the driver crashes or there is the slightest bit of instability

 

[Peter1986C]

A HPF WU states there has been a computation error so it is not the GPU or graphics drivers (see the last line in N3rdF1ght3r's screenshot).

Well, the E7400 has been going solid all night @ 3.4GHz. The Zalman cooler is a bit loud, but it's running at just over 50C full load

WCG Gadgets for your desktop?

Hey, so do any WorldCommunityGrid Gadgets exist for win 7? I would love to be able to monitor my threads completion stats without having to leave the Boinc manager program page open on my desktop.

Officially supported by BOINC.. only if you use something called Yahoo! Widgets. Take a look at the Web browser toolbars and plugins section: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/addons.php

Unofficially.. Google comes up with a few but don't know if I want to click on stuff I don't know anything about.

This looks cool, I will check it out. Thanks!

Thanks to MJmike i now have a i7 3770k crunching for the team. I don't have it oc'ed yet till i get my PSU from Ion, I don't want to stress this OCZ that i borrowed.

That's a hell of a CPU--I'm glad to hear you got something new! I'd say you should be able to get an 800MHz-1GHz OC with basically no work (at least I could on the 2700k).

Given my experience with this PSU, you should be great

It appears that Bok from FreeDC is back from his trip and looking at what's necessary to fix his system... might be the SSD or the motherboard according to this thread:

I need help. My rig wont load, all it does is keeps going back to the post screen.

the CPU,RAM,POWER,BOOT DEVICE LEDs all come on during post,none of them stay solid but the system won't load.

What i have done:
cleared CMOS with the jumper
pulled PSU and battery,let it sit for ~4 hours
tried 8 different sticks of ram 1 at a time
flashed BIOS to the latest
used onboard GPU
used 2 different video cards(both PCI-e x16)
tried a different psu(i used a 350w to load it the first time before i got the OCZ i was using,so i know it can loading it)
I don't have it in a case but i have made sure nothing metal is under it, have put the board on the box it came in and a glass shelf.
reseated CPU
reseated heatsink
blew out the mem slots
checked for bent pins (none that i could see)
checked for burnt spots on CPU

any ideas of what else i can do? I want to get this rig back up and running again.

when it stopped working i was in the BIOS trying to get a small overclock. didn't over volt anything either.

i guess pretty much other than board or CPU there's nothing left to try

If you're using that Xig heatsink, check the backplate for interference/grounding on the board and try to loosen it a bit if it's set too tight.

Do you have a stock heatsink to try on it?

11/13/2012 - UPDATE. Looks like it's one of the sets of SATAIII controllers on the database server. With the additional SSD drive I received last week I should be able to get the stats going today using only the other connections, though one of them is a SATAII. I'll need to replace the mobo at some point. I'd actually like to have a full hot standby but given the specs that's unlikely short term. As aI've had a few people ask if they can donate, I'm adding the donate button here too. Bok

Well got some issues, For some reason my Cruncher at work has stopped receiving GPU WU's I have restarted and updated WCG but still no GPU WU's. Is there something I can do?

Depending on when it stopped there were some changes. I had to get a new file from animal to get it running again. A version change i think. I'd offer the file but am at work atm. I hope it gets you in the right direction at least.

You'll need that update in your app_info.xml i forget the actual version number it needs to be.

Hmm were would I find that cause I just tried the latest from kiex's thread and it still doesnt work.

Animal007uk was the on who gave me the file. I didn't realize there was an issue till he told me in messenger. If you message him, he's usually pretty good about responding i find.

edit: Worse case I'll be home in about 4 hours. If you cant find it I can hand it off then.

Well got some issues, For some reason my Cruncher at work has stopped receiving GPU WU's I have restarted and updated WCG but still no GPU WU's. Is there something I can do?

I would remove the app_info file, detach BOINC, (restart PC maybe not needed but I did it to be sure that the program was closed) and add WGC to the BONIC manager and let it run until it has loaded the newest files. Then stop BONIC and copy the app_info to it's right position. Restart PC and it might work. Did for me but not the first time. The program vesion has changed for HCC (from 656 to 705 but I don't think take is your problem)

Doesn't look like he's using an app_info.xml file, but mstenholm's suggestion seems on par with what worked for those using the app_info.xml file and getting a similar error.
