A64 X2 4400+, WinXP, boinc 5.2.13 upgraded to 5.4.9

One Run had frequent Exit-zero-status messages. Upgraded boinc as possible solution. After restart, the other Run, at ~81% ran awhile, then stopped. Status shows \"Running\", but no CPU or TS time advancement.

Restarted from an hour-old backup. Same symptoms.

Suspended the dead-in-the-water Run and started Prime95 Torture test. Both cores fully engaged, one with CPDN, the other with Prime95, so it seems safe to dismiss CPU problems.

Any ideas?

Follow-up on the problem.

After more attempts, the ~81% Model decided to run. In circles. It was suspended because the download servers were empty and off the air.

The ~70% Model continued its exited-zero-status failures then it, too, started running in circles. The machine was shut down.

After discovering that Carl\'s dedication got things on track early (good job, Carl!), I called my friend, last evening Pacific Time, and talked her through \"Reset Project\". Her X2 4400+ is no longer cold.

There is nothing about the circumstances surrounding the ~81% Model that I understand -- until it started off in circles. It\'s also curious that two 5.08 Models went loopy about the same time, though the Models were separated by ~11%.

Further, only the ~70% Model was affected by the exited-zero status problem, which largely accounts for it\'s laggard position. When I\'ve experienced that on my machines, both Models were taken down and restarted at the previous Checkpoints.
