Can someone help me? Why i received this error? What can I do?
At the moment, a new model is running. Therefore I what to fix this error before I receive a second time the same error.

Thanks
Florian

Florian,

The final error messages have not yet appeared on the Web page for that model (hadcm3istd_0h2m_1920_160_05939256_0). When that happens we will be able to comment on the cause of the crash - it doesn\'t usually take this long ...

Also got a crash today, error code #22 like I saw in one of the posts above.

BOINC version 6.1.16 isn\'t a public release yet, and this project won\'t be updating the server software to match for a while yet.

As for error code 22, apart from what is already in the READMEs, it hasn\'t been solved. It seems to be a code used for several failure modes.

Backups: Here

Hallo Florian, Grüsse aus England.

Your model crashed this morning but the BOINC manager messages don\'t explain why. The first line of the messages says only that it finished (=crashed). The other message lines mean that the server wanted all these files; but your model didn\'t process long enough to produce the files.

Has this computer\'s BOINC manager had network activity (internet) today? I think probably not. Please tell us.

Have you got a backup of the contents of the BOINC folder made before the model crashed? If you have a backup you can restore it and continue the model.

Hi EJG

This is what moderator Thyme Lawn says about code 22.

I suspect the CPDN controller process is passing on what it gets from the worker. If the worker has been written with \'meaningful exit codes\' they could easily overlap with Unix error numbers (which are used to generate the messages). I\'ve written such programs myself, and I always start the exit codes from 1 and work upwards. Not a problem as long as the program interpreting the exit status knows what they mean, but as soon as you\'re dealing with something that doesn\'t know the rules (i.e. BOINC) everything goes to pot. I suspect that exit code 22 is catching a variety of file access problems.

So it\'s a file access problem of some sort but we don\'t know why. Something probably happened on your computer to cause the crash.

You can go to the project READMEs through the link in my signature. In the README collection called Crashes and Problems, look at link #6 by Mike Mars. He lists all the most probable causes of crashes.

The message line \'Not a JPEG file.....etc\' is not related to the crash. It simply means you opened the model graphics!

Have you got a backup of the contents of the BOINC folder made before the crash happened? If you have a backup you can restore it and continue the model.

Edit: this is the HADAM model that crashed:

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7166370
The model was processing fast, 14 sec/TS. I know this is a fast computer, but is it also overclocked?

This computer has Vista. Where is BOINC installed? The default location for BOINC is C\\Program files\\BOINC, but Vista doesn\'t like that. With Vista the location should be changed to C\\BOINC.

I think you should uninstall BOINC version 6 and reinstall version 5 (unless you\'re a BOINC alpha tester).

Thanks for the answer and the links mo.v.

I never overclock PC\'s that are running Boinc, so that can not be the problem here. Unfortunately I stopped making regular backups when I stopped running Climate Prediction for some time and later only downloaded the shorter-running models. May be I have to start backing up again. :-)

This is the only computer that is running 6.x, partly because sometimes I do some alpha testing indeed, partly because 5.x is blocked at Vista startup (although there seems to be a work around for that) because it asks for admin rights. For now I don\'t expect 6.16 to cause any problems.

Boinc is not installed in c:\\program files, but on the D drive. Vista seems happy. :-)

I will try another model and see what happens.

I think it\'s worth making backups even of the \'shorter\' models. For example, when you exit from BOINC to run an AV scan, defrag and reboot, that\'s a good moment. In the README collection about backups, the easy manual method described by Les only takes a few minutes. In my experience, backups made by this method always restore successfully. There\'s also a selection of more sophisticated methods.

Florian,

The final error messages have now yet appeared on the Web page for your model (hadcm3istd_0h2m_1920_160_05939256_0).

The exit status is \"-1073741819 (0xc0000005)\", which is sometimes related to graphics compatibility. Try item #7 in the \"crashes and other problems\" README thread (which is here).

I notice that the model was started and stopped quite a few times during its short history: some crashes can be avoided by stopping BOINC manually before closing the PC down.
