I had a problem some time ago with a model/wu after running 2 to 4 days. So I wonder if it is possible that Boinc doesn\'t shut down CPDN if you close it while it is in suspend (boinc gui) or if you shut boinc down if it is in suspend and starts running a benchmark, what I also find weird.

I\'m running Win xp pro SP1 on a PIV 3.0GHz with HT with 512 Meg of ram and boinc 4.05

So what happened was, I put boinc in suspend for playing Need4Speed, but in the middle of the game the pc started to slow down. With Alt + tab, I looked at what was going on in other programs opened (IE and boinc), boinc was running a benchmark and I shut it down using File and Exit. Later, when done playing, I started boinc up again and I got: Couldn\'t start the app for this result: error -144

After some restarting and re-attaching I found the \"old\" CPDN still running (I assume this because as the app couldn\'t start it wouldn\'t be running), after killing it, some more error -144 and restarting boinc all was well again.
This all left me with more computers then I have so I merged them. Now I don\'t seem to be able to find this wu on my account (and maybe with reason) the credit granted from it

I\'m not going to try to recreate the situation, but it would be nice if someone could tell me if it was just bad luck or an imperfection in boinc or cpdn

Interesting, I had my BOINC suspended last night for around a 1/2 hr while I checked out the new patch to WWIIOL and had no problems. Could it be possible that you thought you checked suspend but missed......

It is always possible but I believe suspended came up in the messages.
But regardless of that, when and why or what triggers a benchmark?

Benchmarks are automatic, and run every five days.
