Sorry for my English.
What does it mean the exit code -5?
All the WU are crashing

Seti, LCH and Predictor are running well.


Thanks

I have got the same problem here, but only with cp workunits, my SETI workunits run fine. What could it be? Latest BOINC running under WinXP Pro + SP2.

-5 is a "catch-all" error code for a crash in CPDN, we would have to look on the server for the exact reason. Usually it's a "Negative Pressure Value created" which is often errors from the FPU in overclocking.

My CPU is not overclocked

climateprediction.net - 2004-09-10 16:23:41 - Unrecoverable error for result 1z31_100113064_0 ( - exit code -5 (0xfffffffb))

after 5hours of computation. and befor an error message http://www.daburna.de/error.jpg

and by the way, my CPU isn´t overclocked too (I think so).

What could I do to make CPND working without any crash???

WIN XP SP2
AMD Athlon XP 3200+
1GB DDR Ram (Dual Channel)

There is some useful advice on hardware issues under CPDN in the anouncements by UK_Nick in the <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewforum.php?f=23">hardware section</a> of the other CPDN message board. I would recommend that you run one of the hardware tests he suggests. Even if you aren't overclocking, you could have a flakey memory module, for example. And the advice in the maintenance section is worth looking at anyway.

I ran the memtest and saw that my CPU runs only with FSB 199 (should be 200) so the CPU only has 2,189MHZ instead of 2,2MHZ...perhaps that´s the fault. I try now to update my BIOS...

New BIOS version - FSB is now 200....so let´s wait the next hours if it works now with no error.

(Folding@home had also a computation error 30minutes ago (before the bios update) ...so it is my hardware!)

Got the same problem too, workunits crash with "exit code -5". Once the proyect reached 20% and the second time near the 10% of proyect computation. Of course is not a hardware issue, my processor is not overclocked and SETI units always worked fine but with CP fails.

I'm running Winxp SP2 on Athlon 2600+, Gigabyte 7VAXP-A Ultra, 2x512Gb Jetram.

Unfortunately, simply being stable in SETI is NOT a guarantee of computational stability in CPDN. CPDN stresses the CPU and memory subsystem more, and for any individual work unit, over a MUCH longer period of time. A good resource for checking your system out is at:

http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2124

With hardware specific stress tests suggested at:

http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2126

While some of the above material is talking about the "classic" pre-BOINC CPDN, most of it is still valid.
