I\'ve read through some of the other postings here regarding errors but still haven\'t been able to isolate a problem. I\'ve run the memory test and the pi calculation program (out to 32m) with no problems. Motherboard monitor shows my case/CPU temps hanging out at around 115F/127F respectively. But every workunit runs for 30-40 hours of cpu time and then exits. Looking through the log the typical exit status is -185 and the stderr output is -144. Anybody have any ideas?

Greetings, Jer, from another USAF type,

There have been obvious problems on the team but yours is the first post I've noticed. Good for you!

There are more-skilled people here than me and they will want to know more about your machine -- as CPU, memory, OS -- are you overclocked? If so, by what settings? (CPDN is unforgiving of overclocking, though UK_Nick has been successful at sorting it out with multiple AMD machines).

Your symptoms sound like similar problems early-on in 'Classic' CPDN with unstable machines -- run for awhile, then go belly up.

Hang with us, the hardware gurus may well have a solution.

Cheers,
Retired USAF Weather-guesser

I'm running a P4 2.4, not overclocked, with 512mb and win xp pro and BOINC 4.09. I split BOINC 50/50 with SETI and have no problems with it. I experienced similar results with the earlier version of BOINC (4.05???) and was hoping the upgrade might make a difference. If there's any other info that would be helpful let me know and I'll be glad to post it!

Error code -144 and exit status -185 are both related to shared memory errors. Check <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2406&amp;p=20902#20902">this post</a> on the phpBB forum for further details.

Latest exit code is -5 after about 65 hours of CPU time. Haven't been able to identify any memory problems via the hardware pages. Still confused....

I had a similar problem with a computer I put together. It was taking between 5 and 15 hours to do the calculations then I had client errors and it would grab another work unit. I did some checking on the ASUS motherboard and as it was the first model out it had the first version of the BIOS which didn't support the cpu I had. I updated the BIOS and it has been happily chugging along since then.
