mmonnin/Keith,

Just to clarify, you are saying that you had a brand new PSU (that also happened to be an EVGA unit) that when loaded it crashed your system? If this is the case, how did you determine it was the PSU? One of the options I may do is to remove the new PSU I bought about a month ago and replace it with the warranty replaced version that EVGA sent me. The model of the original PSU was noted in my previous post. I got it about a week ago. But I will not do this until I have performed most of the steps I noted below.

I did check my temps and fans using SpeedFan last night. All fans seem to be working. When I would unplug the radiator fan, the CPU temp began to increase and one of the fan readings went to 0 RPM. When I unplugged the liquid cooling pump on the processor, the CPU temp began to increase fairly quickly and the other fan reading went to 0 RPM. my liquid cooling setup is a prepackaged setup with pump and radiator together as a sealed unit. I cannot remember the exact model, but similar to a Zalman LQ315.

I then decided to start BOINC. And sure enough the CPU temp, core temp and GPU temp began to rise. The CPU temp reached 60C and paused BOINC. I did this a few times and let the temp climb a degree or two higher each time before pausing. I then let it go to see where they would top out. The CPU held steady at about 66 to 67C, the core at about 48 to 50C and the GPU at about 55 to 57C. After searching the internet for my processor and GPU, these seemed reasonable temperatures. Thus I let BOINC continue running and I continued watching. It ran for probably 45 minutes to an hour and I thought maybe I has solved the problem. But alas, I spoke too soon. At 1:31 AM, the Numlock light went out and the computer locked up. I did not get to see if BOINC would run with just the CPU, I was too tired at this point. I will try this tonight. Am I able to only have the GPU process WUs? This probably entails suspending all projects and tasks that do not use the GPU. I will try this tonight as well.

When you say voltages, to what voltages are you referring, fans, memory, something else, all of them? I am not sure how to check any specific one. Is there a program that will monitor these?
Also, will memtest only load the memory and not the CPU? I did not check this, but this would be a way to determine if the memory is the issue.

If none of this works, I will follow Keith's suggestions and remove and reset the memory modules and graphics cards. If this does not work, I will remove and reset the cold plate on the CPU. I will also inspect the MB. I try not put the nozzle into the case at all, just blow air from the perimeter to try to minimize the possibility of impacting any MB components. I know some of them can be sensitive. But I will double check as I am resetting other components. What may have sparked this issue is the installation of the new PSU. This was not an easy thing to do. Also, I have to apologize as I lied about the MB model. While I thought I had the M5A99FX Pro 2.0 in this machine, it is not in this machine, but in another machine I have. This machine has an ASUS M5A97 (V1.02 printed on the MB, so not the Rev 2.0 version). Not sure if this matters, but it has been a solid board. And this means that it is probably is about 5 years old.

In the meantime, if there are any other suggestions or recommendations, please share. I really would like to get this issues solved sooner rather than later.

Thanks,

Jason

Richie,

My apologies. I forgot to include the first few lines of the event log from BOINC when I first started it before it froze. I know that that log has much of the information you are looking for and I was typing my original message over the course of a couple of hours because I kept getting interrupted and I completely overlooked it. Following it is that information:

In addition, this is my main desktop computer. I would say it is approximately 5 to 6 years old, but I honestly cannot remember. This a computer that I built and have upgraded components over time so not everything is original. I just replaced the power supply in January because when I went to turn it on, nothing happened. No power anywhere. EVGA replaced the PSU via the warranty (original PSU was EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W, Semi Modular), but I did not want to wait the 2 to 3 weeks for the new one, so I bought a new PSU (EVGA 750W SUPERNOVA G3 MODULAR). The motherboard is an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+. In searching for the MB, I discovered that I purchased it about two years ago, so the case might be 5 to 6 years old, most components are probably 3 years old or less, as I bought the MB in 2016.

Prior to about a week ago, I did not have any issues with running BOINC. After I replaced the PSU with a new one, everything turned on and was working fine. This happened around the first week of January. I was running BOINC projects without any issues (as far as I knew). The system seemed stable. The event log shows all the projects I am currently running. However, I only recently began crunching for Amicable Numbers (01/12/2018) and OLDK1 (01/27/2018). All the other projects I have been crunching for 8 or more years. However, not all may have been active on this machine. Most likely it would have been SETI and Milkyway. But I would have to go back into each project to know for sure. With regard to tasks, I am running both CPU and GPU tasks. I have the CPU set to 88% to leave some room for the GPU. Prior to the freezing issue, the resource monitor would show most cores in the 90% range or so. I read somewhere to limit the CPU usage when you are using the GPU, so as not to be throttling the GPU because all CPU cores were busy. In setting the limit to 88%, this seems to give a good response to all cores and not max out any of them.

Yes, it always makes me nervous to turn a system off and leave it off for any extended period of time. However, as I noted above, most of the components are fairly new and the PSU is brand new. And as you note, this could be the issue. And I am not ruling it out. However, I am just wondering if there are ways to narrow down potential problems. If it is a hardware issue, I am suspecting the GPU. Unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge begin to narrow down components. Or if it is even possible. It might be that I have to replace the GPU and fire up BOINC to see if it is stable. However, my main question is: If it is a hardware issure, why do I only see the problem when I start BOINC?

Regarding the heating issue, I do not think that is the problem. The CPU is liquid cooled. Heat is a big concern for me, so I regularly take the computer outside and blowout all the dust with my air compressor. I did this just before I fired it back up as well. Now, that is not to say that it isn't the issue. But I would like to think I mitigate this on a regular basis.

If I have not provided any information you were looking for, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It is greatly appreciated.

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC freezes computer
Message 84769
Posted 13 Feb 2018 by rudabega
Good afternoon,

So I started having an issue last Friday where my computer would freeze after starting up anywhere from a few minutes to maybe an hour had passed. However, in each instance, the numlock key would turn off. This became the telltale sign that my computer had frozen. This freezing required a hard reboot as nothing would work and I let it sit many a time for an hour or longer. So as the weekend progressed I tried trouble shooting this and that.

I checked the Event Viewer and nothing really pops out. After rebooting, I would see a message labeled "Error" saying " The previous system shutdown at ??? on ??? was unexpected." Then shortly following this event, another event is listed, "Critical" saying "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be cause if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." Duh! However, nothing indicated a specific problem after this.

So i continued researching what to do next. I eventually got to the point where I disabled all programs at start-up and this worked. My system seemed fine, no freezing.
After no freezing for about 3 hours, I started BOINC and within about 5 minutes the system froze. Each and every time I start BOINC, the system freezes after a few minutes. I am not sure what is going on or how to diagnose it. I cannot be sure if I upgraded to the latest version of BOINC recently. If there is a way to tell, I can check as it might have been last week, but I cannot remember. Needless to say I have had the system up and running without issue for 2+ days (since Sunday) and no issues. I just started BOINC while responding to another post about a GPU and it froze on me. Thus I have concluded it is BOINC that is doing something and causing my system to freeze.

Following is a small snapshot of my Event Viewer from right after my last reboot due to the freeze (today, 02/13/2018):

According to the "Error" at 3:09:52, the system shutdown at 2:42:32. Although, you can see two error messages and a warning after this time. The DistributedCOM messages seem to be a typical message being reported as it also occurs at other times, so I am not sure if it is related. However, the "Warning" event is new from what I can tell. Not sure if this is helpful, but the message box on the General tab reads:

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 0

The details view of this entry contains further information.


I was not having any issues with BOINC prior to last week. This is the reason that makes me think that I may have upgraded BOINC. This is also because, I recently had my computer off for a couple of months due to a remodel project on my house, so I was not able to use this system. More than likely, the most current BOINC version available around September 2017 was the one that was being used prior to the past couple of weeks.

Ultimately, I am at a loss as to explain the events. I am at the end of my knowledge base for computers and diagnosis and am going to require someone will more understanding. If anyone has any insight or ideas, please share. At this time, my next step is to uninstall BOINC and go back a version or two in time to see if that corrects the issue. However, I will wait for any potential ideas before I do.

Thanks,

Jason

All,

Thank you for the responses, very much appreciated. I was not expecting stellar performance. Just thought it could do some good, since it just sits there most of the time doing nothing. I will keep an eye on the GPU temp as well. I missed the Seti scheduled down time, so I will have to wait until it is back up to see if it will down load any workunits for the gpu.

Thanks again,

Jason

Hello,

I have an older computer that I use as my server. Most of the time it sits there doing nothing, so I thought I would let it run BOINC and do some good. However, I was sure that it would use the GPU. While an older graphics card, I thought it was compatible. In addition, it says "Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU", "Scheduler request complete: got 0 new tasks" everytime it appears to communicate with the two projects I have it attached to (Einstein@Home and Milkyway@Home). So it is requesting new tasks, but not receiving any. Not sure what the issue is, but I thought I would post to see if anyone has any insights. Following is the event log and clinfo log files below as requested:
