Mystery Solved! It was not Boinc.

I noticed tonight that the Total Handle Count in Task Manager was up over 350,000. That's not right.

Found a process called "vsnp2uvc.exe" had over 300,000 handles and was generating new ones at a rate of about 2 per second. Not sure how/when that software was installed, but I killed that process and the Handles count went back down to around 8000.

I did a search for vsnp2uvc.exe and removed all copies and rebooted. I'm doing a full virus scan again just to be sure. It does not show up in Task Manager anymore. Don't know if it was a virus/trojan or what, but Google search says its some USB camera software task. So I unplugged the camera for good measure.

Apologies for blaming Boinc. I guess I was too eager to 'shoot the messenger' for telling me something was messing with my pc and keeping it from doing its job.

Thanks again to everyone for all your help. Case closed.

Back to hunting for aliens...

Here are some more clues.

Looking though the stdoutgui.txt file and counting back the days in the log from the evening of July 2nd (when I rebooted), there are 3 days of 1816 errors. That means it starting erroring out on June 30th.

Boinc had just finished two Astropulse work units and was trying to upload the results to Seti@Home on that day, but the Seti servers were down for maintenance.

So, could there be a resource leak in Boinc when it needs to upload work units but the Project's server is off-line?

Just a thought.

Professor Ray,

Thanks for the suggestions.

The pagefile is set to 1344MB to 2688MB
This machine has 1GB memory

I've run a full scan using Microsoft Security Essentials as well as a full checkdisk at system boot thinking it might be a harddrive issue. Neither one found any problems.

Its not a Dell and does not have wireless.

I ran System File Checker and it did not report anything, but then again, I don't know if it would - or just replaces them.

I'll check out the other links as well,

Professor Ray,

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at that tab and I don't have disk quotas enabled:
Status: Disk quotas are disabled.

No kids in the house and the wife has her own laptop.

All are running under the Owner account.

That's all I recognize and boinc related. Let me know if I missed any.

It's not locked up yet - I just restarted the pc this morning. So I'm monitoring it a couple of times a day, keeping Windows Task Manager up, to see if I can tell when it start going south.

Thanks!

I've uninstalled Boinc, shutdown, powered on, resinstalled Boinc. Same thing happens, error 1816 starts filling up the stdoutgui.txt file and the pc goes completely unresponsive. This is not immediate, it may take a day or two before the errors appear and the pc locks up.

When it does lock up, the Start Button may not work, or just show a partial menu, the task manager may not work or show an error message that it failed to initialize properly. As a result, I cannot perform a clean shutdown and have to power it off manually.

This sounds like a memory/system resource leak within Boinc.

But like I said, Boinc is the only application running on this machine. And without Boinc running, it does not lock up.

It's a stand alone desktop machine and not a virtual server and not a network domain server. Just straight windows xp sp3.

The Boinc version was downloaded right off this web site. I've even uninstalled, downloaded a new install, and reinstalled Boinc.

I have been running Boinc on this box for a couple of years now and this is the first time I've had any issues.

Thanks.

For the past month Boinc has been locking up my PC and filling the hard drive with errors in the stdoutgui.old file. Currently its over 250MB after just 5 days.

The entries are:
10:47:13 PM: Error: can't open file 'C:\Program Files\BOINC\\RebootPending.txt' (error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.)
[06/25/10 22:47:14] TRACE [2720]: init_asynch() boinc_socket: 560

And then the error 1816 errors just repeat thousands of times until the system just stops responding and I have to do a hard reset.

This is Windows XP SP3
E2180 @ 2Ghz dual CPU
No GPU
1GB RAM

Bonic Version 6.10.56
wxWidgets Version: 2.8.10

Aside from APC PowerChute UPS software and MicroSoft Security Essentials, that is all I run on this machine.

Any ideas??

Thank you.
