Message 107906 Posted 20 Apr 2022 by JanDoggen |
Found it here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=11939#82106 I needed to use the Microsoft fix tool referenced there. After that Boinc 7.16.20 installed and my settings were kept. Pffff.... |

Message 107905 Posted 20 Apr 2022 by JanDoggen |
I just downloaded the (Windows 64bit) 7.16.20 version without Virtualbox from Boinc manager. It's an exe file. When running it complains about not being able to find the .msi file and I have to abort the installation. What's the fix? |
| 3) Message boards : Questions and problems : "Use x% CPU": Cores get too hot in bursts, fan noise kick in
Message 92313 Posted 29 Jul 2019 by JanDoggen |
My Boinc computing preferences are: - use at most 67% of CPUs - use at most 5% of CPU time The hint of that last setting explains what is happening: computing is suspended for some time, then starts, the CPUs kick in, get hot and the fans start blowing. For a test, I resumed Seti@Home and started CoreTemp. My 6 cores are at 40-45C, total system CPU fluctuates 10-30%. Boinc kicks in approximately every 20 seconds, for a period of a few seconds: Total CPU goes to something like 97%, core temperatures shoot to over 80C (CoreTemp gives this an orange warning color). ('For fun': change setting to 50% CPU and my core temps swap between 50C and 90C every second with the fans following). I don't want my cores to get this hot, and I especially don't like the continuous on/off fan noise from the PC. Is there a way to have Boinc (projects) running at a continuous CPU rate so that: a) my core temps are stable so that my fans runs continuously with an acceptable noise level; b) computing is still effective (3 out of every 20 seconds does not seem so).

I don't know if this complicates things or narrows it down: I have the suspicion it is an interaction with VMWare Player. I'm not running Boinc *in* a VM, Boinc *and* VMware Player are on the same host. |

Is this forum custom made or is it well known forum software, maybe with some tweaks? (I'm asking because I'm looking for good forum software) |

- Any mention of a reason in Windows Event Viewer? ==> The application log only shows 5 entries on 23/1 for succesful installation - But does that mean you installed as a service, or as a user installation? ==> It runs under my normal user account - Have you moved the install paths to elsewhere? ==> No - Did you install at any time a 32bit version of BOINC and later updated that to 64bit? ==> I don't remember. If so, a long time and many updates ago. - Also, is this BOINC with VirtualBox or without? ==> Without And I noticed something else (both times): the issue is not resolved after one reboot; it requires several reboots (days?) to 'settle down'. My PC refused to lock and did not shut down properly both on Tue 27/1 and Mon 26/1 (update was Fri 23/1), it locks fine today Wed 28/1. Weird. |

I just updated my 64-bits Boinc to version 7.4.36 on a Dutch Win7 64-bit OS. After that I have the following symptoms: - Windows SP1 64-bit not shutting down completely; all icons are gone, the background image is still on the screen, the HD light is only flickering occasionally. I arrive at the office next morning and it's still this way ;-) - Lock screen no longer works; either through the start menu or the Win L key combination This happened before when I updated to 7.4.27 All default update settings, I just 'click through'.
