No one can read that error. So if it's the same as before, no need to repost. If it's a new one, please repost.

But let's try something different: 3DMark, download, install, run the Firestrike Test/Demo.
See if it survives that. Any artifcating you see, tell us about it.

You can also install Whocrashed and have it run over your dump files to tell you what crashed your computer.


the report text is already in the picture.
Graphics cards are underclocked (-100 MHz core/gddr) and stable in any benchmark/games.

Some observations:
1. There have been no changes between these versions with return to how GPU tasks suspend/resume.
2. You also changed your videocard drivers. It's much more likely you fixed your problem doing that.
3. BOINC by itself does nothing with the GPUs. It merely detects what kind of GPU is in the system, according to the drivers that you installed and what the capabilities are (CUDA & OpenCL mainly). It does not put load on them, which will usually cause the BSODs.
4. 7.7.2 was mostly a concept release to see if the developer in question could pack everything together, build a working client out of it and if the installer he built worked in the different Windows versions (which it doesn't).
5. In itself any 7.7 version will never become a recommended version, because of its numbering. Major.odd.revision means it's an unstable alpha/beta version. Major.even.revision means it's a stable release candidate/recommended version. So any next recommended version will always be a 7.8


Indeed, I still got a bsod on suspend.

BOINC v 7.7.2 is much better than 7.6.33 on gpu suspend/resume tasks,
no bsod anymore on my machine (nvidia gpu).
I think it shall be promoted as stable and replace 7.6.33 .

Since I changed from boinc version 7.6.33 to version 7.7.2
and nvidia drivers 381.89 to 382.05 i had no bsod anymore so far.

Got another issue (boinc seems guilty in this case)


On Tue 5/2/2017 10:25:58 PM your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\050217-20718-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x16BF70)
Bugcheck code: 0x133 (0x0, 0x501, 0x500, 0xFFFFF801C3C75348)
Error: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Looks like to be an Nvidia driver issue:

On Sat 4/29/2017 11:33:48 AM your computer crashed

This was probably caused by the following module: nvlddmkm.sys (nvlddmkm+0x83546)

company: NVIDIA Corporation
description: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 381.89
Bug check description: This indicates that the current thread is making a bad pool request.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 381.89 , NVIDIA Corporation).
Google query: NVIDIA Corporation BAD_POOL_CALLER

Hi,

I suffer from several BAD POOL CALLER BSOD on win 10 since few months
at the moment I close or suspend boinc.

I use the following project on CPU and GPU (NVIDIA):

einstein.phys.uwm.edu
milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway
setiathome.berkeley.edu
www.gpugrid.net
www.worldcommunitygrid.org

Running on 3 GPU (GTX 1070/GTX1070/GTX 1060).
My machine is rock stable and only have issue with boinc.

Using latest drivers and so on.

Any clue to solve this ?

I use BOINC 7.6.33

Please, could you stop upping this topic? The Prefsremodel page has been around since 5 years ago. It's not one that will be done quickly, and until someone finds someone else to do these things, it's probably never going to be added all.

So, if you truly want what's on that page added to BOINC, best find a buddy programmer with lots of time on his hands. Continuing to up this topic or asking every 2 weeks if it's done yet isn't going to be helpful.


Sorry, I was not aware, will stop posting.

Whenever http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/PrefsRemodel can be implemented, be it fully or partially. Depends on if programmers for it can be found.

At the moment the three main BOINC developers are no longer paid by BOINC, so they've fanned out to other paid jobs that they primarily work for to be able to live their lives and pay the rent. It all is an open source thing, we'll have to wait until someone capable says they want to take it up.


Hi, Happy New Year 2016 !

Any progress on this topic ?

"Note: this feature will be easier to implement when we switch to
modeling each GPU as a separate resource."

When is this planned ?

I've just sent this to the BOINC Development email list:

The past couple of days we've had a person try to suspend individual GPUs in https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10698
When he games, he wants his Nvidia GPU to suspend and his AMD GPU to continue.

I'm thinking this could be solved by adding a couple of exclusive_gpu switches, <exclusive_amdgpu_app>, <exclusive_nvidiagpu_app> and <exclusive_intelgpu_app>, where when these are set and the exclusion program is in memory all of the AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs get suspended, but those not specifically mentioned continue.

Is that a doable thing?
Is that something we'd want to add? Or is that thought to be too fiddly?

I'm thinking these new switches can be used for finer control than just <exclusive_app> and <exlcusive_gpu_app>



That would be perfect, thank you !
