Running CPU benchmarks
(Message 30795)
Posted 4 Feb 2010 by paul Post: My Boinc sometimes comes up with this message Running Boinc benchmarks and suspends the running programs, it then resumes the projects about 32 seconds later. however all projects then go straight back to their last saved position.I can lose several hours work on some projects and other shorter ones getting close to finish will start again. can I turn off whatever causes this as I did not run the CPu benchmarks , it did it itself, alternatively can it automatically save the running projects before running this? thanks Paul |

Questions and problems :
communicating with client please wait
(Message 30413)
Posted 1 Jan 2010 by paul Post: Hi I keep getting this message which completely locks my computer up for about 5 minutes each time. There are only 2 boxes to tick, Exit boinc and Cancel but neither seem to do much good. I would suggest a 3rd button which disconnects the internet connection instantly as if it cannot sort it out with the client in a few seconds it should be terminated if this cannot be done perhaps a warning not to chuck a brick through the screen in frustation should be included. |

Communicating with Boinc Client -please wait
(Message 27753)
Posted 4 Oct 2009 by paul Post: I occasionally keep getting this message and it is a pain in the neck as it often stops boinc for about a minutes then they run for a little while then the message appears again sometimes as little as 3 seconds the trouble is when it shows everything else on my pc stops as well it would be useful to have details of which project it is and an option to not let it connect as it only gives two options of closing boinc or clear neither of which are helpful |

Boinc links
(Message 27714)
Posted 1 Oct 2009 by paul Post: Hi Jord it seem to stay ok for a few hours and then takes a while to load them and occasionally works correctly again later Today it was working but I needed to reinstall 3 times. since the last time it worked a few hours then went slow but is working again now without a re-install I occasionally receive a message that it cannot download because it cannot find the browser so it could just be an occasional problem as the internet is still working I use IE8 and windows XL it seems to happen with all projects including the help tab which takes you to Boinc help, Boinc Managers Help and boinc website today i clicked on the milkyway link and I knew it had stopped working properly so I did a google search found boinc and downloaded boinc it and ran and came up with the repair screen and uninstsll screen and I installed it and ran it all before the original milkyway website came up I will try next time it happens to clear tempory internet files when i get the next message about it failing to find the browser i will let you know the message. thanks again Paul |

Boinc links
(Message 27705)
Posted 1 Oct 2009 by paul Post: I have noticed a problem since the 6.6.36 was downloaded and still occurs with 6.6.38 when you click on the internet links on boinc it sometimes takes a few minutes to download them and stops boinc running until it does download it. this also affects any links from emails. I decided to reinstall boinc and everything works perfectly for a little while with almost instant internet pages but eventually goes back to a few minutes until I re install boinc the trouble is by re installing it can upset and give errors on some of the running projects. it looks like boinc is causing this error |

Posted 28 Jun 2009 by paul Post: If you complete a project well in time and it cannot upload due to a known server problem with the project servers and you past the report deadline and it is still in upload status do you lose all the credits as it will eventually report late? thanks |

Posted 19 Jun 2009 by paul Post: Hello I found another advantage of setting it to 100% when I used Tthrottle when it was set to 60% it showed a temperature of around 55-63 degrees and now shows at only 36%. and has not gone above 38 in the last 24 hours I wonder why the default is 60 not 100 as this looks better all round? regards Paul |

Posted 17 Jun 2009 by paul Post: When I am running boinc only and looking at the windows task manager, the cpu usage varies from 0% to 100% and back again about every 2 seconds permanently. The performance tab shows about 30 peaks and troughs all the time is this normal? or have I got a problem I can supply a screenprint of this if required but cannot add it to this message thanks in advance for any solution paul |

figures not updating
(Message 25238)
Posted 6 Jun 2009 by paul Post: I use Boinc stats and notice my id 5132554 has not been updated and shows no work done for 3 days and shows a figure of 62185 total credits for 3 days . when I click on my name it shows other stats which do update and shows on 3rd june 170 credits 4th june 322 credits 5th june 1628 credits also this currently shows 69304 credits. I think these should be showing on the main page and i am puzzled as work gets submitted everyday. thanks for your help |
