Posted 16 Jul 2024 by Stick 		Einstein has been down for about a half hour - getting this message:
7/15/2024 8:32:16 PM | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Might be a planned outage - hadn't been paying attention to notices.

EDIT: Completed tasks still upload - but reporting completed tasks isn't working.

Well reverting back to Windows 10, v1809 was a lot easier than updating to v1903. Only took about 15 minutes vs. 3+ hours for the update. And, BOINC recognized my GPU immediately. Nothing else needed.

I did a little more experimenting after the above reversion. That is, I installed the latest Intel driver under Windows 10, v1809 and with that driver in place, BOINC couldn't find a GPU, (This was the same driver that was installed automatically as part of the latest Windows Feature Update - v1903 and caused the same "missing GPU" issue.

After that, I ran DDU again to remove v1903 Intel driver from Windows 10, v1809 and then I ran WU again to restore the v1809 driver. And I noticed that this WU driver download had 2 parts (both from Intel) - a Display part, dated 11/18/18 and an Extension part, dated 1/21/19. This makes me wonder if the problem with v1903 driver is a missing or incompatible Extension. But now that BOiNC is working again, I think I will leave things the way they are and forego more experimenting.

Posted 7 Jun 2019 by Stick 		Ageless,

Thank you for the analysis. But I am skeptical that your recommendation will work. Thet is, everything was working fine until I installed the Windows Feature Update. (I don't know if the WFU installed a different driver or left the one which had been working.) But the problem started as soon as the update went into effect. Before I posted here, I had already used DDU and installed the latest Intel driver. And, per your first suggestion, I tried 3 different earlier Intel drivers using DDU each time,

I checked the MS website and saw several problem reports relating to the new feature update (although nothing directly related to display drivers or OpenCL). But there were a few negative comments about it being a sloppy release. Therefore, I am more inclined to revert back to my pre-Windows Feature Update status. If I still have driver issues then, I can troubleshoot them using an OS I have confidence in.

Again, thank you for your help on this! And, I will report back in a day or so when the reversion is complete.\

Posted 6 Jun 2019 by Stick 		Ageless,

Thank you for the quick reply. I've tried several earlier Intel drivers and none of them work. So, I'm beginning to think that this time, it's not the driver. And I'm wondering if the new Windows Feature Update has a bug - maybe related to OpenCL. What do you thinK?

Posted 5 Jun 2019 by Stick 		I just did the latest Windows feature update - to Windows 10, version 1903 (from version 1803) and now have essentially the same problem. That is, my GPU is no longer recognized by BOINC. (BTW - The update took a little more than 3 hours.) A bit later, when I discovered the missing GPU issue, I looked for the latest Intel Driver, downloaded and installed it after using DDU to clear the old one. It didn't help. And neither did doing a BOINC Repair Install.

Bottom line - if you are thinking about the latest Windows feature update, waiting a while is probably probably a good idea.

I've just heard that there was an operational oopsie behind the scenes at LHC - a mistake cancelled a number of active tasks.

It happens. But I think BOINC is definitely off the hook for this one.

I agree. My thought, when I first posted, was that 7.8.0 had somehow been complicit in the LHC server and my client getting out of sync. But it definitely looks like LHC deserves all the blame and 7.8.0 is off the hook.

Thank you for the quick reply. LHC has been struggling with some bigger problems lately - so my report turning out to be an LHC problem, too, is not a surprise. I just wanted to make sure BOINC was aware of it. But - Toby's reply seems to put my 7.8.0 concerns to bed.

Posted 21 Jan 2015 by Stick 		Collatz was up for a short time last night but is down again. There was a very short note about the problem on the home page which I will try to paraphrase here. Unfortunately, I did not read it as carefully as I now wish.

Basically, it has been a recurring problem with DB indexing that is somehow related to the nightly back-up process. They rebuild the indexes and attempt to replicate the problem, but haven't been able to. Then the problem comes back later and crashes the server again. In other words, they are still scratching their heads.
