BOINC causes system crash
(Message 30277)
Posted 20 Dec 2009 by Mark Post: Thanks for the suggestions. My system is clean inside and the cpu usually runs at about 47C. I think the problem was my graphics card. I turned off the gpu by creating a cc_config.xml file: <cc_config>
<options>
<no_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>
My graphics card is based on the Nvidia 6800, but the version I have does not have a fan on the graphics card ( just a large heat sink). The gpu might have been overheating, but the utilities can't tell me the temp of the gpu. Seem to be working fine now. Too bad the gpu is now off, won't be able to process as fast. Previously, it ran for years without issues with the gpu. |

BOINC causes system crash

Posted 7 Dec 2009 by Mark Post: Hello, When BOINC is running on my system, it will crash my computer after about 5 minutes. Not sure what is causing it, but I've had it running on this system in the past without any issues. When the system crashes, it abruptly turns off. To get it back on, I have to unplug the power. There are no event error logs from the crash. With BOINC turned off, I have no system issues. details: Windows XP Pro, SP2 BOINC v 6.10.18 Projects: Einsein, SETI, PrimeGrid I have thus far tried the following: upgrading BOINC to the newest version uninstall and reinstall BOINC turning off the screensaver upgraded my video driver upgraded DirectX suspended all but one project Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark |
