Topic 193870
(moderation:
hope this is the correct forum.
this has happened now more times in a row. I am not able to get results. very frustrating?
What is wrong? I have installed the latest version of the BOINC software 6.2.18, but this happened already with the previous version as well.
any resolution to the problem?

Hi,
what happens, if you do as requested?
Note: All results in progress are lost.

Are you using CPU throttling?

Project is reseted, results are reported as lost (after 10CPU hours used...)
and a new task is downloaded and started from scratch
RE: RE: Are you using CPU

Well, that's your problem then.
Reset Use at most xx percent of CPU time to 100%.
The "CPU throttling" is known to cause restarting of tasks on some machines. If you get heat or response time problems when running on full load, set On multiprocessors, use at most xx percent of processors to 50% in your preferences. That may run only one task at a time, but will prevent your computer from overheating and all your tasks from continuous restarting.
A fix for this problem (better CPU throttling) will (hopefully) be added to the 6.4 client.
RE: RE: RE: Are you

thanks, I am doing so
and wait for the new client or find a better way to cool the CPU again.

Hi!
Just to make sure....
The stderr.txt contains this error message:
with each restart. While throttling is certainly one cause for the frequent restarts, is this maybe a separate problem ? Is it typical for throttling-induced restarts to have this error message?

I also see as well. And I don't throttle. Isn't this basically the "no heartbeat" message in a different format? I've never found a resolution to this.

Actually, I think your problem is a different one still:

This is all about not being able to get the S5R3 (!!) app files.
Strange...Did you use the "dual run" app_info.xml file posted in this forum, but maybe forgot to download the apps in question? Do you have an app_info.xml file installed? Does the problem persist if you remove it?
