ah ha, that would explain why the MJW PC had an "unrecoverable error" and I was about to blame the new Bonkit.

itsme said:I know..... I know! lost hrs and hrs of workall sorted now
BOINC should have tried to run the 'hb' WU and then given up and downloaded a new one and start on that.. you shouldn't have 'lost hours and hours of work'
I had one of the hb units and BOINC just moved on to the next one.
For my own curiosity can you explain a bit more.

Sure I will!
I have 3 PCs 2 of which were ok, slow but ok, my main cruncher stopped crunching but that was through spyware doctor? so that is out, now with the 3rd one it ran a unit for 9hrs [I time most jobs] but it showed only 3hrs run time and 40% done so every 1hr I checked it, by the end of 12hrs I guessed something was amiss as it was still showing 3hrs and 44% so I let it run and finally when it reached 4.50hrs I aborted it, now it started here>05/30/2006 07:43:25 and I ended it here>05/31/2006 17:15:59 = 22hrs lost? the job was faah0518 d151cb197 x1hpv 01.so I uninstalled BIONC downloaded the up-dated version tweaked, and it is going very well, I have since done all 3 PCs with the up-dated version and no problems.
Hope you can understand what I have said.
My only moan (you may have heard this before ) Is that my returns seem to be high 1 day. low the next, then high the next day, a strange pattern here is emerging. Oh and download latest tweak and my benchmarks are:
4090 Wetsone? 13420 Drystone? or what ever their called. Is that good??
System:
AMD Athlon 64 3800(939 Venice)
1GB RAM, 250GB SATA HDD,
Asus A8N-E Motherboard,
128MB ATI 800x PCI-E G/C

That does sound a little odd, but i will point out a couple of things...itsme said:Sure I will!

First up BOINC's run time is not 'wall clock time' it is the time that the task is executing, so make sure that something on the pc is not stealing cpu time from BOINC. Is the pc used soley for crunchng?
faah0518 d151cb197 x1hpv 01. That is a FightingAIDS@Home WU not a Human Proteome Folding wu starting with 'Hb' or 'Ha' Like the ones that are having the problems.
What are the specs and is it overclocked?

One prob I'm having sounds similar.
I may be reading things wrong, but I still think I'm losing time. My comp is set to run 24/7 so long as I'm not using it. I mentioned once before that I thought I was 'losing time' & I notice now that my banner says my average daily CPU time is just under 8 hours. Now I sleep nearly that long! Quite asides from the time I'm not using it during the day. So where are all the extra hours going? I'm confused. & it definitely seems to be the 'overnight' period when I'm noticing the discrepancies between time available & work done.
