Re: SMP deadlines

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

It was a media player BSOD caused by testing overclocked RAM/CPU while multitasking. My own fault really for not shutting down the client first.

I still have 22 hours to go before this WU reaches 100%. Hopefully the next one will give me the full amount of time to complete it.

The log says it was a bad checksum, but I have the checkpoint set to 3 minutes, so I thought the worst that could happen in a crash is that I'd lose the last 3 minutes of work, not the whole thing.

[05:27:51] - Checksums don't match (work/wudata_06CP.arc)
[05:27:51] - Attempting to revert to backup...
[05:27:51] - No backup
[05:27:51] - Could not revert
[05:27:52] - Failed to delete work/wudata_06- FaiWarning: check for stray files
[05:27:52] - Starting from initial work packet

kodi, I'm not sure but I think it's different for the SMP client. It's still in beta so the deadlines are much shorter and more strict than for the standard clients while they're testing, so I suspect I won't get any points for late results.

Snoop, next time you get a blue screen, make a note of the Stop code. It will help you find the cause of the crash.

Matt, it looks like you have worse luck than me with computers
