Hello! I'm new to these forums, and am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Anyway, I have recently gotten a new computer and installed boinc on it. Rosetta@home being my favorite project, that was the first project for me to install.

However, as far as I can see, every workunit has failed with an error code of -200. I looked it up, and found little information on the topic. The exit code is -186 (0xffffffffffffff46). I'm not sure if the errors are a result of an unstable processor or hardware compatibilities or some other issue I'm not aware of.

I'd appreciate any help you guys could give me! Here's a link to one of the failed workunits:

Hi Ameobea, my first guess would be disk space - is there enough on the partition that the BOINCData folder is on?

Otherwise, could be a download error for that file that's mentioned...

Yes, boinc has plenty of spare space. I gave it 10gb, and it's only using just over 2. Also, I've been getting that error on almost every workunit I've gotten so far, so I don't think it's a download error. Maybe my antivirus is getting in the way. If it keeps up, I'll try disabling the firewall. I already set it to exclude the boinc program files and program data directories.

Maybe try running memtest and/or prime95 to check the hardware then. Might be faulty RAM... Or PSU...


Well, I guess I should have checked my overclock better :p

It was still just a bit unstable, as demonstrated by a bluescreen part way into a prime95 run. Shows my nubbyness in regards to that.

Anyway, I nerfed my processor a bit and hope that works!

Thanks for the suggestion :)
