I've been getting some good WUs... still a lot of errors, although not of the type seen previously.

Most of what I'm seeing right now seems to be memory Access Violations.

Just ran three tasks. Successfully.

Things that have changed semi-recently:

BOINC manager is now 7.0.25
Rosetta v3.30
New RAM
NVidia driver 301.24 (the latest beta)

Here's a seemingly silly question for any of you experiencing this problem: Does your machine have a CD/DVD drive installed?


Yes I do. It's a SATA3 "reads and writes everything" combo drive.

Checked you one computer with 4 tasks completed.
It's weird, you have this status at the end:
DONE :: 2 starting structures 7788.38 cpu seconds
This process generated 2 decoys from 2 attempts
Which is good.
But why they are invalid is weird. They ran ok. They shut down at the end of your time limit.

Also what is weird is that Mac completes the same task ok, but your Win7 machine does not at least according to Rosetta's computer system.



Yes, weird. We all agree.

Well. Ralph ran 9 WUs (so far) to completion. Successfully.

One thing I did notice, and am looking into now, is that on Ralph, I'm using the default run-time target, whereas I was using different times on Rosetta. In the interest of eliminating another variable, I'm attempting another Rosetta task with the run-time set to the default.


Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly ... the same version of the client software (3.26?) is currently being run on both Rosetta and Ralph. On Rosetta, WU's error out if GPU processing is enabled, but on Ralph, they don't. If I've correctly stated the situation, then it sounds like the problem isn't with either the Rosetta client or the NVidia drivers, it's with the Rosetta server.

Maybe it's time to look at the Rosetta server software?



That does seem to be the essence of the situation, yes.

I have now successfully completed 18 WUs from Ralph, while 3 more from Rosetta have failed.

If people are willing, signing up to Ralph@home with computers which are experiencing the problem would probably be worth trying.



Can do.


Actually, going to try a WU from the new Rosetta 3.26 first. Then we'll see about Ralph.



Sigh. Same crap as before. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=497264507

I have more tests in progress now, and will try to make another report tonight. In the mean time, can you guys with the problem please respond to these questions:

A) Anyone using the HP S1931, 2031, 2231, 2331 monitor series?


Negative. I'm using an ASUS monitor, which is being reported as a 'Generic PnP Monitor' by Windows

B) Anyone have their monitor plugged in with a true DVI cable without DVI-to-VGA adapter?


Yes I do.

C) Is everyone running with two GPU's installed?


I am not.

D) Has anyone else discovered that if the second GPU is "uninstalled" via Device Manager, the problem goes away???
E) Anyone using an SLI bridge between multiple GPU's?

I have done as you suggested, with the same outcome as before.

Brand new computer, fresh install of Win7, etc. No problems with Einstein or Collatz, but every single one of the Rosetta WUs this computer has been allowed to finish has been flagged as invalid. Why?
