this one failed too:

How ironic! I was just going to advise that everything seems to be running smoothly with Rosetta 1.80 (no errors in the last 7 days) and then today... the same old problem re-occurred:

Damn... have had a spate of computation errors again.

Out of the last 20 WUs, 8 have failed.

All seem to be "can't aquire lockfile - exiting" errors.

I've using Rosetta 1.97 and BOINC 6.6.38 on Vista Home Premium 32bit.

Also, all these lockfile failures have occurred without any A/V on my system (although I have since installed Kaspersky antivirus 2010).

Finally, I'm running BOINC in protected mode (as a service), cos if I don't I can't seem to exit from BOINC cleanly from the systray manager.

I hope someone can assist, as I don't get lockfile issues with my other projects and it seems like a waste of time to be crunching units, only to get a 40% failure rate at the end of it.


Thanks in advance,

Gary

well I'm also having problems on my xp machine. no probs on my vista machine. here's a link to my detailed stats:
http://boincstats.com/stats/user_graph.php?pr=rosetta&id=192
I haven't had a good wu off the host flunky in quite some time.

anybody got ideas?

A link to the host having problems.

Given the way it is failing on all work units, and at various times in the run, and the "wingman" is able to complete the same task without incident would all seem to point to some, heat, memory or overclocking problems on your machine. Have you checked for dust bunnies in side the case? Have you tried memory stress test tools? Are you overclocking the machine?

I will try uninstalling and re-installing. I don't know I'm at my wits end here!!! I run rosetta on a total of 3 machines this is the only one having problems.

Sry Mod.Sense u were right. I ran prime95 and it was bad ram. I have 2 sticks of 512 so I ran it with both in. It failed after 2hrs 46min. I pulled one stick out and it failed in the first 11 minutes. Then I took that stick out and ran rosetta. I got home from work and one unit finished and is ready to report. Sounds like the problem is fixed. Thanks now all 3 of my host can crunch. sry I doubted you!!!
