Hi!

I have just finished my first BOINC Seti WU, however the client isn't able to upload it, it always crashes. I tried updating my Boinc from 3.19 to 3.20, but that doesn't help, because it seems to be the seti executable that crashes.

My BOINC test machine is WindowsXP based. The Boinc gui just terminiates. The CLI Client says:

[...]

***UNHANDLED EXCEPTION****

You may have found a bug. You may just have an unfortunate combination of software versions and system versions. You might even have a hardware fault.

Regardless, a good system check is to run memtest86, GIMPS torture test, and your HDD manufacturer's disk test utility.

Try clearing and reinstalling Boinc and see if you get the same error for a new WU.

If your system is good and the error repeats, then you have a bug to report.


You could try linux instead. All works very well here (;-))

Good luck,
Martin
