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.

Hi! I'm quite sure the the hw is ok, because it ran seti classic all the
time and often runs several days under heavy load. I hope my HD is also ok, since I am quite paranoid about this: I had a HD crash last year, so  I check my S.M.A.R.T values more often then neccessary :)



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.

Ok, I think I'll try that.



You could try linux instead. All works very well here (;-))
/Me knows. Actually this is my only windows machine. I wanted to test BOINC on the least important machine first :)


Good luck,
Martin
