I have been wrestling for months trying to get this program to run properly on my athlon x2 / windows x64. I cannot get cpdn to run for more than a couple of hours before it crashes the machine. Please see my other posts here and at bbc.cpdn.

I have updated directX, graphics drivers, x64 patches etc. Cooling has been upgraded: CPU temps are below 52 flat out, MB below 38, GPU below 55 in this heatwave and are usually much lower (cpu ~46-48, MB 28-30, gpu 50-53). I am not overclocking the cpu or memory. I have relaxed the memory timings to 2.5-7-7-12 2T, as tightening them up made the machine lock up (defaults are 2.5-4-4-7 2T).

I am receiving no error messages, there are no warnings in PCProbe, no BSOD, no error logs.

I have run several memtest 86, Prime 95 tests (one per cpu) for 24 hours without errors or warnings. This machine appears stable and will run SETI indefinitely.

I am at my wits end and will have no choice but to uninstall cpdn unless i can resolve this issue, as i am worried that i am stressing some hardware component which is causing a self-defence shutdown response.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The error messages you are getting are

<core_client_version>4.45</core_client_version>
<message>There are no child processes to wait for. (0x80) - exit code 128 (0x80)
</message>

The only reference I can find to this relates to the version of DirectX - which do you have installed? Do you know if there different versions of DirectX for 64bit and 32bit, or if it\'s a single driver?

Hi,

I would simply download latest version on BOINC; generation 4.x is way outdated, use 5.x instead.

I am running BOINC 5.4.9

Why am i getting error messages for version 4.45

Sometimes if the old version isn\'t uninstalled you end up with a horrible hybrid of 4.45 and 5.4.9 (the manager is 5, and the boinc.exe is 4). A slightly long winded solution might be to:

Uninstall 5.4.9
Install 4.45
Uninstall 4.45
Reinstall 5.4.9
