Message 29399 - Posted: 1 Jul 2007, 13:28:48 UTC

My computer crashed yesterday and I now find one of my projects is running fine but the other has stopped. In advanced view in BOINC, tasks, it says under status that the project is \"waiting to run\". How do I start it running again. I\'ve tried rebooting but this hasn\'t had any effect. Thanks.

When you reboot one of the first messages will be number of CPUs. You appear to have a hyperthreaded CPU so this should read 2. The newer clients will suspend projects if there is a lack of memory. Your host only has 512mb of memory so that probably explains it.

OK, but it has run both for nearly a month and was saying that there were 2. Now it only says one. I will check my memory anyway. Thanks

Your two models have been running at 4+ sec per timestep which seems to me a bit slow for your computer. Have you got the screensaver running? It does slow the crunching down and could make a model crash due to the limited memory more likely. I\'d recommend disabling it.
