As the thread title states, I keep on getting this message w/my results.

What's wrong?

it looks like the machine with Win 2003 Enterprise Server is having trouble? We never tested on that, it's possible it's incompatible. Is there something else running on that machine that could be causing a conflict?
It could be some oddity with the 4.02 boinc client as most of the errors seem to be in launching our app rather than in executing our app.

I went and removed the Windows 2003 Server O/S and reinstalled XP Pro.

I still got some errors, and found my memory tweaked a little too high, which under normal circumstances, work fine, but not w/BOINC apparently.

So far, so good. Won't know for sure until I have crunched some numbers.

Thx

Check out your system with Memtest86 and also the GIMPS prime torture test. They will pick up errors that are a problem but that often go unnoticed...

Do the checks at the max operating temperature!

Good luck,
Martin

Everything is running fine now. It appears to have been the memory. It was tweaked too high.

Unfortuniately, I had removed Server 2003, as well as lost my original Computer ID, which was 193, and now I have two, 949 and 1027, for the same system. 949 was for my system w/Server 2003 on it, and 1027 for the same one, but w/Windows XP Pro, instead.

I've got exactly the same problem

I have "computing client errors" and I don't know why.
see http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=212669

but I did not overclock my machine.

The error message is not very explicit :-/

For info, I'm running MandrakeLinux 10.1 (kernel 2.6.8)
Hardware :
AMD Duron 1200MHz
250Mo RAM

Exit status of -5 (0xfffffffb) is also rather cryptic.

However other posts mention that this is a general catch all for computing errors. (Generally detected as negative pressure in one of the cells in your model.

I am sorry I cannot be any more helpful than to suggest checking UK_Nick's hardware stickies in the PHP forum:
