Hi guys I got a strange one. My intel 3930k based PC is having 100% Invalids due to Client error. The strange thing is I have another older i7 a few feet away with little to no error's. The PC in question has been a rock up till now and it's only rosetta it's having problems with as I can start crunching WCG or another CPU based WU's no problem. I've tried the usual suspects plus detaching re-ataching but still nothing. Nothing in message log either, all seems well at this end but.. Please help. Most like this. link

I had the exact same problem. I was forced to quit rosetta due to this. There's something about the new i7s that's causing troubles...

Thanks for you reply Chilean. I found your other posts & it appears we have the same problem. I thought at first maybe GPU-Grid the fly in the ointment but my other i7 920 based PC has no such problems running them both. The funny thing they seem to complete OK no errors as such, they just wont validate an give that annoying client error in the web page results.

Also there are a hand full of 3930's in the top 20 computer in statistics so unless it's just one stepping it's probably not that.

I'm getting nowhere fast, I just did a reset on the machine but now can't get any WU's as I now have a daily limit of just 1.

So the fight continues. A little help from a friendly admin would be nice, but I guess you can't have everything. Any more suggestions?

Crunch on if you can ..JN..

Hi Jugnut

You might be helpful in catching what is causing this bug - just had a quick look and it appears your i7 920 is ok while your 3930K isn't, and yet both are running the same OS (Win 7 64-bit) and the same BOINC version: 7.0.36.

Can you clarify whether the machines have GPUs (it appears that at least one does from your other projects), and if so, what GPU(s) and driver version(s)? Also, any other differences between the setups relating to BOINC?

Thanks for the interest Danny

I'm getting close to giving up & pulling out it's just not worth the agony when all other CPU & GPU projects work a-OK. Per your question: Both, working & non-working PC's both have AMD & Nvidia GPU's. The only difference the non-rosie crunching PC, the 3930k has a AMD HD 7970 plus a Nvidia GTX 670 while the PC that crunch's rosies good, the i7 920 has a AMD HD 6970 plus a GTX 580. Both have roughly the same drivers (non-beta's) crunch the same things have the same version of windows & boinc & are generally have no problem with boinc. If anything the 920 based PC is slighly unstable buy yet it's the one that works.

So far i've dettached twice & reset once, still nothing.

There must be flags to set in cc_config to diagnose these types of things. Anyone no what they are & how to diagnose them after?

Thanks for reading, the fight continues

In case it helps the team, the drivers in use are:

i7-920 (working)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (1535MB) driver: 306.23
AMD AMD Radeon HD 6900 series (Cayman) (2048MB) driver: 1.4.1741

i7-3930K (failing)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2048MB) driver: 301.42
AMD AMD Radeon HD 7900 series (Tahiti) (3072MB) driver: 1.4.1720

from here:

Also, in case it helps you and the team, you could try updating the drivers on the 3930k to match those on your 920 as they're both slightly older.

I realize both of your machines are running BOINC v7, but your description sounds the same as others where reverting to a v6 edition of BOINC Manager resolves such problems. See this thread for details.

Thanks for your reply Mod.Sense,

If it where that easy I most defiantly would. I support a few GPU projects that require v7 Boinc or higher that I crunch all the time so thats just not an option. Thanks anyway. If the problem is ever fixed please post a notice & i'll come a runn'in. It sounds like there's many others that would do the same.

All the best to you and the project.

Cheers ..JN..

In my case downgrading to v6 didn't solve the problem.
