I do not know if this is the right forum but ... anyhow:
I have a Shuttle XPC-computer with a P4 @ 2.8GHz running 24/7.
I have had it for more than 1½ year (running BOINC and other DC-projects) and it has given me no problems.
It is cleaned out about every 4 - 6 weeks (dust hunt), has no spyware (using three different programs regularly), no viruses (checked repeatedly), is behind a hardware and software firewall (Zonealarm pro, latest version)
Win XP-pro is updated (SP2 and all updates), the firewall, spyware and AV latest version.
Running BOINC 5.2.13 with SIMAP, LHC, ans Seti. No unnecessary programs, drivers etc.
Problem:
When running BOINC the comp goes down every 8 - 9 hours and hangs. No reboot, nothing. It is not overheating (I have monitored the temp it stays below 78 degrees C). It does the same with BOINC 5.2.5. I have to reset the computer. No error messagees visible.
When runnning Folding@home or DPAD the comp runs perfectly 24/7. The processor temp is around 83 degrees C when running F@H and still the comp runs without any problems 24/7.
I have looked at the BOINC-forums but not found anything helpful. I have paused different project and run them one at the time still the comp goes down. I have tried older versions of BOINC, AV, Firewall, disabled video-drivers (i.e. used the native window VGA-driver), removed all drivers which are not necessary, disabled stuff in BIOS (serial ports, USB-ports, etc), updated the BIOS and still the problem is there.
To me it seems not to be am application (project) problem, not a hardware problem, not a driver or BIOS probelm, but a BOINC problem. I could be wrong though and therefore:
Any ideas?
I will (probably) post a similar thread at the BOINC-forum but would first ask my TeAm-mates ... 😉 ... if I am missing something ... :Q
