Hello again, after I

Hello again,

after I installed the new BOINC 6.2.14 for Windows x64 I get the same computation errors.

But this time I have SETI and EINSTEIN running parallel on the E4300 @ stock 1,80GHz so 1 thread is SETI and the other is EINSTEIN.

Both of them got a computation error right after resuming from hibernate.

When I let the computer alone for a day the wu's run without errors.

Hmmm... Well, one thing

Hmmm...

Well, one thing you never mentioned, but was never asked either, is do you have BOINC to leave the apps in memory when suspended?

If not, try setting BOINC set to leave them loaded and then go into hibernation. If you can come without errors now, that would indicate Windows is not giving the science applications enough time to complete writing their state to disk before suspending all running services and programs and writing the RAM image to disk.

If you already have it set to leave them in memory, then try Googling for 'Windows Fast Shutdown'. This will yield pretty extensive insight into the majority of problems like this and workarounds for it.

FWIW, problems with applications and services coming out of hibernation properly in Windows is nothing new. I finally got to the point where I just trained myself to exit from BOINC manually for machines where I had hibernation support turned on.

HTH,
