Do you use Slythern for your UserName in the client?

When was the last time you tested your Memory?

[Slythern]

Yes
[17:08:13] - User name: Slythern (Team 32362)

[Slythern]

Never tested memory, but can do this afternoon.

[bruce]

The fact that the error caused the WU to be deleted rather than uploading some sort of error report makes determining if this is a bad WU more difficult. One person has reported an error on this WU so there's a good chance that it's a bad WU.

The inconsistency in reporting may depend on the answers to these questions:
Which version of the client are you running?
Which OS are you running?
I can see that you're running Version 2.19 of FahCore_a3.exe.

Thanks for your help on this, answers to your questions:

Which version of the client are you running?

Folding@Home Client Version 6.29

Which OS are you running?

XP Professional SP3
Intel Core 2, 2GB of RAM

When was the last time you tested your Memory?

Finished 2 passes with MemTest86 with no errors

Also restarted the client, with RealTemp showing peak temp of 63C, immediate error as before.

Let me know if you need anything else or want me to try something to capture missing information.

6041 looks to have lots of bad WU.. We can noticed several topics about it

[RAH]

Well this one keeps coming back to haunt me. I have deleted 7 times already.
This the only WU out there?

Have tried all the flags, no flags but smp. Same error.

no mas.

Well up to 12 times.

[Tynat]

Just started to get this one too. Keeps crashing the client and the A3 core has to be manually closed. It's done this many times. The client has also downloaded the core twice and each time it gets the same WU, so it crashes again. It's stuck in a loop.

Well it took me 14 deletes of work/queue/unitinfo, before I got another wu. This is with waits in between hoping
for the AS to lose it. Couple of hours anyhow.

Really sad too, its one of the big A3s. Out of hundreds of A3s I've done, I have only done one. And it was on
a C2d.

[toTOW]

I marked the WU as bad.

[Tynat]

Thanks.
