Having major problems with R@H units locking up completely, not just % freezing like some others have reported but the science application itself will often lock up completely and the core will go unused .

The watchdog (or whatever its called) never restarts or terminates the application, I've left the frozen applications for over 8 hours to see if something would happen but nothing ever did.

If I restart BOINC the frozen application will usually continue around the area it froze.

Incidently the time where most of the freezing seems to occur is somewhere around 2 hours 40 min to 2 hours 55 min mark.

Machine is core 2 on XP.

The same thing have happened several times to me aswell. Not sure about the time scale though. Luckily the fan speed drops considerably when this happens so I usually notice it right away.

So on the advanced view of the BOINC Manager, on the tasks tab, what is shown for the task in the status column? Is it waiting for memory? waiting to run? or Running?

And when this occurs, am I correct that the CPU time shown in the graphic does not increase?

There have been problems in the passed where BOINC seems to lose contact with the crunching thread. And this prevents the watchdog from detecting the problem. But I had thought that was resolved now on the newer versions of BOINC. But it looks like you are already using BOINC 5.8.16.

How frequently are you seeing this happen?
When you restart, do the tasks complete normally?

The BOINC manager says it is running. I am almost, but not 100%, sure that the CPU time does not increase. Is has happened 3 times in the past two or three weeks now. Although I am not sure that only Rosetta tasks have freezed, maybe this is a BOINC problem. I'm still using BOINC 5.8.15, I'll update it and see if it gets better.

Also, the tasks continues normally after I restart BOINC.
