Hello there!

I've just upgraded from 5.10.45 to 6.2.14, and the new boinc client can't start the CPU Benchmarking, i've got the following error message when i start the CPU test:

31/07/2008 1:37:55 alfa||Running CPU benchmarks
31/07/2008 1:38:27 alfa||[error] FP benchmark ran only 0.375000 sec; ignoring
31/07/2008 1:38:27 alfa||[error] CPU benchmarks error

I'm running WCG, Cels@Home, Magnetism@home and Ibercivis on this machine and so far i dont have any other issues (well the grafics on WCG don't show but i guess that this is WCG's problem ^^)

It's a Windows XP SP3 x32 bit running on a Intel Celeron D 3,06Ghz, 2GB RAM

Any ideas why the new client don't want's to start the CPU benchmarking?

Cheers,

What happens when you go BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Run CPU benchmarks ??

It shows the same error message:

31/07/2008 1:52:16 alfa||Running CPU benchmarks
31/07/2008 1:52:16 alfa||Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks
31/07/2008 1:52:47 alfa||[error] FP benchmark ran only 0.125000 sec; ignoring
31/07/2008 1:52:47 alfa||[error] CPU benchmarks error
31/07/2008 1:52:48 alfa||Resuming computation

OMG!! ¬¬

Nevermind, sorry guys i've found the problem. The problem was created by one app from the HP Printer drivers (AKA i need to format ¬¬), so closing that app now the CPU test runns correctly! (also i can see the grafics on WCG without problems)

Sorry again ^^

Cheers,

From DA.

This may mean that a higher-priority CPU-bound process is running.
Have user check Task Manager.

i've an error:

i've an error:

Maybe it's the same problem, checkout with task manager if there's another app that makes the CPU work very high, that was my problem and i solved it closing that app
