About a week ago two of my computers started throwing computation errors instantly upon new WU download. Since it started, some WUs compute fully and others error out instantly with no obvious pattern. Today the errors became constant again. Event log examples: 1/30/2017 12:22:26 AM | Universe@Home | Started download of universe_bh2_160803_62_52_20000_1-999999_445000 1/30/2017 12:22:28 AM | Universe@Home | Finished download of universe_bh2_160803_62_52_20000_1-999999_445000 1/30/2017 12:22:28 AM | Universe@Home | [error] Can't copy projects/universeathome.pl_universe/BHspin2_1_windows_intelx86.exe to slots/1/BHspin2_1_windows_intelx86.exe: Error 5 1/30/2017 12:22:29 AM | Universe@Home | Computation for task universe_bh2_160803_62_52_20000_1-999999_445000_0 finished 1/30/2017 12:22:29 AM | Universe@Home | Output file universe_bh2_160803_62_52_20000_1-999999_445000_0_r1263741599_0 for task universe_bh2_160803_62_52_20000_1-999999_445000_0 absent Win7x64, AMD FX 8370, 16GB RAM. Not overclocked, not running hot, plenty of empty HD/RAM space and plenty of HD/RAM space allocated to BOINC, reboot doesn't help, project reset/remove-and-add doesn't help, and POGS is currently running fine on six cores. Anyone have any ideas? |

It's the radiation from the black holes. It's affecting your system. You'll need to shield your house. :) |

Event log examples: Did resetting the project remove the Universe project folder? I've never reset a project. Seems like this might be a permission and/or access error: 1/30/2017 12:22:28 AM | Universe@Home | [error] Can't copy projects/universeathome.pl_universe/BHspin2_1_windows_intelx86.exe to slots/1/BHspin2_1_windows_intelx86.exe: Error 5 |

Yes, remove/re-add removed the project folder. Permissions problem is an interesting thought, but I checked before and after and there don't appear to be any issues. I've pretty much given up on the project, though I'll let my remaining four machines keep burning until I find something better. |

Possibly an anti-virus can cause a problem like that. Have you excluded the BOINC data folder? I have seen a few access problems due to the write-cache I use also, but never in the BOINC folder; they have been elsewhere. |

Good call. I forgot that the two machines with the problem were running a different virus scanner than the others. Guess it updated without telling me (grumble) and wiped out my whitelist in the process. I'm back to full capacity. Thanks. |
