Hello,

I am using winxppro-sp3 to monitor my boinc computer via rpc. My dealer changed the graphicscard, which still didn't help. Next they did a clean install. That was fine for about 2 hours, but then the background of BM (around the buttons on the left side and around the big listbox/listview) either contained old data fragments or shows completely transparant or black. NAV does not find any virus, but it must be something weird, either coming from the internet, my router, my boinc pc or my cell phone. Did anyone have this problem before? And how can I solve this? (BM 6.12.34 32 bit for windows, and BM 6.12.34 64 bit windows on my boinc pc).......

Cheers,

If the videocard change didn't do it, I'd think it's the motherboard that's broken. Normally any artifacts are either caused by a broken videocard, underpowered PSU or broken motherboard.

When you're using the videocard for crunching, try doing without GPU crunching.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Can the graphicscard be broken again?

Some websites are not displayed correctly also. I am using firefox on my winXPPro-system (P4-HT). So far only BOINCManager showed those artifacts, but now my browser is too. Same problem as with the old graphicscard. I only use my P4-HT to surf, e-mail and to monitor (RPC) my real BOINC pc which is crunching, CUDA included. Switching off CUDA crunching would not help, because it is on my other machine. My P4-HT is not CUDA capable (NVIDIA FX5200).

Could it be that BM and NAV 2012 don't work well together?

The BM artifacts only seem to show if another task was run and quited while BM is running. If i restart BM from scratch no artifacts show up. That task can be the screensaver or my e-mail program or the browser (I do not use other programs yet, because of the clean install). Is my windows xp still okay?

Anyway, I shall call my dealer tomorrow.......

Darn..., why can't I fix these problems myself.....

Cheers,

William Senn.
