One of my boxes has 5 or 6 Wu's that show as being reported on the 19 and 20, and the credit is still pending.I also have a few that got 0 credit.Why am I not getting credit for these?

2 different computers have to (successfully) complete the same work unit (including yourself) before you receive credit for it. A work unit which you have completed and submitted will have credit pending until somebody else (successfully) completes it and turns it in.

As for your 0 credit results, like this one (http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/workunit.php?wuid=342322), that seems to be happening due to a validation error (see "Validate state" at the bottom of this page (http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/result.php?resultid=684793)). Only 244 seconds of CPU time went into it before it gave up. Is that computer overclocked, or unstable? If not, I would suggest you mention it on the official forum, quoting the associated work unit page (http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/workunit.php?wuid=342322), results page (http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/result.php?resultid=684793) and computer info page (http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7164).

Actually, it looks like every single work unit that that particular computer has crunched has only a few seconds of crunch time and a validate error. The other two computers you have on the project are going fine so I would suggest a reinstall of BOINC on that computer, or a possible hardware problem.

Edit: only just noticed Bok's thread about 0 credit work units (http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12107), so presumably this is a widespread problem?

It's overclocked! I backed off the o.c. to 2 gig.I also reinstalled Boinc.If that doesn't resolve the problems, guess I'll have to throw the XP2500 Barton that I have lying around, in this one!! That way, it will still smoke, without the o.c.!! :lmao:
