Hello Se Parle,
Reboot, update the project using BOINC Manager, make sure you are running 5.4.9, check your Virtual Memory using something like Belarc Advisor from the Useful Utilities thread at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2490

Also, look at CPU Utilization using Task Manager. You might want to change the throttle setting: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2683#61655

Problems with FAAH ??! This is a puzzle. I have no single suggestion. Just start looking everywhere and see if something is funny.

Lawrence, i think Se Parle like Dclemens is on UD agent, not BOINC, but could the gentleman please confirm.

Se Parle, the fact that you have problem with both FAAH and HPF2 is not good. Is your virtual memory set (a.k.a. pagefile or swapfile)? You should find it in the C:\ normally. It usually has a size of 150% or more of your RAM. Verify all your systems parameters are normal using the utilities as per link provided by Lawrence.

DClemens, your 2nd machine is very likely not suitable to running HPF2. Did it do something like Receiving 3352 of 3352 bytes prior to pausing **? If so, go to the individual device profiles @ WCG. You can deselect HPF2 for that machine. If it did FAAH before, it will continue with those only.

In all cases, if in the 'i' screen of the UD agent (the fancy graphics page, right hand corner, the version number is 5.05.03 or lower and stuck for many hours at zero %, not even 0.1%, you've unfortunately got ahold of a bad work unit. Go to taskmanager and kill the UD_7234001.exe process (or a similar number). The UD agent will communicate the bad file back to WCG and retrieve a new WU with newer version, just out.

** The 3k initial exchange with the server is the handshake and specification transmittal. If your machine is above/equal 550mhz and 256mb RAM (after deduction of ram used by display) and has swapfile active, it should be able to run HPF2.

Let us know if you observ anything out outside of the UD agent.

FAAH has the same minimum requirements as HPF2. HPF1 has now finished, so if your machine can't process HPF2 then you will have to wait for the next project launch, or switch that machine to a different crunching project.

I am fairly certain that the next project will a) launch very soon and b) have lower system requirements. It is completely different to the molecular simulations we have been running on the grid so far.
