Do you guys think I should try Application/Sensor debug mode? So far everything has been based on my pc having the error, as opposed to the sensor itself.

I don't know if you have noticed that;but it seems you have a problem with your UTs, Euphoriabuzz.

Thanks.

Hi, getting fed up now as it has happened again today at about 17.30. I have no idea why it is doing it. I cannot place a single event that coincides with this project messing up but it is happening nearly every day now. I am going to remove the project and add it again in a last ditch attempt to sort it out. It would have been nice to have had a reply from project admins or to have had them analyse my WU's which are still running allegedly (I think there are 6 now that think they are running)

ok thank you Gary and CherstyAl- I read the article and had a look and yes the power management was ticked to allow windows to control power to USB. I have disabled this for all USB ports as am not sure how to work out which is which relative to device manager. This promptly gave me BSOD which disappeared too quickly for me to read beyond USB driver error.

So no new tasks set, reset project, unplugged sensor, restarted pc, uninstalled usb driver and removed device. Restarted pc and plugged all back in again. It took a good 5 mins before windows found the driver but it did reinstall it. I have now allowed the project to collect a WU and it does state it will take 3 hrs to run, set to 2 hrs so possibly still a problem.

My question is why the random crashes of this project when it runs 24 hrs a day, why would USB power management kick in at such random intervals? I also wonder why it took over a week before this started to happen? Maybe I have other problems here too. No reports in AVG, or windows firewall.

I also wonder if my cpu/gpu graphics card set up is anything to do with the issues. I have dual graphics (not crossfire) comprising of an AMD APU as primary and a HD6670 as a secondary card.

This is so frustrating as have been waiting nearly 3 yrs to get this project up and running.

I appreciate the help from you both.

haha last post should say 0.05 - 0.06 - anyway, I changed USB port and time and it seems to have settled down overnight. I shall keep a close eye on it and see how it goes. I am wondering why my tasks that took double the specified time to run but have been completed and validated why no credit has been awarded for them?

It was all working absolutely fine until the 1/3/2015 - I am moving it to another USB port to see if any difference is made. I do have avg but I am loathe to remove it just for Boinc as it has not caused a problem before and is giving me no indication that it is causing a problem now. Any suggestions for an alternative antivirus?
I am also going to change the time server to windows.com (from nist) clock as Gary suggested the change of date may have been an issue.
My internet connection is stable, no dropouts.
I can tell you though that when I have a WU that is running at double the expected time the sensor is showing higher figures than normal ie 0.23 when it is normally at 0.5- 0.6. Please excuse my ignorance in all of this by the way and thank you for the help, I have not heard back from Szopler so far regarding the rogue WU. perhaps I have to wait for that to expire on 15th for things to settle down. Is there a reset for the actual sensor or is unplugging it enough to reset it?

So today at 18.05 I get this message

Hello,

Your sensor connected to host http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=13304 is not responding. If you did not remove it on purpose, you may have to check
if it is connected and working properly.

I looked and it seems to be working ie numbers on screen are fluctuating as per normal, lcd is lit. My WU is running ok according to Boinc manager. I guess this message may be relating to the rogue WU that is on my account.

I seem to have re-appeared on the map although the rogue WU is still showing as in progress on my account. I have messaged Szopler about it.

Thank you Gary and Chertsy Al, yes the sensor is still plugged into original USB, and the program you suggested has detected it is plugged in. I tried unplugging sensor resetting project and restarting pc but the rogue workunit sample_4525948_0 is still showing as running when it is not. I think this is the issue as, previously suggested by Chertsy Al as for some reason my 2hr WU are taking considerably longer. I had hoped it would go once I reset etc but it still shows on my account as in progress.
