13/07/2012 16:14:17 LHC@home 1.0 Aborting task w1jul_niebb1d__37__s__64.28_59.31__9.6_9.8__6__28_1_sixvf_boinc64820_1: exceeded elapsed time limit 18257.559888

Thats just one example of the error I get from my machines.
I checked computers of other users and its the same. The only difference is the time after the error kicks in. Seems like it scales to the computer.
The question is, why is there a time limit? REMOVE IT!! Please
The crunching from hours (in case of my main machine 5 hours) gets wasted, without receiving any credit for that WU.
I think I will delete all LHC WUs that now and check later, when the time limit gets removed.

P.S.: After looking through several computers task I got the impression that this happens mainly to SSE3 tasks, some PNI, no SSE2 seen so far.

Matthias,

what may have happened is that the tasks were downloaded to your computer with the wrong time limit already and me changing this parameter after the download on the server could not prevent this crash.

What may help is to reset the project. You will get new tasks with the correct limit setting. It would be interesting to find out if this is the right recepy.

Igor, is the error with the SSE3 WUs now removed.
See below that it effects mainly SSE3 WUs:

yes, the work which was send after 7 pm CET on friday 13 of july should have
the correct execution time limit set. All the wus you have listed are from
before the cutoff. If in doubt, reset the project.
