1) Message boards : Number crunching : All VM tasks postpone (Message 28035) Posted 1 Dec 2016 by Redirect Left Post: As stated in my first post, i did try upgrading the vbox version and it improved nothing, and reverted back to the BOINC provided version as I assumed that was the defacto "known works" and that's why it was provided. However I have reupdated and, unsurprisingly, The same "failed to respond in a timely fashion". I've doubled checked the RAM usage, and once again task manager is reporting 45 to 55% usage, so still around 4GB free, and BOINC is set to allow up to 90% RAM usage (regardless of idle or not) and to leave at minimum 0.25GB free, so at worst there is 3.75GB going around.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : All VM tasks postpone (Message 28026) Posted 1 Dec 2016 by Redirect Left Post: Hello. I'm having an issue where all VM tasks are returning 'VM Hypervisor failed to enter an online state in a timely fashion' OR "waiting for memory" I'll speak about the first one first: Task manager shows that 'VM Interface' is using about 30% CPU (of an Intel i5-4690, 4 core @ 3.5GHz), at around the 10 to 20 minute mark, it will pause with the above not timely fashion error. The second one, I'm not sure what sort of 'memory' it is waiting for. But when I have noticed it, task manage says there is about 50% left (of an 8GB RAM machine, leaving 4GB to spare). The same error occured with vLHC@HOME, i recently enabled all other tasks on my LHC@Home account, as it was sixtrack only to start with. Can anyone point me in the direction of what is wrong here? 4GB spare seems quite a lot at least in terms of RAM. I've tried updating VirtualBox, no fix. So i've reverted back to the VirtualBox that comes as part of the BOINC install. I've tried restarting the machine too and removing all active VMs and reloading. Full systen spec: Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 Intel i5-4690, 4 core @ 3.5GHz 8GB of RAM (7.84 usable, according to system info window) Over 100GB of spare space on the drive BOINC uses for data storage
