It seems like the server just wipes all information about what tasks I have done.
I have been crunching for 2 weeks now since I was on vacation, I guess some tasks from the ATM have errored out due to exit child (the latest one) but they disapear from my account list before I have a chance to view it.

I don't monitor my system as much as I used to so I miss these errors.

My RAC is flatlined now and I can't figure out what is going on.
I did update my GPU drivers, so maybe the next task will run.

On this last task I got to around the 29th run of the task and then it imploded. The first person that got also have error -195 exit child.

So is that why I am 0 new credit? to many exit childs? I have no way to confirm that.

If you look at your errored task output file by clicking on the result, then scroll to the end of the output you can see what the actual error was that produced the Boinc exit code.

In your case it was:
WARNING - Simulation failed: Error downloading array energySum: CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (715)

So could be something wrong with the hardware, overclocked, overheating or more likely just a badly configured set of parameters for the task.

I looked up that error, outdated drivers were part of that.
But being I had completed over 25 simulations or whatever and it bombed on the latest one to start, my thought was bad data in that. But...the third person to get the task completed it ok. So I don't know.

But anyway..any thoughts on why I don't see anything but the current task and that I am flatlined since I restarted everything on the June 8? I know there was not a lot of work when I started, but there has been recently. But I can not see if I completed anything in the last 7 days successfully or if it was all errors.
That's what is bugging me now.

You can try resetting gpugrid project at BOINC Manager.
This will free up some space hold by old slots, and download fresh libraries the next time you get a new task.
Also check for enough free disk space (more than 20GB available to BOINC)

I still can see task errors from 2024 on my account. They do clean the database rather fast here but I still have around 60 completed tasks visible on my account from as far back as 25 June
