This machine:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=78712074 is giving the following error:

Too many restarts with no progress. Keep application in memory while preempted.

It's a low-end machine (Celeron 900) with 448MB RAM that I build for my girlfriend's little brother. He uses it for games and the internet, so I've set R@H to run when the comp isn't in use (after 3 mins) and it is definitely set to keep the app in memory.

Is the error above because the computer has been restarted 5 times without R@H reaching its next checkpoint? I assume it's honouring the setting to keep rosie in memory?

I have seen that happen on 1 of my slow PC-s when running big Wu-s.

Yes, exactly. No reason to doubt it is keeping in memory. The task was restarted 5 times. Either because the PC was turned off, or BOINC was exited, or the WU was preempted by the user or another project and removed from memory. Each restart Rosetta found itself where it had restarted the last time (i.e. no checkpoint was reached).

On a slower machine it takes you longer on average, to reach a checkpointable point in a model. So, you've got a higher then average chance of seeing this condition. Especially if someone is installing some new gaming software and doing multiple reboots in succession or only leaving the machine on for short periods of time.

fair enough - i'll have to look at getting some more ram (and a faster cpu) for it so it can crunch a bit more efficiently, but i've got a few other remotes in line to upgrade first!
