1) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1380) Posted 9 Mar 2021 by stratos412 Post: Hey. I have already done this. I have enabled virtualization on motherboard BIOS and installed virtual box on Windows machines. Everything seems to work fine and windows OS says ''virtualization is enabled'' in Task Manager However, boinc projects have a different point of view: "Virtualbox installed, CPU does not have hardware virtualization support". (This happens to all boinc projects that require virtualization) I know that both motherboard and cpu support virtualization and I have followed the steps to enable it. Anyway, I will stick to linux for the time being...

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1375) Posted 25 Feb 2021 by stratos412 Post: Yep, I completed some work units with ''validation inconclusive'' . I got some points for some of them. I suppose it has to do with the fact what the other PCs have done with those work units..
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1363) Posted 18 Feb 2021 by stratos412 Post: Indeed. I participate to almost all of the BOINC projects, using mainly Windows as primary OS . Unfortunately, most of the projects that require VirtualBox (VB), deal with these kind of issues. Some require a specific version of VB, while some others don't work with that version. (The funny thing is that my 15 years old Desktop with Linux Mint doesn't have those kind of issues. It lacks of cpu power though...). So, your suggestion is: 1) Install virtual box on windows 10. 2) Set up a virtual machine running an OS (linux I suppose... Windows will be ok or I will face the same problem?) 3) Run boinc through virtual machine. Am I correct?

I have enabled also the virtualization in Intel machine and I got the same results as AMD. I can't figure out what may be wrong, so I will stick to Linux OS for the Quchem projects. Maybe, I will try sometime for a dual boot OS (windows/ linux) in AMD PC and attach the project on that Linux.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1359) Posted 16 Feb 2021 by stratos412 Post: Thanks for your responses @shift I haven't tried to reset the project. If I reset do I lose the work unit points? If not I will try it. Also, I checked your link and I can say the following things 1) Win10 HYPER-V is disable (all those features: machine platform, hypervisor platform etc) 2) I have also enable in BIOS virtualization features (ASUS motherboard) 3) For the time, I have tried the AMD tool and I get the following ''the system is compatible with hyper-V. The LEEMOON CPU: - ''Hardware Virtualization is supported and it is Enabled. - AMD-v is supported and AMD-v is enabled - Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is ticked. The other two are not.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1356) Posted 15 Feb 2021 by stratos412 Post: Thanks for your response. I have got one more question about Virtualization. I have a few PCs attached to this projects (see below links) https://quchempedia.univ-angers.fr/athome/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5196 https://quchempedia.univ-angers.fr/athome/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5198 https://quchempedia.univ-angers.fr/athome/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5271 I have installed in all of them Oracle Virtual Box. I have also enabled virtualization via BIOS and I can see that it is enabled through Windows Task Manager and some other tools. For some reason, only the first PC (ID=5196 // OS Linux Mint), which is 15 years old, has cpu virtualization enabled. The other two (ID=5198 // INTEL i5, OS WIN10-64bit ---- ID=5271 // AMD Ryzen 3400g, OS WIN10-64bit) do support virtualization, I have also enabled it, but as I can see in their links details ''CPU does not have hardware virtualization support''. Is something I am doing wrong and how can I solve it? As I can understand, this project requires virtualization to send work units, does it?

After finishing a QuChem work unit, I ended up with a ''validate error''. I suppose, it was a faulty unit, since all PCs working on it got pretty much the same. Can you please check it / confirm it?
