The following message is what was in my log. Is it something that I should be concerned about? My system is oc'd a bit but I ran Prime95 for 24 hours with no errors so i believe it is pretty stable.

Thanks for any info you can give me.
 
Guys I found the answer in a sticky on the Folding@Home forums. It looks like Gromacs sometimes just gets into a state where it can't continue or my computer is unstable. If it happens again I guess I'll have to clock my system back a bit. 🙁
 
I've seen the same here (usually associated with the same couple WUs. It's not always something wrong with your setup. I wouldn't change anything unless you start seeing this on a frequent basis.

The good news is that you get credited with the work that did get done before the unit had to exit. So hour for hour, your score is just as good as if you had made it to the end.

Cool thing about F@H is that your computer's work doesn't go to waste if an unstable WU is released to you.

They are trying something new on some of the projects and they expect many EARLY_UNIT_ENDs. They are useful results.

If you get E_U_Es on every projects' WUs then you have problems with your computer.

Depending on settings, you might only get one projects' WUs for a long time.

When these new projects start, they can have more EUEs. As they get further along you will see fewer.
