I dont believe I have ever had any failed units. Not normal for me, and I have not heard of any problems with anyone else. No other projects fail?

My first impressions of boinc and einstein@home are not very good. It appears that you can only get 8 work units a day, what happens when 6 of them fail? That means your computer can only work on 2? Now that #7 has failed my computer can only work on 1. Not impressed one bit.

You guys may lose me before I even start.

Is BOINC the problem or just E@H?

I can't say as I've ever noticed a failed work unit in all the time that I've been doing the Boinc E@H project! Certainly, I've had credit take weeks to process thru and change from pending to results, but that's explained by other processes.

I would have to assume it's boinc, as i had 2 more failed work units last night.

I used to display the screensaver for a long time and then realized *DUH* that I'd get better times if I turned it off - generally 20 to 30 mins per WU, even with the screensaver having been set to 1minute previously. :eek: :p

Then it could well be the overclocking. ;)

I have a Northwood(?) P4 1.6 that will overclock to just over 2.4 if I use it for web-browsing and light duty stuff; but with E@H, the highest I can do is 2.13 GHz for stable performance. And that's actually the only rig I do overclock - all the rest are stock.
