oh well - it is still reporting same errors - and an allocated daily quota down to 2 a day now - so shall give up on this as no results valid.

sorry

4) no preference override

thank you

Looks like we're getting closer to identifying the problem, sort-off. The 1073741819 is somewhat of a give-away to a client side error.

Are you overclocking maybe? If so, set back to stock for now.
Will you please set your <cpu_usage_limit>60.0</cpu_usage_limit> to 100 (BOINCmgr, advanced menu, Local Preferences, processor usage tab)

That your daily quota got cut to 2 is as you'll have surmised a result of sending in too many errors. This following FAQ will lead you along an extending path of other items to check:

Let us know of your findings.

Thank you for your help

I have set the cpu usage limit to 100 but will have to limit it to overnight now as I need to utilise this PC more.

I have not altered the speed the pc is running at - so no overclocking issues.

I will work through the list you pointed me at and see whether there is anything else that could be an issue

I will update - possibly tomorrow when I know whether the daily quota starts climbing.

many thanks

Good morning, Sekerob

I should have added normansfletcher's name to the quote. That line is from his messages and I was wondering if that had contributed to his problem.

I hope it is all resolved for him now :-)
