You have received credit fot the valid wu's, but most wu's says client error.
Is your computer overclock?
Dirty CPU heat sinc?
etc.
something is causing errors

All errors are related to:

***UNHANDLED EXCEPTION****
Reason: Privileged Instruction (0xc0000096) at address 0x0023E781 (or a similar memory address)

I would look at overclocking first, but check the memory as well. Do you have any errors in Windows?

Also, can you copy some of the messages from the Messages tab in the Boincmanager over to here? All of those red ones, yes.

I don't think I have see a privileged instruction error yet ... so I would love to see those logs ...

Then again, that is just me ...

I got a wonderful log today that let me do 4 messages I never had before ...

But I had some odd errors so now I am going back and restesting logs with a clean (well, it started clean) list of messages found ... I seemed to have been missing some of interest ...

well, all that schooling with regular expressions seems to be coming in handy ...

Hi MR, it can take as little as 2 seconds (if you're the 3rd or 4th person with the unit and the validator is on top of everything) to I think it was calculated as 3 months, if everyone but you errors out.

Waiting 2 weeks is completely acceptable (because there are 2 week limits on the units), but I've found that it rarely takes more than 1 week. Another thing is I've noticed that they seem to match up computers with similar turn around times so that people aren't waiting for credit to come in... it might be a figment of my imagination, but that's what I've seen personally.

In other news, you're updated now =-)

Welcome to BOINC =-)

If you look at the Validation Process you will get an explanation of the operation of it. You also need to look at the definitions of the various terms to get the most out of it.

Once you get into a "flow" and the projects stay up you will sustain an average amout that will stay relatively steady. For example, if you look me up on Willy's site you will see that I do about 2,400 Cobblestones a day right now. Some days more, some days less. When there is an outage, like the upcoming one for SETI@Home, I am going to have a drop there and my daily average will drop for a couple days. Then I have a "Spike" in credit ... if you look at this last month and look back a week or so, I had a 14,000 day.

This was not because of some aliens from outer space, it was just that CPDN had some serrver/database problems and when they got my credit right ... well, lets just say that it was a nice feeling ...

The Wike (and my old site which we are moving the content from) have lots of material to read, helpful guides, FAQs, listings of messages and what they mean, glossary, and even odd moments of humor ...
