I have been running BOINC for almost two years. Currently using Boinc mgr 4.43. Lately I have been getting computation errors on WUs on a regular basis. Here is a sample message stream for one of them. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks!

According to the Boinc Wiki, the Unrecoverable error for result xxxxx( - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)) message is related to the following:

Common causes of these errors can be:
Over stressed hardware, usually by heat.
Flaky, or bad device drivers.
An actual problem (Bug) in the BOINC Client Software, Science Application, or Operating System.
A bad Work Unit (usually a rare occurrence).

You could check various hardware related issues like:
1. Is your system stable? (see How-To Test Machine Stability)
2. Is your CPU cooling up to the job?
3. Is there adequate ventilation inside your case?
4. Have you checked all fans and cleaned the inside to remove dust buildup? (see How-To Do Basic Hardware Maintenance)
5. Is the ambient temperature of the room too high?
6. Can you setup a motherboard monitoring program to look at temperature fluctuations?
7. Can you swap memory sticks and see if the problem goes away?
8. Are you "overclocking" at all?

Try running with BOINC 5.4.9, it has lots of bug fixes plus it actually is compliant with Seti Enhanced's way of calculating based on FLOPS.
