Actually i found out, that both my PC do not have WU to work at anymore. Checked the news in my BOINC-client and here in the forums too, but found no info about no work available or something like that.
So it maybe is my PC ?
Have windows 10 and a AMD Radeon R9 Fury graphics card.

Help very welcome here

You didn't look very hard - here's one from a couple of hours before you posted
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80573&postid=1849033
and most subsequent posts in the same thread bemoan the lack of tasks coming out from the servers.

Yes, eventually i should click through every thread and read it until the end to find a notice that there is a problem also.
I never would expect an announcement on this.

This is such a common occurrence and possibly connected to the problems with the Centurion server, that the users usually find out about it earlier than the administrators do. They get then pinged about it by one or more users, after which they work silently on fixing it. It's more common around here that there isn't news about an outage than there is news about an outage.

I know, Rob didn't really answer very diplomatically, but he did point out the one thread in which these things get talked about by the users. So if you have any problems getting work in the future, navigate to the Number Crunching forums in the Message Boards (from drop down menu Community), and look for the latest version of the "Panic Mode" thread, then skip to the end of it to see if someone is talking about it. If they are, not your problem.

If no one is talking about it, it might still not be your problem, but you could ask about it in that thread. In the order of "I'm not getting work, am I the only one?" :)
