I am getting many errors on "shorty" gpu units of 3 seconds each. I wonder it it is just my computer or others are experiencing this also?

Thanks,

You got "finish file present too long" messages on those errored tasks. It can happen to anyone running the 7.14.2 client or earlier. In essence, BOINC found a result file still lurking around when it should have been deleted. Can happen if the computer is busy with other tasks when you are shutting the client or the machine down and BOINC doesn't have enough time to clean up after itself.

Remedied in the beta 7.16.3 client. The issue was logged here and the code was fixed.

Nothing wrong with your computer. You just picked up a random error. You could update the client to 7.16.3 and get rid of those if you want.
