Someone else completed this WU without issue ...

Any idea why it goes like that ?

My CPU is not overclocked. And this is the 2nd time i encountered this error.
The other one was this : viewtopic.php?f=19&t=14164

If someone already completed it, why it got assigned again ? I got that WU about one day ago.

Thanks for your help.

It might be a good idea to check your machine for stability (and to clean dust from it if you didn't do so for a long time) (I mean both CPU and RAM stability).

I don't see where the WU was assigned again. Project: 6326 (Run 0, Clone 82, Gen 13) and Project: 6326 (Run 9, Clone 40, Gen 13) are different WUs.

[OUT OF TOPIC]

Does every EUE need to be reported here? My 2nd machine got EUE two days ago.

Most EUEs are reported automatically. Reporting them here may help others with a similar problem and it helps if we find a bad WU that needs to be stopped manually, but that's supposed to happen automatically, too, so a report here is not necessary, but it's generally a useful thing to do.

After an EUE, one of two things happen: The client frequently uploads a report and you get partial credit. Less frequently, the result is so badly corrupted that nothing is uploaded and the WU is deleted. Reporting the "wu deleted" cases is more important than reporting the uploaded cases.
