My hardware specification first:
Dell Studio XPS M1645 - i7 , 8GB Ram, Seagate 320 Hybride-harddisk.
Windows 7 x64 with NIS2011

Since I use this notebook, every work-unit completed gave te following error when finished for uploading:

Server reports problem with unit..

I use Folding@Home Client Version 6.23".
Location of "Folding@Home": C:\Users\Abraham54\AppData\Local\Folding@home

This fact makes me unhappy, so at the moment all folding work is stopped.

I've never seen a run number that high! I think you have a bad WU - maybe a kind Mod can check it out ... Have you been doing the same work over and over again? (have a look in the log file to see)

There's no record of the WU being returned yet. Like John, I don't remember seeing numbers that high but it does look like they're valid. I see that P10425 R35822 C0 G36 was added to the stats database on 2011-04-28 15:10:21 PDT and Gen 37 is created when Gen 36 is completed so it's perfectly reasonable that you received that WU soon after that.

The "server reports problem with unit" message generally means that the data is corrupt (which might have happened on your system or during the upload process) or when the WU has already been received (which apparently is NOT the case). Let it attempt to upload a few more times before you panic.

You said you had troubles with other WUs. Please post a copy of the log from download through attempted upload.

The WU isn't a bad one since it was completed successfully by another Donor:

Your WU (P10425 R35822 C0 G37) was added to the stats database on 2011-05-27 06:05:32 for 194 points of credit.
