All Einstein workunits either run forever with nothing completed or computational error message

(moderation:
I have a Fujitsu laptop running Windows 8.1 and recently added Einstein to six other BOINC projects on my computer which all run fine including SETI which calculates using INTEL GPU. No Einstein work units have completed successfully. They either run forever with 0% completed or there is a "calculation error" message. Usually 4 tasks of anything run on this computer at once. Einstein runs 1 task at a time using .5 CPU + 1 GPU. Any suggestions?

Some of the Intel GPU tasks do run but gets aborted by Boinc with the message "Maximum elapsed time exceeded" indicating that they run way to slow.
Try to free at least one CPU core to support the GPU app, this can be done in the online computing prefs by setting "On multiprocessors, use at most xx% of the processors" to 75%. After setting the pref open Boinc and on the project tab click on Einstein and then on update to download the new setting.
This should reduce the CPU tasks to 3 and give a significant speedup of the GPU app.
