(moderation:
the last two weeks i'm not able to process any WU.
My system:
Athlon XP 2700+
Linux 2.6.18
2G RAM
Boinc 5.4.9
Mostly the calculation fails like this:

What means "xTemp >= 0 failed"?
I've reset the project --> no success
I've moved the boinc folder and created it from scratch --> no success.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is a sanity check in the program. This failing usually points to a hardware problem, most frequently a too hot CPU (overclocked, fan failing, whatever), less frequently a problem with RAM. Check your hardware.

Thamk you for your response.
I've done some testing by running the mprime (linux version of prime95) torture test.
The test failed after a few seconds. So I suppose, the problem is a defect CPU.
If it where a thermical problem, the test would run a little bit longer.
Now I'm trying to get a replacment CPU for my system.
Unfortunatley this type is not sold on every corner nowadays. So I have to try the market for used parts; not to be sure, getting a error free one.

A defect CPU is relative unlikely.
I'v seen that you have 2 GiB RAM, thats a lot for the most socket A mainboards and I would recommend you to check the RAM first before you spend your money for a new cpu.
The RAM is brand new because

The RAM is brand new because of a defect RAM 14 days ago.
That was the time I received 0.00 credit for my results. They where send to a third computer for recalculation.
The new RAM has been checked with memtest86 and seems to be ok.
BTW: I bought two used CPUs on ebay. They'll be delivered next week. Then I'll do same more checking.

Problem solved!
Here are my results from testing:
CPU ok
RAM ok
Motherboard defect
While swapping the CPUs I discovered a bunch of blasted elcos on the mobo.
It was an ASUS A7N8X. Does anyone else have a similiar problem?

RE: Problem solved! Here

Broken elcos on mainboards is a know problem, but I have never heard that this happens on an A7N8X.
RE: While swapping the CPUs

Yep. In fact 180 of them.

What mainboards were affected?
