Windows 11 22h2 insider, radeon graphics, lenovo R480 thinkpad having too many failed tasks

When you allow others to 'see' those details (computers not hidden), you don't need to bother with finding the specifications.

Just for reference, your computer may well have been promoted as having an i5 CPU because the expectation of the average person might be that it would be better than an i3, for example.  However, CPU frequency (GHz - Giga Hertz - Billions of cycles per second) is probably a more important metric.  More cycles/sec means more instructions/sec that the CPU can process, all other things being equal.  I was probably too harsh in describing 1.6GHz as 'minuscule' - a lot 'slower than the average user might expect' would have been better :-).  i5 CPUs might normally be expected to run in something like the 3.2+ GHz range.  Heat generation goes up dramatically with frequency so the manufacturer has probably chosen to cripple the CPU frequency in order to have a much cheaper cooling solution :-).

Yes, there are lots of settings you can tweak and some of those can cause unintended side effects.  Take a good look at all the settings.  If anything is unclear, please ask.  There are lots of people willing to help.

The ATI name was for the original company taken over by AMD many years ago.  This allowed AMD to get into the GPU business.  'ATI' should really be dropped by Einstein in their descriptions since it doesn't really exist any more.  People would be much more familiar with 'AMD' these days.

If you think about it, it's probably perfect for business purposes - lots of word processing stuff that doesn't require much CPU.  How many businessmen 'on the go' are going to be running heavy duty scientific number crunching :-).

I chose to advise you to run the FGRPB1G tasks because they run on the GPU and require very little CPU support.  Hopefully, you will be surprised at how well they run.  The CPU speed makes very little difference to the final crunch time.

EDIT:  After posting the above, I had a look at some of the failed FGRPB1G tasks.  I saw quite a few where BOINC had tried to run the task on the machine's Intel iGPU.  Here is an example.  If you look through the stderr output, you will find:-

Error during OpenCL FFT (error: -6)   ERROR: gen_fft_execute() returned with error -1200494688

FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform and this routine is the key to analysing the data.  If this fails you need to stop using that iGPU.

Over the years there have been lots of problems with Intel iGPUs, mainly to do with with different versions of graphics drivers that caused invalid results.  As well there have been lots of compute errors (like this one) so you should configure the boinc client to prevent the iGPU from being used.  The easiest way to do that is to override some default configuration options to prevent the use of the iGPU.  You do that by creating a simple config file named cc_config.xml with a plain text editor like Windows notepad and installing it in the boinc client folder.

Here is the file you need (plain text and named exactly cc_config.xml).

<cc_config>
   <options>
      <ignore_intel_dev>0</ignore_intel_dev>
   </options>
</cc_config>

After installing the file you will need to restart the boinc client so that the new option gets read at startup.

Hope this helps.
