Plus 2 other Atlas tasks and 6 Theory tasks as well. All identical errors.
I am using only 68% RAM.

At the same time this was happening I was opening a picture in Vivaldi from Facebook. Then Vivaldi goes nuts and I close it and look at BOINC and this task a few others all errored out. Think some stuff from Theory also crashed. I checked Vivaldi for updates and installed a new version and then tried to reboot BOINC and saw another project blow up with errors and exited BOINC rapidly. Tried to reboot BOINC again and it would not communicate with my local host. So rebooted the system and started up again. Seems ok now. But what happened?

The only non BOINC project I am running is FAH on my older GPU.[/url]

Int 16h function 03 is just an attempt to set the typematic rate (repeat rate) of the keyboard

I noticed this as well when looking in VBOX at the machine that was running.
Thing is, I never set any amount of memory for VBOX or for Windows, I leave that up to the task/program to determine.
I have more than enough physical and virtual memory to run ATLAS, its just getting the memory up.
I did find in another page related to ATLAS a script that had been tested and verified by an advanced cruncher that forces the memory higher.
I have put that in app_config and see how that performs the next time ATLAS tasks land on my system.
Right now other projects are taking their turn using my system.
