I'll stuck with the old Version 5.1.30 of Virtualbox. The last 18 Workunits went fine with it.
Now I had to stop calculating, because it's getting to hot in the appartment, adding more heat with the computer doesn't make sense. I'll restart again when the summer is over.

@bronco: Measuring progress is difficult. Usually boinc is rather accurate, if the wu does't run out of the rudder. You'll get an feeling for it if you know how fast your computer usually is calculating the Wu's and watch the progress from time to time.

If I cap the number of cores or processing time in Boinc on 6.0.8 the unmanageable message does not appear. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to calculate at all then. Progress is VERY slow, and task manager states CPU usage about 1 to 10 percent.
I installed the antique Version 5.1.30 then because it seemed to work on the "crap machine".
This old version seems to work, I calculated three atlas WU's without problems yet. I'll keep an eye on it.

No, That one was just for testing purposes. The machine has only 6 GB and an very old Version of Virtualbox installed. I was just curios to know if it works with that less RAM. It's crunching slowly but crunching.

Version 6.0.8 is not working here. After about 10 minutes I get "postponed for 86400 seconds, VM job unmanageable, restarting later" with ATLAS Simulation 1.01 (vbox64_mt_mcore_atlas) work units
I have tried in on two different PC's with actual Win10 64 Bit 1903, Boinc 7.14.2; one with AMD Ryzen 3-1300X 24GB RAM and the other an AMD RX-4300 with 8GB RAM. Virtualisation is turned on on both PC.

Which version is recommended for use with Boinc and LHC and is known to work smoothly?
Is there an official recommendation?
