I think it is because for whatever reason my 2nd WIN SMP client is never stable, very rarely did it go through a whole WU even when my machine was a stock with everything running a snail pace.. I may look at running 1 WIN SMP and 2 console clients to see what output I can get..
Help! :)

After reading through this thread, you seem to be having a lot of bad luck with your smp clients at the moment. Are you running your system overclocked as in your sig. As this could be a cause of stability problems.
I run @ 3.825 24/7, this is over 24 hours prime95 small FFTs stable and I have in the past coupld of days run a blend test for over 8 hours with no issue... also tried setting everything to stock and get the same issue when running 2 WIN SMP Clients and had the same issue when I tried the linux clients thro VMWare.. So am at a bit of a lose end really as to the cause.. The error is always the same cant remember off the top of my head which one.. but some research suggests could be a memory issue.. but seeing as I have run at stock with my memory timmings set really lose and still get the problem I cant see it being the memory (memory also passed a memtest even at its overclocked settings)...
Only thing I can think of trying now is a fresh install of XP and seeing if that makes a difference used a load of different clients etc.. now over the past two weeks maybe has messed something up somewhere!

Odd behaviour
My dodgy Q6600 was doing P2653 WUs at 17.5mins per frame at stock with the RAM at 800MHz at mobo's default timings of 5-5-6-19 or something ridiculous like that. The maximum the quad will do is 2.7GHz (must be about the only duff G0 in the world
) and the RAM is 1000MHz stuff. I set about overclocking it. I set the CPU to 2.7GHz - everything fine. I fiddled with the RAM and managed to get it working at 900MHz at 4-4-4-12 - excellent, I thought. I set it going and the frames were no longer taking 17.5 mins ................ they were taking 20.5mins 
I've set it to 1000MHz at 5-5-5-15 and the frames are now taking 15.25 mins.
WTF is that all about

It EUE'd my F@H but it worked fine otherwise.
