    Hmmm...let's wait for F$ or one of the MW gurus to chime in here, but if I remember right, the validation inconclusive statement just means it's waiting for another cruncher to crunch that same WU, and then the server will compare the two results for validation.
    In other words, it's not an error...yet. Unless it comes back with a different result than what your rig gave.
    Someone please correct me if I'm mis-remembering here.

    yeah I did some googling... boinc defines it as the server can't tell if I finished the WU correctly, and will either send the WU back to me, or to another person.. if the 2nd Wu shows different, it will go out a 3rd time.. and from what I read 2 of 3 will "win"

    If I see more of these crop up... or error.. then I'll turn down the OCing a bit on my CPU and GPU
