the above is just an example, but there's about 30 total items with "Completed, validation inconclusive". It's cropping up on in this project for me and on both CPU and CUDA WUs. However, this is the only project I have these issues with. Errors in other projects were generated when a few WUs here and there wouldn't shut down and I had to blow them up with taskmanager, and then they Errored

Anything I should be concerned about?

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. :D

Although I am not familiar with the reason for that error, I would leave a copy of your post at the MW Message Boards and their experts might give you an answer. Having said that, If you do get a satisfactory answer there, could you post a copy here so that we may all learn from it...

Keep on crunching and have a nice day...

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
