If my processor makes an error (due to being overclocked) while crunching a workunit, where would I see it?

Would the report come from my BOINC client or the task list in my profile?

I want to know because if my processor is making mistakes, I'll downclock it.

Generally you will see it in several places. If you are getting tons of 'Computation Error' messages in the Task Tab, under STATUS - Some piece of your machine is causing errors.

You can also check your history by logging into the website, clicking on 'My Account', then clicking 'View' for "Computers on this Account", then clicking TASKS next to the offending or suspect computer. I went ahead and checked here for you, and it doesn't seem as though you are getting invalid results, or computation errors. - Here's the links in case you get lost :
