I aborted all mine. It kept crashing my computers.

I know it can be very frustrating when you run into these kinds of issues. I've been building my own computers and running distributed computing projects on them all for almost 30 years. I currently have a very large collection of computers at my house right now. More than 20. I have a wide range of builds using CPUs from the Intel 4770K to AMD Threadripper 2990WX. GPUs from AMD 280X to Nvidia RTX 2080. None of my systems had issues with computation errors on this last batch of Mindmodeling tasks. As I mentioned earlier I have three Ryzen 3600 systems in the bunch. It's not uncommon for me to do a fresh install of Windows when I run into issues I can't find another solution to. I mentioned memory as a possible problem because with these latest Ryzen systems finding compatible memory and getting it set correctly can be a real issue. You didn't mention you were overclocking your CPU so I'll assume your not. Is it possible your CPU was getting to hot. I kind of doubt that would be the issue because you say the tasks fail instantly. Maybe update the BIOS if there's a newer BIOS released for your board? Given how cheap SSD's have gotten recently, maybe get one and switch it with your current drive. Then install a fresh copy of Windows on it and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't you can always reinstall the old drive and use the new one for extra storage. Hopefully you find the issue at some point. Good luck.

I got that "windows_x86_64 is not a recognized platform" error on a couple of my computers. Just hit the update button and they were off and running again. Really strange.

@bud20 I just noticed you posted that you have 24GB DDR4 Ram. I'm guessing that means you have 3 x 8GB dimms. I would stick with 2 dimms in the correct slots and maybe run MemTest86 for a few passes to make sure your not getting errors.

I have two Ryzen 3600 systems and one 3600X system. All were running the tasks just fine until this morning when the server is almost out of work. Possibly you have memory issues.
