+### Understand the alert
+
+This alert monitors the average number of total tasks for the BOINC system over the last 10 minutes. If you receive this alert, it means that there is a deviation in the number of total tasks for your BOINC system, which may indicate an issue with the projects, the client, or even the tasks themselves.
+
+### Troubleshoot the alert
+
+#### Verify the project status
+
+1. Verify that the projects you contribute to are not suspended. You can check if the project has queued tasks to be done on the [BOINC projects page](https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php).
+
+2. Access your BOINC Manager, go to the _Projects_ tab, and check if the projects you contribute to are in the correct state (Active or Running). If a project is suspended, you can select it and click _Resume_ to reactivate it.
+
+#### Investigate task issues
+
+1. Access your BOINC Manager and go to the _Tasks_ tab to check the status of the current tasks. Look for any _Failed_, _Error_, or _Postponed_ tasks.
+
+2. If there are failed tasks, try to reset them by selecting the task, right-clicking on it, and choosing _Update_ or _Reset_. Be aware that resetting a task will discard any progress made on it.
+
+#### Restart the BOINC client
+
+1. For most Linux distributions:
+
+   ```
+   sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
+   ```
+
+2. For other operating systems or custom installations, refer to the BOINC's documentation for restarting the client: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Stop_or_restart_BOINC
+
+#### Check system resources
+
+BOINC tasks may fail or slow down if there is not enough system resources (CPU, RAM, or Disk Space) available. Monitor your system performance using tools like `top`, `free`, and `df`, and make adjustments if necessary to ensure that BOINC has enough resources to complete tasks.
