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. + -- cgit v1.2.3
