Your problem has nothing to do with Validate errors so I've moved your post to a new thread.
I notice that your CPU is listed as 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 37 Stepping 5]' so I presume the 'M' means that it is a laptop or notebook. It has 4 cores and you are running GPU tasks so I'm guessing your machine is suffering from overheating.
When was the last time you checked for blocked air passages? Can you give it a good blow out with compressed air? Put your hand near the air outlet and feel the strength and heat in the airflow. Is there a good strong flow and how hot is it?
You could reduce heat by limiting the number of CPU cores in use through your computing preferences. I'd change that to 50% and see what happens. Your GPU performance might actually improve as a result and also the tasks may start validating.
Cheers,

hello, Thanks for the

hello,
Thanks for the answser.
Yes i'm using a notebook.
But i always use only 50% (2CPUs). Yes the airflow is really a little bit hot.
But there are no problems using my GPU for other projects (Seti, POEM..)
Now i'm going to try running only one one opencl_ati task and no other CPU tasks.
