By seeing your log and looking at the configuration of your hardware, it is possible that you have a problem with your GeForce 8800 GTS, overheating or other ...

That appears to be true. You did receive partial credit for that WU.
Your WU (P5768 R6 C60 G30) was added to the stats database on 2012-02-21 13:02:23 for 324.46 points of credit.

The WU was reassigned and others completed it successfully.

The messages
[20:11:05] Run: exception thrown during GuardedRun
. . .
[20:11:10] Folding@home Core Shutdown: UNSTABLE_MACHINE
mean exactly what they say ... your machine decided to be unstable and reported a hardware exception. We can only guess why that happened.

[Fahrenheit451]

Thank you for your feedback. But overheating is IMHO definitely not the reason. The GPU runs at stock speed and about 65°C (according to HW Mon) in a well cooled big tower (see my system specs for system 1). But I will not exclude that the system sometimes has a hiccup due to a general overload (2 FAH single core instances, the gpu client and normal use (office, video, internet) at the same time.

[verlyol]

Yes it is possible, but remember to keep the graphics card because the 8800GTS were sometimes defectives in a long-term use ... to follow if the problem recurs regularly.
