Somehow your application seems to be a bit…. weird.

I have a ryzen 1800x so it has 8 real cores, 16 threads. for a "cool" running Computer i let it run max 8 "hyperthreaded cores". Lets my Computer be sweet and smooth.

Unfortunately, your app does not behave well in boinc (or the vbox config isnt nice)

a) it is multithreaded. from my Observation, every vbox instance is suited for using all avail cores (so for me, 8-threaded). When running inside boinc it does not Show ist multithreaditivy. so it runs multiple instances clogging up the puter to heatmax. it starts 8 instances - i dont have 64 cores!

b) it seems to use up to 4 gig every instance. But the mem usage is not reported (or put in before running) to BOINC. So even if my Computer would be able to run multiple instances of multicore WUs, it also reaches my max RAM. (which is what some other also describe as "hard drive over-usage " - it is the constant swap file read/write.

Since your app managed to crash my windows into BSOD twice I have suspended it until you fix some issues. By the way: the boinc developers or some techy-guru-people here in forums may be able to help you on some of the settings.
