	Looks like a broken RAM / hardware crashed the hole server, the downtime was 15h. I have moved the VM to my old server, this was stable but have now some errors in Linux, if you fix something another error appears. The win log still telling me broken hardware but need to take time to maybe reinstall OS, testing RAM etc. You will now getting a lot of download errors because the input files were deleted while the WU was already finished. Around 1h after my last backup yesterday the server seems to be crashed. Iam thinking about to let the BOINC VM on the old server, no updates (except firewall), less OS crash impacts but slower. Apologies for the outage.

	The OS is now reinstalled completely, need to check some things further. I cant run the VM on the old Win7 system. Its very slow to upload files to DB or backups / reading folders with many files. The OS was broken on the other drive.

	I'm trying to add a new host and getting a failure error in BOINC. Never even get to the username and password screen. Is this an issue cause by the recent crash?

If you have received this shortly after the crash then you can abort them. Your listed one is still in your account.

	I apologize for making an account just to comment, but my world community grid will not connect with your project at this time. (Jan 20th, 2022 -- 15:27) I read a comment about updating a "cert" file, so if you think that is the problem with me, would you mind explaining how I update this on Win10? Or on the World community grid site?

	I guess I am meaning to say BOINC MAnager, and maybe not world community grid. I will check back here later.

	Testing complete: 1 of 4 RAM modules was broken, need to be replaced it soon, still in warranty but has held only for 2 years perhaps earlier with all theses issues. The server VM will be moved to the new server shortly. This will take around <1h
