I stopped receiving credit for work done. I checked and it says last contact with server was 2 days ago. This was doing seti, world community grid, einstein and gpugrid. I looked on their home pages and there was no recent evidence that this computer was sending in work units.

Then look at the event log on your local computer and see if it has asked for any recently.

Thanks but I don't understand. This computer - a fast one - is working constantly but the work disappears - there is no record of it anywhere. If I go to the home page of Seti for example it show the work of my other two computers but nothing from this one.

I just built a gaming computer and when I added it to BOINC this one stopped communicating with the servers

Then you will most probably have two accounts, one with the two computers and one with the one you have the problems with. Best check its ID number in the event log messages: CTRL+SHIFT+E will bring that window up.

Those messages will also tell of other problems you may have.
