Everytime I reboot my PC, I get computation errors. Also BOINC client on my S4 wont receive GPUGRID task.

You seem to have a lot of errors on that system.
Do they only occur when you reboot your computer? D
Do CPU tasks from other projects also fail?

Even in your finished WUs there are errors, but the simulation was able to recover. This hints at a serious hardware problem, which could be anything from the GPU to PSU, mainboard, RAM and CPU. I sorted these in dsecending probability.

Your "S4" is the Samsung phone, isn't it? As far as I know GPU-Grid doesn't support ARM CPUs, and very likely won't do so for quite some time to come, because they need fast hardware. In fact, only a handful of projects go through the hassle of building apps for ARM.

Well I have my GPU overclocked. Does OC increases the possibility of error during work?

Also, the S4 is indeed my phone. Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4 with Exynos cpu. I am aware of the hardware requirements for CUDA and OpenCL. I just made the question because the android based BOINC app has a GPUGRID project. I wanted to believe that it works on ARMs cpus (I think I might work on Tegra phones and tablets).

No other BOINC project have gave me errors on my systems, Intel-Nvidia desktop or AMD laptop.

Yes - try using default settings.

Also, the S4 is indeed my phone. Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4 with Exynos cpu. I am aware of the hardware requirements for CUDA and OpenCL.

GPUGrid did have work some time ago, but not now.

No other BOINC project have gave me errors on my systems, Intel-Nvidia desktop or AMD laptop.

Sounds like the OC is probably the issue. Could still be the card (physical), the PSU, or the motherboard.

Yes. GPU-Grid taxes the chips harder than most projects, which makes errors more likely.
