Milkyway@Home (BOINC) testing on my HP 15s laptop (2022.12.23)

(Edited)

This laptop is currently running Windows 11 Home.
The hardware specifications of this laptop: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U with Radeon Graphics 2.70 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD (KBG40ZNV256G KIOXIA).

The average results in this project:
This laptop is finishing a CPU task around 42 minutes, and a GPU task around 10-15 minutes (I see that it is using the CPU + GPU combined), but something is not right with the tasks. Currently there are 54 tasks, and 42 task in progress. Currently only two tasks are valid. The validation is inconclusive on 10 tasks. Currently there is no validation pending. There are no invalid tasks or errors either.

The tasks.

Why the validation is inconclusive on 10 tasks? What does this exactly mean? I see that it is not invalid, and not an error either. Can anyone (preferably someone with more BOINC experience) tell me some details about this?

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

I would not stress-test a laptop.
Good luck cleaning the dust out the fans...

We use it for gaming too. GTA V, Valorant, Heroes of the Storm, League of Legends, Saints Row IV, etc. It can run many games without any problems.

Hope this wouldn't damage the laptop

I use Boinc since 2010 or since 2011. I ran it on multiple computers (including laptops) since then. It did not damaged any of my computers so far. And we often run resource demanding applications (for example video games) on this laptop without any problems.
