Why this WU goes directly to invalid?

(moderation:
I start a new (old hardware) host and noticed a big part of the WU who goes directly to invalid after almost at the end of the crunching others validate normaly.
Any ideias how to avoid that?
Examples:

You're getting validate errors on those work units. A validate error means that the result did not pass the first sanity check the validator performs, most probably because the result file contains garbage that should not be there.
Check your hardware and temps, if overclocked lower it or go back to stock.
and if not overclocked nor

and if not overclocked nor overtemp, try lowering the clock(s) anyway.
And if you have not already, try a full power-off cold reboot of the entire machine.
No OC or high temp, do a cold

No OC or high temp, do a cold reboot and will keep na eye on that.
Was running 2 WU at a time (no CPU WU), switch to 1 WU only.
Thanks

Does it have a factory overclock?
Have you measured the core temp? If so, what is it?
Based on the time of your message (17 Jan 2016, 18:35:43 UTC) and allowing for the two 'in progress' tasks (those running at the time) to finish, your most recent task to finish (17 Jan 2016, 23:24:16 UTC) may have been the first to be crunched entirely on its own. It has validated, so all good so far.
With no CPU tasks at all, there should be no reason why that GPU can't crunch well at 2x. When you say "no CPU WU" does that mean all projects or just Einstein? If you are running CPU tasks at another project that might impact on the performance of the GPU. It shouldn't cause errors though.
Cheers,
Gary.

After I switch back from 2 WU to 1 WU at a time i see no error
NO CPU work when i run 2 E@H GPU WU (in any Project) and the error aparently happening.
Now i run just 1 E@H GPU WU and 1 S@H CPU WU. An I see no errors for the entire night of crunching.
So apparently the problem start when i start the 2 GPU WU (and obviusly stop all CPU work).
After few deys of crunching and when i be sure there are no erros when running 1 WU will do the test with 2.

You computer page here says "Bonaire" so it's a HD7xxx card?
Stock speed for HD7xxx is 800-900MHz for regular and 1000MHz for the GHz versions. Card with higher "stock" clocks are overclocked by the card manufacturer.
I have seen people here at E@H having problems with these overclocked cards.
It´s a R7 260x IIRC

Ah, the 260X runs 1100MHz

Ah, the 260X runs 1100MHz stock from AMD. Have not heard about any clock issues with that.

How much GPU memory does card this have?
A general question - i can not find any AMD utility to show %GPU memory free.
2 GB You could see the

2 GB
You could see the memory usage with afterburner or gpu-z then just make the diference from the total and you get the free memory.
