No Assigned Tasks

(moderation:
I've just started working with einstein@home after a lengthy absence. I've updated to the latest version of the BOINC Manager and Virtual Box. However, I don't see any tasks assigned to my computer .Do I just need to wait for a while or is there a problem that needs to be resolved?
You've got 14 tasks currently

You've got 14 tasks currently assigned to your host. But one already has errored out. Not sure if your drivers or Intel igpu is up to the task.

Yes. Your machine appears to be overloaded.
You have two GPU tasks (MeerKAT) which use the CPU based internal GPU as well as 13 FGRP5 CPU tasks, one of which has already failed. If you look at the failed task you can see a huge difference (at the time of failure) between CPU time and elapsed time (run time). This is a clear indication of an overloaded condition. When not overloaded, the gap between the two values should be quite small.
How many concurrent CPU tasks is your machine trying to process? Your CPU shows as 6C/12T so if you haven't restricted the number of threads BOINC is allowed to use, this would likely be the cause of the overload.
Using the Intel GPU will likely be problematic if you don't severely restrict the number of CPU threads being used. Run times are likely to be very long. You may even find that GPU tasks fail to validate, even if they successfully complete. Perhaps you should try suspending all current CPU tasks and allow a GPU task to run to completion to get some idea of whether or not running GPU tasks is worthwhile.
I've never tried running tasks on an Intel GPU so I can't give proper advice. I'm just going on what others have reported.
