This is about all the information I could find related to those errors. I guess stupid things to check are that you've allocated enough RAM for the VM ( I go with 512 per myself ), and that you have the machine set to run with two processors instead of one.

 
First of all, you will also want to add the -forceasm switch to the command line as well as the -smp and -verbosity 9 switches. This way it will always run with SSE optimizations.

Is the machine overclocked at all? If so, it could be instability from that. You will need to check to make sure the system is stable using something like Prime95 or Orthos. Since it hasn't even started working on the unit I wouldn't guess that it's temperatures. Temps haven't even had a chance to raise yet.

Other than that, I can't really think of much unless the specific work unit is bad or something. You might want to try deleting the work folder, the queue.dat file and the fahcore_ax.exe file. That way it will create a new work folder as well as queue.dat file and will download a new core file in case there is something wrong with what you have. I've had this fix a couple problems before.

I would mention checking permissions but you should have read/write/execute priviliges since it's located in a folder in your home directory.

 
It seems to be working now...did the manual install instead of using finstall script.
 
That might explain it, I've never used the finstall script. I've always downloaded and unpacked the client and set it up to run.
