Is this a normal percentage of failed batches or do I need to do something??

Depends on what you define as "normal". We have no WUs that seem to be broken (i.e. give a client error on every machine they run on), and usually have about 5% of all Results (on Windows) that fail with a client error, by far the most of them with a General Access Violation.

There are quite a lot possible reasone for this error - hardware, system, drivers and of course bugs in our software. Walt Gribben recently found a nasty one in the BOINC library, but it will take some time to get this fixed and until it makes its way into our App.

This particular one and quite some other bugs may be avoided when running without using the graphics, so this might be worth a try.
