As long as it's disregarded and not rejected you are doing fine.  Just keep mining.

But if it is shares rejected then you do have a problem, as it's hurting your mining.  But everything sounds normal that you mentioned.

You may want to lower your setting then  see if there is any differences.

And if you really have a problem with it doing this look at M's antmoniter.  It can do it automatically.

Each S3 and C1 seem to have a personality of their own.  Some are better, and others take more babysitting.

Have a look and check on which frequency your S3 is working. Try to lower it a bit. Sometimes you need to play with settings to find best frequency. How many HW errors do you have?
