Did some searching and found this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103167.0It suggests trying the checkblocks command and checking your log files for corruption. >bitcoin-qt.exe -checkblocks=0 -checklevel=6 This really shouldn't happen so often -- is your hard drive failing? Can you check the SMART diagnosis? I'd try relocating the datadir to a secondary hard drive just to see if that helps.

It looks like you have the default 8 connections. Setup Port Forwarding so that you can get more connections. My client used to run with 60+ connections until I limited it to 20.
Also if this is the wallet that you have been doing your AMU transactions with you may have a problem with wallet fragmentation. If that is the case I would PM a Pool Op and see what they do about it. Sam
I have forwarding on, but it never goes over 8 anyways Set your router to forward TCP 8332 traffic to the IP of the machine with your bitcoin client. Then set that machines firewall to accept unsolicited incoming TCP 8332 packets. Those two steps should get you more the 8 connections. It should work better. Don't know if it will solve your issue though. Sam

It looks like 4 is the maximum for checklevel. Having an assertion fail is not good -- did you check your logfiles (db.log and debug.log) and your overall RAM/HD(SMART) health?

I don't think you've properly ruled out your hard drive. You said it was "fine", but didn't specify how you came to that conclusion. Have you run a disk check on it? What does the SMART data show?

As far as I know the datadir isn't valid in the bitcoin.conf file. Maybe they added it to a new release? Usually you have to add it to the command line options, e.g. in your startup folder or just as a separate shortcut that you start yourself.
