Please compare hashes (e.g. in debug menu: getblockhash 999034):

• When your hash doesn't match, try a restart of the client (see here why). If that did not help: you might try from menu: Advanced » Rebuild Block Chain (you can also apply the snapshot/bootstrap and make also a !backup of your important files); OR: come to IRC and we'll help you
