This WU just stopped processing after about 3 minutes. I aborted it so one of the cores won't be idle.

The longer I live, the more reasons I develop for wanting to die.

I have had that happen once in a while. I have found that if I suspend that WU and let the processor work on another, when I un-suspend it another core will finish it.

I tried suspending/resuming but it didn't work. The WU had stopped almost half an hour before I noticed it. Maybe it was my system as I also lost 2 SETI WU's in progress during a reboot later on.

I've had this happen whenever a crashed unit caused the MS popup. Usually the core this happened on freezes but then resets itself within a few minutes.

I'm seeing this problem as well on at least two machines. The wu is shown as running but gets no CPU time. It clogs up the system pretty effectively. Another task can run at the same time but if I get two MW's in there, I'm out of business until I happen to check that machine and fix it.

Suspending the task and then letting it go again doesn't seem to help. OTOH restarting the BOINC service does seem to get it going again.

I'm running 5.10.30.

I found this one stuck for a number of hours ...just suspended it and will see if I have to restart Boinc to get it to finish.Looking at everyone who has posted about this problem the one thing in common is windows btw.

EDIT-Had to reboot Boinc to get it to restart.

I have had two of them so far, hopefully they will see what is causing it and fix it.

It's not only Windows. I have one right now that's stalled on a 64bit Linux computer.

I would restart BOINC, but since it's running CPDN on the other 3 cores, with fairly lengthy intervals between checkpoints, I waste less CPU time by aborting thie work unit.

This one hung up on me just now. I think it had been running most of the day, so I aborted it. Next time I'll try the suspending trick and see if that works. My first hung WU. The problems I was having with missing downloads yesterday do seem to be resolved however.

Observation: one of my Windows XP computers gets these problems several times a day. The other two haven't (yet). They run different versions of BOINC, so it may be related to the client.

The one that has regular problems is running BOINC 5.10.13 (32bit)
The others are running BOINC 5.10.30 (64bit) and BOINC 5.8.11 (32bit)

I will upgrade the one with 5.10.13 to the latest version when I can get access to it and see if the problem disappears. Will report here if problems persist.

When it does happen, suspending the work unit and resuming it again later does not solve the problem - it stays stuck. Restarting BOINC does seem to work however and it completes within seconds of the restart.

BOINC 5.10.24(Win 32Bit)
BOINC 5.10.30(Win 32Bit)

Update: I upgraded BOINC and it just got another one, so it's more likely the app is not always sending the right signals to BOINC when it's finishing.

Result name is gs_92_1199482628_108631_0 if it's any help. I will pause it for now - don't want to restart BOINC until Climate checkpoints again.

i'll take a look into the freezing WUs. not quite sure whats causing it because i'm pretty sure we're using the API correctly.

I have only had 1 unit freeze on my windows machine and it wasn't on finish...it was in the middle at about 40-50% progress...so mine had nothing to do with the finish file.

Mornin Travis, Overnight 3 of my puters could not crunch due to stopped ( frozen ) WU, i case and 2 computation errors All puters are 32 bit, 2 XP Pro and 1 2000 Pro. Boinc versions are 2 @ 5.10.30 and 1 @ v 5.10.28 One is an X86 single core the other 2 are Intel dual cores. Hope this info helps fix bugs. Cleared the jam and they are crunching again

I still have 1-2 out of each 20 that stop. A couple have stopped at just a few seconds.

I've had an increase of 'stopped' WU. Most get stuck in the 40-60% completed range. P3 & P4 Intel and a K6-2 AMD - none of the Athlon 64 or the Mac Core2 have 'stopped'. Win2K; Win2K Adv Server; WinXP and 32 bit Linux for OS. Boinc 5.10.30 for Windows and 5.10.21 on Linux.

Only the older architecture cpus seem to be affected on my end if that's any help.
