1) Message boards : News : Server Maintenance 12:00 PM ET (16:00 UTC) 9/23/2022 (Message 74360) Posted 6 Oct 2022 by DaveH52 Post: I've had a bunch of tasks, usually 8 CPU de_nbody tasks that should take about 9 minutes, but the longer they run, the longer they have left to run, and aren't using any CPU time, finally they never finish and throw a "computation error" message. On the other hand, I've had a bunch that don't pause when I pause BOINC. BOINC manager shows them paused, but TaskManager shows they're still running under VBox, even if I quit BOINC completely. A reboot finally kills it. I've just suspended Milkyway because I have anooher task that's been running for hours, but not making progress. The longer I've let it run the more time remains. before it will finish. At that rate it never will. DaveH52
