Guys, this WU has been crunching forever now, Stopped at 80% about 2 hours ago. The process is still getting 50% CPU Utilization in task manager, have had other WU's stop before for a while before finishing. But not for over 2 hours.

Should I cancel it, or leave it longer?

I ain't leaving it overnight, that would be 12 hours of 1 Core wasted.

The 3rd WU is *waiting to run* cos I suspended the stuck one for a sec just to see if un-suspending it would unstick it, it did nothing.

ETA keeps going up by 1 second every 5 seconds. started out at 1h 20m to completion. 7 Hours is rediculous.

:eek: Just restarted boinc, restarted at 80%, now at 80.2% and moving up. Actual Computation time is 3h 50m.

Will see what happens when it hits 80.954%

Its working now, the BOINC Manager restart fixed that :up:

Can't wait for this WU to complete. Its wasted 3 hours of cpu time :rolleyes:

Still going veery slowly to 100% can be fast sometimes then breaks for 5 mins,then goes again at 0.1% per minute lol.

Its at 93% right now.

I don't usually watch them but every so often I get one that just runs forever (20+ hr)then errors.

It's a known issue with HPF2. The WU will "stick " at some point and not progress even though it's using CPU power. Fortunately it's quite rare and you can catch it if you keep an eye on things. The solution as you found is a quick reboot, or go into the projects tab, suspend WCG for 30 seconds and then resume.
