(moderation:
I currently have 5 of these work units processing on cpus. The elapsed time is between 25 and 40 hours. I am running on Ubuntu 12.04, with BOINC Manager 7.0.27.
Are these jobs actually running? I ask beauses the progress bars are all holding at a "fixed" percentage and the "remaining" time is "--". Will they finish? Or are they hulad (hung-up like a dog)?
I have changed my E&H project preferences to not include these jobs anymore. But that was after I noticed these "klingons". :>)
Suggestions? Let them run longer, abort ....

I also have a i7 3770K and it's clocked at 4.2GHz HT on, the Gamma-Rays take about 20 hours or so under Win 7.
Does your tasks have a status of running and not "waiting to run"?
I ask as running tasks very seldom show dashes in the time to completion field.
If the above is yes and no then I would try to restart Boinc or better yet do a cold reboot of the machine.
It should be super fun to

It should be super fun to have such huge amount of work marked as invalid and trashed (for no hardware reason). It happened rarely on v1.04, hopefully this is fixed on 1.09 (1.10 now, I see).

Interesting. The tasks in question were in a "running" state with "elapsed time" incrementing. I did a restart on the boinc-client (service boinc-client restart) and now those jobs are in a "waiting to run" state with new "elapsed times" and "remaining times". I get the feeling I have somehow invested a lot of time in 5 cpus without having accomplished much. The cpus that were vacated are now running jobs for another project. I will keep any eye on the tasks in question when the switch back in.
Good suggestion. Thanks.
As a follow-up: all work

As a follow-up: all work units completed and everything seems to be back to "normal".
Good to hear that all seems

Good to hear that all seems fine!
Never underestimate the power of a restart or reboot! =)
