    >>> % of time BOINC client is running: 58.54 %

    That suprised me when I saw it, as both of my machines run BOINC 24/7.

    Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

      Do you have Boinc set to stop when other things are going on with the pc?

      ie:

      Processor usage

      Suspend when computer is on battery?:
      yes

      no

      Suspends computing on portables when running on battery power.

      Suspend when computer is in use?:
      yes

      no

      Suspends computing and file transfers when you're using the computer.

      Suspend GPU computing when computer is in use?:
      yes

      no

      Suspends GPU computing when you're using the computer.

      "In use" means mouse/keyboard input in last: minutes
      This determines when the computer is considered "in use".

      Suspend when no mouse/keyboard input in last: minutes
      This allows some computers to enter low-power mode when not in use.

      Suspend when non-BOINC CPU usage is above: %

        No. The machines here are four core eight thread systems, both BOINC Managers are visible on this screen 24/7 both show eight threads running BOINC processes all the time. Hence, my surprise. The task manager shows 95-100% all the time, it is why I have such large heatsinks on my CPU's. I was wondering if that figure was not counting right when VM's are in use by some projects.

          Yes that would make sense.
