Is it normal when processing time for a task freezes and task manager indicates no CPU usage for it?

dous it indicates an error, in the work or in the message's tab?

No.

Hmmm, I too currently am experiencing this. On my AMD64 X2 5200 (using Linux), I have WU 1zpy_BOINC_TWIST_RINGS_TWIST_ANGLE_SYMM_FOLD_AND_DOCK_RELAX-1zpy_-native__2477_314663_0 that is currently showing CPU Time01:58:28, 100.000% complete, --- to completion, BUT also the status says "Running". Gkrellm shows one Boincsimap unit using 100% of my CPU and the other thread shows 0%. This is identical in behaviour to the one I reported in the 5.93 problems thread. Guess I have to exit the manager, Killall -9 boinc, and restart to free my machine back up and get it producing.

Hmm, I did just that and the when I restarted that wu reverted to show 00:10:25 CPU Time, 6.465% complete, and 02:56:23 remaining. Oh great, guess I have to babysit this one.

Good luck Pedro.

here's a link to the other time this happened to me

Looking at the tasks tab in the advanced view, what status is shown? If it shows "running", then zero CPU time in task manager is not normal. Suggest you exit (not just close) BOINC and restart. But if it shows "waiting for memory" or other status, then let us know. It may be normal.

The "Status" field says "running, high priority".

I've just tried to click in the show graphics for one of those tasks and then was prompted with a "not responding" message from windows. After clicking in "finalize task" the status changed to "computation error".

Is there a way to find out the reason for this kind of error?!?!?

Pedro, I'm guessing you tried to translate the button's text (I appreciate that!). In English I believe you are referring to the "abort" button. If memory is correct, the messages tab will always show a computation error when you manually abort a task that way.

You aren't the only one having odd behavior. The results get sent back to the Project Team and they are working on resolving these issues.

Yes, your right, I'm trying to translate button's text, but I was referring to a windows dialog box and button, not a BOINC button. It is a option shown by windows when a process stops responding. It gives you the option to force finalization.

I was worrying because I just bought an extra stick of memory and it could be damaged or malfunctioning. But since there are other people here reporting the same problem I have some hope.
